Toronto Fuse & Fuse2 Condos | 80.16m | 27s | Neudorfer | Barrett

Gotta say that the opening of the Food Basics (and lesser extent, SDM), has had a really positive impact on this intersection. I've dropped by a couple times in recent weeks for groceries while I'm in the area, and the Lansdowne/Dupont intersection definitely seems more livelier on the weekends. Pedestrian traffic from each direction appears to be at a much higher rate than before.

I just wish that the courtyard between the two towers wasn't so execrably ugly. It's terrible, all hard materials, bereft of nature. Argh, awful!

(Sorry, having a flashback.)

Yeah, it's mind-bendingly, hard to understand how bad it is bad. How did this get Site Plan Approval?

Nice summer landscaping along the back of the townhomes.

The retail unit beside Balzac's is preparing to open soon, Century Park Tavern.

Nice - that should bring some much needed life to this dead area.

I've been living in this area for over a year now, and it's the first time I've seen an office space for lease sign on this former warehouse building. It was also the former sales centre facility for the townhouse developments, but looks to be well underused for a while now.

The upcoming Century Park Tavern is by the same group behind the Love Chix restaurant along Dupont in the Junction Triangle:

These are not Fuse. They're part of the multi-phase townhouse development north of the tracks.
