Why is this district even called "Southcore"? Who named it that? Last I heard, it was called the Railway Lands. Has it officially been changed or has somebody just taken the liberty to change it themselves? I would have hoped for something a bit more interesting or distinctive to Toronto. Southcore sounds so generic. At least the Railway Lands refers to something like the Roundhouse, which has some relevance to the past and the present. I think a neighbourhood name change is in order.

Southcore is the name that the developer of 18 York, Bremner Tower and the Delta Hotel gave to their three tower complex. Some have independently decided to apply that name to all the Railyway Lands.

So a developer named it? Well, no wonder it's so lame! In that case, let's just call it "The Rogers District" since they'll soon own both ends of it. Hell, let's just let all developers name all our neighbourhoods and save ourselves the trouble. I'd love to live in "The Star Of Downtown District".

Here are the Google Earth renders after adjusting the heights of the Delta and Bremner towers...

Some of us like the Southcore moniker. Personally I think "Railway lands" sounds more generic.

I hope not..if its anything as silly as most of the new park names i will bury myself under a rock...Southcore is OK and sounds good to me.

south of the financial core.

Makes sense to me.

 

[sodapop]

me too, i've never had a problem with the name, it works quite well

Cool renders above; it's interesting to see that a few years ago, Infinity was ahead of the times for developing those lands, and soon it's going to be completely dwarfed and out of scale to the new development. Crazy how fast it's changed down there.

Wow - very impressive renders wyliepoon - if you are the person who did these, you are very talented indeed. Thanks for a glimpse of the future.

^ I didn't do 'all' the buildings. The other building models came from Google Earth's 3D buildings layer (to which I did contribute some buildings).

How about "Boxcore"? Considering that there will soon be 4 giant boxes on a short stretch of Bremner...
