Toronto CityPlace: Montage + Neo (Concord Adex, 47 + 16s, KPMB)

[ProjectEnd]

Some Infiltration Shots

The two explorers who posted their rooftop shots earlier this month inspired me to do some urban-exploration of my own...anyone with a suite here might be interested in these...

Neo mail room

Bridge from Montage to Neo (3rd floor)

Pool in amenity area

Amenity area (facing N1)

Amenity area (facing Spadina)

From the top floor looking up into the elevator mechanical equipment...

The far-more-scary look down...(about 120m and no guardrail - not for the faint of heart, although they would have already died on the climb up)

I suppose you expect us to bail you out when you get busted..... ping pong, croquet and frisbee golf are far less dangerous hobbies.

wow.... very impressive

must have been quite exciting wandering around in there.... not for the faint of heart indeed

Nice shots ProjectEnd! What's your impression of the overall build quality so far?

Actually, I did get busted. On my way out a guard confronted me but I told him that I bought a unit in the building (I hadn't) and we ended up talking for awhile. He seemed like an interesting character with a comprehensive, if self taught, view of architecture and urbanism. We both agreed that while Cityplace does have its flaws, it will probably succeed in the long run.

Seemed pretty solid. I'm not sure what the occupancy dates are, but all suites are fully drywalled and most doors are installed. Bathtubs, toilets, showers and sinks are all installed but none had taps or functioning connections. Kitchens seemed pretty much done except for the missing taps and appliances. No floors have been installed in the halls or the suites - just concrete at this point.

Overall I was impressed. Though some of the suites were excessively small, all seemed to use their space well and nearly all had at least one wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Good views I'm sure! The walls seemed straight and true and doors and handles were a little heavy (read: of good quality).

The architecture on the interior was good and everything had a nice sense of flow. I got a close look at the West One-esque paneling on the side of the tower and the two are pretty similar indicating it isn't just the black base for future brick...

Project End you're tempting me....

Meanwhile, from Queen and Spadina and Baldwin and Spadina, the view changes....as the Sabbath begins....



I wonder what the Spadina Avenue locals think--or do they think???

Painted balconies? A city place first?

actually, no. From what I recall, all CP buildings have painted balconies.

I'm a huge fan of streetwall (especially in areas like Yonge/College) but I wish along this main thoroughfare into the city these buildings had 2, 3 or more setbacks that stepped up to the towers along Spadina. This stretch is just so unwelcoming to me.

And ProjectEnd... nicely done!

lots of great pics rolling in! thanks everyone for your efforts!

So handsome. The "brick" contrasting with the clean lines and the glass just works.

r they going to leave the rusty red balconies on this building? It looks unfinished to me
