"Meeting turns thumbs down on ROM condo tower". (2005, 2 November). CBC News.
The Royal Ontario Museum got a rough reception Tuesday at a public meeting about its plans to build a condominium tower on Queen's Park Crescent.
The proposed 46-storey building would be erected next to the ROM on the site of the now-closed McLaughlin Planetarium, and would tower over neighbouring buildings at the nearby University of Toronto.
Stuffco, Jered. (2005, 2 November). "ROM condo project takes heat from critics". Globe and Mail.
Critics of a proposed 46-storey condominium that could be erected at the south end of the Royal Ontario Museum faced off against the project's supporters in a heated exchange last night.
Hampered by technical difficulties and heckling from the crowd, architect Brian Brisbin made his pitch, saying that a tower was always part of the original plan.
Stephen Diamond, lawyer for Graywood Developments Ltd., noted that the city's Official Plan designates the property as a "development site" that is therefore "suitable for consideration of alternative forms of development."
