can't believe how long it been since I shot any M city towers and only a couple long distance shots. Then I have shot very little this year due the bitter coldness. Wind is play a lot in getting the steel work in place.

Yeah, me too. I haven't flown since January 10th as it has been too rainy, snowy, cold or windy on the days that I was available.

This whole development just doesn't do it for me. Yes, I like the height and scale, but it just seems they are "trying to hard" with the designs. Not sure it will age well.

I don’t mind the designs, but my biggest issues are with the podium scaling and how the streets are laid out. The height of the towers is really nice, but everything around M1/M2/M3 is spread out just a bit too much, especially compared to the PSV development across Burnhamthorpe.

Yes the difference between park side village is night in day when it comes to street layout, scale and proper street frontage. No matter where you are on the MCity site you always feel like you’re somehow in the back of house for the building. Even where the futur park is. Parkside village on the other hand did an excellent job in my opinion

It's too big for its own site somehow. Like...everything is grand scaled, but it somehow just feels to crammed in for the design ethos they're working off of.
It's going to be a huge traffic magnet due to how poor transit connections are going to be in the future, and how this development is forced to act as a connector for various roadways in the area.(GO transit at Cooksville/Milton Line is woefully underutilized still, but, hopefully that'll change in a generation)
I just really duslike the whole site plan in general - it's really not conductive to a community setting and everythung feels sonewhat disconnected from adjacent uses and infrastructure.

The only thing that I can think of that would somewhat redeem this site is running curbside or median bus lanes between Erindale GO to wherever the HuLRT loop ends up (Confederation/Living Arts/Duke of York). Taking Burnhamthorpe down to 2 lanes of car traffic E/W is needed to make the pedestrian experience on the sidewalks here a bit less awful.

A few shots from my site visit last week including the town-homes at the ground level.
