^ I''l have to get back to you on that one Marcus, I was in a rush to get back home to make myself dinner. I'll pass by again tonight.

what sort of progress has been made at the 'Red' site (if any)?

The site is partially dug up, but not too much progress since the last photo update me thinks.

I'll see if I have time this weekend to take a photo of Red.

T² - what sort of progress has been made at the 'Red' site (if any)?
Thanks for the photos

Is Red on the same site as Equinox? I assume on the right and behind...
9/19

or is it on the left?

^ Red is going to be in the second pic.

Great update. Thanks! Good to know you have access to the office building to get these perspective shots.

Hello Everyone,

Construction is suppose to commence on the RED condo site sometime next year. I bought a unit one year ago. My occupancy date is December 2010.

wow each one is uglier than the previous.

as much as I hate those pale-aqua coloured spandrel panels, EQ2 doesn't look all that bad IMO, the curved roof at the top certainly added interest to me

I Disagree, they certainly aren’t anything special. But they are an improvement over the previous two buildings.
Now those two are fugly.

Agreed... they definitely haven't aged well in their short life.

Let's hope SCC can step it up and require better designs in the future. Ellipse was a huge leap, but nothing since has quite measured up.

I actually prefer the older Equinox towers to the new one. The two towers stand well enough apart to be appreciated individually, while EQ and Red stand too close to each other- together, they look like one giant, green-glass monster.

I definitely agree with you wylie on the part about the EQ1+EQ2+Red complex being too close (more like jammed) together ~

Would you expect more from a developer?

 

[Solaris]

well yes I understand builder's profit factor, but in this instance Monarch jammed the towers so close together its unreal ... if you compare this to downtown TO projects this site is still really tight ... you've gotta see it in person to be truly amazed
