Toronto Solaris at Metrogate Condos | ?m | 40s | Tridel | Graziani + Corazza COMPLETE

If Sufferance is a dead-end street, couldn't they build a new road over the 401 or somewhere else so that there's more than one access point?
 
^ Probably not over- the 401 is built on higher ground on this stretch. A tunnel perhaps... direct access to the back door of AMC cinemas!
 
Or they can extend Sufferance to Midland, and presto, access to the Umbra HQ...
 
I believe adma's right, that there's long term plans to connect Sufferance with Emblem (and from there to Midland).
 
Tridel appears to have updated their website for Metrogate with some new info posted below:

SOLARIS:
The Excitement is Building!

With over 1000 homeowners interested in our new METROGATE neighbourhood the excitement is building towards the introduction of our first residential community Solaris – a pair of clean, elegant and simply beautiful elliptical towers that make an impressive and distinct architectural statement.

Soaring 40 storeys high, Solaris is designed by architects Graziani and Corazza with contemporary forms and the latest in sustainable “green†technology in harmony with the classical and essential elements of residential home design. The first phase of your community will not only create a superb high-rise living environment but will also be the beginning of a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented neighbourhood.

From the towers’ 4-storey masonry podium to their beautiful glass façade, the architecture of Solaris will set the tone for the future residential communities that will follow to complete this extraordinary neighbourhood.

I hope both towers won't be the same height, other then that it seems promising. This area could turn out better the MCC IMO due to the fact it has direct access to the TTC.
 
masonry podium? sounds really good. Hopefully they wont have the same designs for the other condos, otherwise this might end up looking like a string of 360 copies.
 
Here's a good rendering from the Condo Guide of the two tallest towers of Metrogate. The first phase, Solaris will be 40 storeys tall. Scarborough seems to be getting a great influx of new of curved glass point towers (Ellipse, 360, and now this).

methinks this will play well with ellipse across the 401 and east a bit...

... until the other condos in the project are built.
 
These will be good for SCC but I'm not at all sold on the architecture. The ground level/podium doesn't appear to work with the towers though not necessarly bad on it's own.
