Rumble in the Annex will define city

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2005 / February 4

An impending battle over the high-rising of Toronto's Bloor Street West could mark a crucial turning point in the current controversy about the city we want. At issue is a pair of linked condominium towers (34 and 18 or 19 storeys) proposed for the northeast corner of Bloor Street and Bedford Road. One Bedford, as the project is known, will not be the first large building to go up along the Bloor border of Toronto's quiet, dignified Annex neighbourhood. It will, however, be a clear signal that supersized residential skyscrapers are on the march west of Avenue Road along Bloor.
