But are you actually basing that on anything or was it a joke as I supect.

I do see it quite often and to me it has great potential. None of the building are all that great on their own but they're pretty nice overall (quite a bit of attention to detail). But the potential lies in the density / BRT / retail / central square ... so on so forth.


btw - you should see the new Viva bus stops ... it looks like a prison :) - they're huge!
 
It was a joke, but I do find the townhouses to be horrendous. Not only is each townhouse block fugly, it's repeated over and over and over again. The other buildings are ok, but that's pushing it.

There's potential in the overall development, but I am skeptical of it being built by one developer/builder. It will be interesting to see how they pull off the central square / "Main Street" with retail and other uses.
 
Is this proposal dead dead? East of Warden on HWY 7 is already claimed by the uninspiring Times condos (rivara?). this plot is like the last frontier in this particular stretch that hasn't been touched yet. Interested to know what it might be?
 
It looked like they put topsoil by the new sidewalk and now vegetation is growing.

the new soil and grass has nothing to do with the owner/developer here, those works are part of the Region's program to complete the VIVA transitway along Highway 7

I was able to find the forum that already existed for these lands https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...tyn-dev-13-2-x-15-16s-hca-architecture.12207/ - In 2011, Stonebridge sold this portion of their large plot of land (Which seems that they sold all of it at this point - with 100 Clegg being owned by New World Centre developments. This portion was bought by Jason Kaptyn Hospitality, which seems to have connections with Topfar, here: https://markham.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Shortlist/index.html?appid=691f92c442b64655985b3c8dc9a7d2fc However, I was not able to find new documents that have Topfar listed anywhere, and only has Brivia listed as a developer here. Topfar can very well be apart of it, considering that the massing, the block layout, and the amount of floors that the image portrays above seem to be consistent with what the newest proposal and re-zoning applications have to say.
 
Based on the documents, it looks like Lemay is the architect here. Will be interesting to see how this progresses. The Brivia Group look to be more established in the Montreal condo market, with several relatively large projects in the works over there.

Thanks for doing all that investigating! I've combined the two threads, and we'll make whatever changes as needed as we learn more!
