475 Yonge Condos Designed by BDP Quadrangle, the proposed towersrising to heights of 256 and 247 metreswould replace the 78 and 75-storey hotel buildings with much greater density.
A graphic explaining the evolution of Quadrangles massing strategy sheds some light on the proposed built form. As shown below, moving the towers away from Yonge Street reduces shadow impact on nearby 11 Wellesley Park, while the sculpted forms increase tower separation, allowing residential suites more natural light, and further mitigating new shadowing. A public space at the east end of the site is also planned, strengthening the existing mid-block pedestrian connection while attempting to create a sense of continuity with the Alexander Street Parkette to the north. The proposed landscape plan was drafted by Ferris + Associates.

The hotel suites would be distributed among the podium and the taller north tower, while the 45-storey south tower is proposed with only residential suites. The 988 residential suites are configured as 78 bachelor (10%), 611 one-bedroom (62%), 181 two-bedroom (18%), and 99 three-bedroom (10%) units.
