Toronto CityPlace: Montage + Neo (Concord Adex, 47 + 16s, KPMB)

[Redroom Studios]

I see investor/realestatejunkie is back

wasnt he also vultur? Surely this guy must have a background in the performing arts... quickly switching costumes and personas... well, I guess the personas need a bit of work. The acting is a bit see through...

 

[ProjectEnd]

I agree, the Skydome is a nice piece of nostalgia from the last time Toronto went through an expansion phase.

MoreMies: less boring, predictable sarcasm and more convincing, contemplative arguments.

 

[ganjavih]

Anyway he is clearly breaking the rules by signing up under a different name. How about another ban?

And how about preventing him from reappearing under different guises over and over again?

 

[urbandreamer]

MoreMies is hilarious: he keeps posting in the same old threads: Cityplace/Malibu/1blooreast?/real estate. Too funny.

Who is this guy?

 

[adma]

Actually, it's only now that I noticed (going back in the thread) that investor was marked, "banned". And now, this MiesO'Horny character's "banned", too.

Wonder if it's as simple as behaviour on the board, or some behind-the-scenes PMs/moderator harassment as well...

 

[casaguy]

So very cold and foreboding...

Those accounts were probably posting from the same IP.

Anyone know what's going on with the strange, empty, vertical concrete "notch" on Montage's west edge (top half)? This tower seems to be taking on a life way beyond it's original promise/render.

 

[ProjectEnd]

Perhaps there are renderings which we haven't yet seen?

I think that's moreso the fault of the snow. Throw in some nice trees and women in short skirts and you'll have a different picture.

^Actually, I thought the cold snow was the warmest part of the pics.

But in an attempt to say something positive about CP, I do have to admit I kinda like the vertical striped effect they're trying out with the Montage glass.

Some of you guys really really really try hard to trash CP any chance you get. It was amusing at first now but its just boring.

The picture looks cold because we are in the middle of winter and its overcast. Even the metallic flaked orange paint of that Honda Fit in your picture looks "cold".

 

[grey]

RedRaptor, they're referring to the monotonous, uninviting dark gray cladding that makes it look like a commie block.

edit: and lack of decent retail at street level.

 

[Hypnotoad]

That first picture is telling - the street wall is nonexistant in this neighbourhood. I know the bus-bay for the Jays game is not part of CP and is hands-off for development, but I think developing low-rise storefronts/work-live units along this stretch would go along way to diversifying the area and adding some street retail and lowrise diversity.

I admit it would be extremely atypical to build such structures like houses with ground-floor retail in this area...

 

[Conrad Black]

There were plans to put city housing on that lot where the buses park. Not sure what happened to that idea.
