I agree. Very disappointing. We need to push for exciting, innovative, and energy-efficient design and oppose more mediocrity. Mediocrity attracts mediocrity and lowers all standards including the people who "buy in" and become our neighbours. The Azul development is a good example. Ask yourself what that development contributed to our neighbourhood. These developments serve as precedents for what is aspired to and allowed going forward. Unless people come out and speak up, we will be forced to accept yet another situation where the Developers (who are only interested in profit) decide how our neigborhoods look and function.

Project to be called Alto.

And to be clear, it does not look anything like the rendering posted above.

That's a relief, looking forward to the actual design.

It's sad to see the architecture decline even further to cheap filler blandness. The previous design was somewhat busy, but more engaging.

25 May 2014: Hipsters will love renting here no doubt. A pity about Team RW losing the condo gig but at least it's not ... you know who.

1544 Dundas was never Richard's project.

^You're right! I just checked my tea leaves and it says "Team Brian"

Ground breaking last month.

Anyone have an update on the rental prices for units in this building or if any retail partners have signed on for the ground level space? This area could use more development so looking forward to seeing this building finally getting done!
