Thanks a lot for those pictures Urban dreamer! :)


Just glanced over Park Lake's website and it seems as if they updated the suite availability list. The Ontario's are sold out. I'm betting quite a few investors purchased some of them.
 
Shot as I was passing Sunday May 31. I have some shots from Sat on a machine that is down at this time.

June 12

Took the rare train to Burlington from Toronto for a meeting and back. Was trying to get shots on both sides in this area.

Coming back, took a video of the southside.

Thanks very much Drum! I especially enjoyed seeing the video.


Did anyone see that they started placing the windows on the 5th floor of the west tower? :D Can't wait to see it progress even further.
 
Apologies to the folks who bought here, but...

When I first saw how they were treating the base with that walmart-white colour I had a feeling this project was going to turn out blah at best.

Now that I see the window treatment. Ugh. The "elegance" that the original render implied will not be found here. Such a shame this will be so dominating next to the lake. Just my opinion.

I agree the base is hideous ... but I've seen this one in person, the tower portion actually looks alright, not sure why its bugging you so much.
 
I DO like those floor-to-ceiling windows ... I'm sure purchasers would love that too (overlooking the lake)
 
Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I urge you to wait to judge until the building is complete. Is it the most beautiful and elegant building? No, but it's quite a lovely building that will add further beauty to the area. To compare with Windermere by the lake, Park Lake looks fresher. I happen to like the white podium material. It's better than brick, in my humble opinion.
 
Are they adding floors to this one? I drive by it everyday and noticed that despite being around 18s right now they've significantly jacked the crane on the one tower, enough to go another 8-10 storeys by the looks of it
 
More photos

These were taken last Friday while I was walking along the lake. I do like the way they look.

It's very possible that I've been jaded by the render. I've been seeing the render (which Josef is using as his avatar) for more than 3 years now and was expecting something in reality to at least hint at a shimmer... or at least hint at high-end... or use larger pieces of reflective glass without all the mullions.

I was misled by the marketing. In reality it will just be another mediocre Toronto condo building.

I do, however, also love the floor to ceiling windows.
