The balconies definitely help though - the contrast is pretty significant, thank God. Went from being hideous to Toronto Classic - just plain old uninspired.

$$$$ I find it hard to reconcile that River City/Canary District exist in the same sphere as this. What happened to standards?

It's remarkable how quickly the area has transformed. In a few years, the historical Regent Park will be but a memory. I feel the same way about the Corktown and Cabbagetown. Completely unrecognizable from 10 years ago or so.

what the fuck? How is that acceptable by any stretch. People paid hundreds of thousands for these units and Great Gulf can't be bothered to accept responsibility because 'well, the whole building is shoddy shit?'. That's totally not ok. They should be sued.

Still not clear on the issue with the interiors at Monde? Are things falling apart or did they cheap out on the features?

This has come together amazingly. It's especially great from the ground

What's the issue with the Monde interiors? Agreed on the Regent Park comment. ..I went by the other day and was pleasantly surprised. It's not great but far more interesting visually. I'm holding my breath and hoping that the balconies save this.

Yeah - a wall of murderous glass

To be fair, warmer weather and the 'Yard' (whenever that's done) will bring in more crowds. I really do hope that they've considered chairs/tables out there. That area is generally fairly dead outside the summer season, and the weather hasn't really been all that great.

Great pic - the east tower starting to look like the renderings

god, this looks so bad

Have people moved in yet? Looks complete but didn't see much activity around there when I went past (2 weeks ago or so)

The DRP presentation is online: https://waterfrontoronto.ca/nbe/wcm/connect/waterfront/13ef5b12-e10d-4377-b11b-a0ce7a715ac2/Feb+20+2019+DRP_162+Queens+Quay+E+Presentation-compressed.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CONVERT_TO=url&CACHEID=13ef5b12-e10d-4377-b11b-a0ce7a715ac2 The proposed height seems totally...

Looks super busy. Hopefully will look better once the fritted balconies are on. Other than that, there's no salvaging it

I think occupancy is now Spring 2020 for the West and Summer/Fall 2020 for the East tower. Not sure if that pushes back the dates for the Yard as well...I believe that was originally slated for Summer 2019.
