You mean the Queensway, or Mississauga if you do mean Dundas, but yeah, you're right on the money, it's the same aesthetic.

I wonder why any developer/architect would use stucco over precast (as both provide pretty much the same lousy aesthetic effect). Is one cheaper than the other? I would think that precast would be much more durable (and would not need either repaiting or reapplying after 20 years or so).
The developer will be long gone when the exterior needs to be redone here. The low prices for the units here definitely reflected the cost of land across from St. Jamestown, but they may also reflect the quality of the work being done.
People buying here were not being sold by the top-notch finishes, it was the rock-bottom prices that did it.

stucco is cheaper...but not as cheap as that ugly metal siding on that building to the south.

This would actually probably be a reasonably attractive building if just left like this:
The stucco doodads are gonna be brutal.

As brutal as it clearly is, I would take a unit here over the wind tunnels at Shi**yPlace in a heartbeat. This area borders Cabbagetown and Rosedale and is a brisk jog to Yonge Street. Shi**yPlace truly is a modern ghetto.

The pale red building behind is brutal.
Ironically, Alanis, purchasers of south-facing units in the brutal Scar of Dntn will be staring out their windows at that brutal pale-red beast. It doesn't always pay to be looking out of the ugliest building on the block...

Maybe we've been too hard on this one... It's really not THAT awful... Much better than everything else right across the street from it.

I agree it looks nice but that's only because it doesn't have the cladding yet. Too bad it can't stay as is.
