Well, I have to say it - this project flat out sucks. Pity, because it's really urbanized a former barren greenfield at a major intersection.

are you being sarcastic? This project gives me hope that the Downsview parc PLan, and the Lawrence redevelopment doesnt need to end up being Ghetto...

Ya, I don't quite understand this comment either. Your reaction is opposite of mine. I'm pleasantly surprised at how they're turning out. The design is looking pretty good for a suburban tower, and it's exciting to see some urban life being brought to this area.

I drive by this area often. The brown glass is interesting, it sometimes seems very dark/grayish because of utter lack of anything in the near vicinity (but crappy roads), but as a first step, this is great. Hope more will be built along both Sheppard and Allen.

Looks like this complex's exterior (green space, parking, driveways, etc.) are a month or so away from completion

m3 should start occupying in the next week or so...

any word on the last 2 buildings that are suppose to be destined for this site. Also any word on the idomo building? Is it actually going to become a office or will it to become a condo?

 

[TwoDogs_39]

There is some crazy ass construction going on at the Idomo site. The back/side has basically been ripped open, and it looks like they're building an addition or something. I have no idea what they're doing!

So this is what it looks like, all finished, with a number of empty retail spaces still, mostly facing Sheppard, earlier today:

Are these objects the public art contribution?

Dufferin retail spaces seem to be full.
