My friend bought in N1 and he did his PDI inspection yesterday. I got some photos that I'll try post this week.

And back to today, as I trundled home on the Spadina car. Cityplace:
Behold, streetwall:
Cityplace (Luna?) rises on the north side of Bremner now
Bremner will be a new artery soon
Looking south

From PCL website:
"As of June 11, 2007 To date, 52% of the suites have been certified as deficiency-free as testing of mechanical and electrical systems continues. The large public art piece between Building O and Tower PP has been erected and other smaller art pieces are being placed around the project. The courtyard landscaping is being completed and the lobbies of each of building are presently undergoing their inspections for deficiencies."

The 'Gallery' part of the development is certainly a disappointment. I can see what they were going for - ultra-clean horizontal lines as a dominant element - but with that oatmeal-coloured precast and lack of detailing (or decoration?), it somehow ended up looking like a suburban 1970's minor office.
I haven't been around the rest of the base lately, so I'm not sure how it has all worked out. The two towers, though, are looking mighty fine. The townhomes, too, are quite handsome, and a big improvement over their counterparts over at Harbour View Estates.

From August the 3rd
New Stair, detail from Spadina. Opposite across Spadina from access stairs at HVE. Like them , it rises from the sidewalk to the drive-in courtyard that services the tower, complete with complimentary public art.
Streetscape...! Forming. Looking north up Spadina.
A bit o' applied art at the base of the tower....
Still rather rough at the bottom. A way to go before that linear park is all installed....
Between amenities and the Gardiner....
Creeping around unadmitted, looking up....
Around back....
A real pleasure to see this: looking into the drive in courtyard at WestOne, across Spadina to it's mirror image at HVE...very urban, outsize, impressive.
Townhomes to the left of me...
Townhomes to the right of me....(with a touch of decor)
Into the courtyard...
Amenities at the south end
Back of townhomes (south) from courtyard
Back of (north) townhomes....
Tower base at courtyard
Top of stairs, looking across Spadina at HVE.

*speechless*... AMAZING update. I absolutely love those little Dutch-looking townhouses. And truly shows that Cityplace is improving as it goes west. Awesome update, once again-- Thanks!

I agree. The townhomes and public art are great.
Does anyone know if the concrete section half way up West One will be covered?

WOW! Im actually impressed!
I really love the look of the wood and glass, and it seems to be used throughout the podium. The public art looks great and there also seems to be lots of green space around. A+ for streetscape!

But still...compared to Vancouver the details--totally lacking.
Disappointing--even my rental neighbourhood has higher quality finishes and landscaping.

^ Not finished yet.
HVE is looking really good now that they have pretty much finished. And this is more than a year and a half since people started moving in so give it time for this phase.

So far is looking good. With well renown KPMB architects heading the Neo and Montage project, the west side of Spadina is going to look awesome!

CN - great photos and many thanks.
And yes, those townhouses look great and are light years better than the ones at Harbour Estate.
