Kiss and Ride alone would create traffic disaster at that intersection. The more logical amenity for connecting to the GO station is either a enclosed walkway that would go above Dundas West and connect to the TTC station. Or a new TTC entrance on the east side of Dundas West. Dundas West &...

Went to sales centre. They confirmed the change in height of building from 10 floors to 8 floors. Many of the top floor plans (larger units) are being modified to accommodate the reduction in # of units. Also talk of changing to Geothermal.

I like how they only built phase 1 in the model. Lots of suckers will think that they will get unobstructed view of the city.

Four Seasons from across the Humber Bay. (Taken by the Humber River Bridge).

Also very impressive from DVP south bound. Sorry, no pic as I had my hands on steering wheel. :)

Really handsome building indeed. A very rare case where the actual building looks far superior to the rendering. Surrounding area is still a bit of a dead zone, though.

Absolutely agree. The city should not tear down sports facilities to build parks. The tennis community was sacrificed when the beloved Waterside Tennis Club was demolished to make way for the Queen's Quay E George Brown College. Instead of allowing the club to operate somewhere else in the...

It would have made more sense from a long term urban planning perspective if they were to move all the existing Stockyard big boxes to this development. Then redevelop the existing Stockyard big box plaza into an urban condo/work/retail development. But no matter what they do (even with that...

The building looked great until they slapped on the bricks.... makes the whole thing super heavy (from the west when driving down King). Especially when contrasting the one across the train track.

I am wondering if they would do anything about that gigantic cell tower right next to the south side of the building... I think the owners of the lake facing units are in for a huge shock!

I have to say this is my favourite Cityplace building. Gorgeous. Too bad about the ground floor units facing Lakeshore Blvd, though... yes... For those who are following the West Harbour City thread, I am harping on this again!

HK has its own problem architectures/planning too. The ruthless developers there are favouring the 'Barrier' build form. Imagine ten 50 storeys towers linked together forming a barrier blocking the sea. They also favour monstrous podium as they are not included in the calculation of the...

Why is LV selling? All you need to do is hang around LV on a saturday afternoon and assess the attractiveness of the general population. Unfortunately, attractiveness does not translate to good architecture...

Compared to the LV buildings, the ones on WQW actually look ok from south of King. They might look hideous from Queens though.

I meant the Live/Work units. You are right about Fleet Street. But Fleet street is really just an expansion of the LSB without any kind of real barriers between Fleet and LSB other than the streetcar track. Would be a different story if they are willing to narrow LSB and plant some tree...

They look a lot less like the gates of Mordor now. Just a curious question: why town homes with street entrance fronting Lakeshore Blvd? Who really wants to step out of their unit and face the busy Lakeshore traffic without any kind of landscaping/barrier in front? And what about the...
