Wow, the tallest at 39 storeys is sure to stir some controversy in this residential neighbourhood

This whole set row of apartments just went through rezoning, this is the first project to come in. I'm not too familiar with the zoning bylaws and if they would allow this type of development however.

The buildings on that stretch are horrible. Good riddance.

The apartment building at the very back, though (which I believe Oscar Peterson lived in), is a fascinatingly primaeval modern thing--like, the apartment-building answer to the old Scientology building on Yonge...

Looks to me like a half decent place to live

Ah.. one of the odd wonders of Toronto... Mimico.

Where dirt cheap rents and slum landlords go hand in hand with gorgeous waterfront properties and downtown views to die for.

Looks pretty good.

Ehh, to my eyes it lacks imagination and style, and it's too big for the local context.

I don't know, the community being replaced is pretty cool with 1940s/1950s lowrises mixed with converted 19th century farm buildings.

Certainly does have an alternative vibe to it:

They are opening up a vista to Lake Ontario and keeping the house and gardens, so that's a plus.

Unlike a lot of the slumlordy shotgun blocks in Mimico, the existing Amedeo complex (whatever the quality of its components) has a fascinatingly shaggy bygone Hollywood noir aura that really has little or no equal in the 416--to see it all gentrified/exterminated means that Toronto loses just a bit more character...

I agree with adma.....not sure this would be so good for the neighbourhood....

While the discussion is on general development in the Humber Shores area, does anyone know what ever happened with the Amedeo Garden Court Redevelopment proposal? (2521-2543 Lake Shore Blvd W, Longo, 9-39s, G+C)?
