Mississauga 180 Burnhamthorpe Road West | 230.15m | 71s | Emblem Developments | Arcadis

this has to be in the top 10 bait and switches in GTA history. what are they thinking, building these monstrosities?
It’s on the consumer not to buy. But personally I like boxes. Everything fits nicely. Curved walls like absolute towers look great from the outside but try to put a couch on a wall on the inside. It isn’t as easy. Out of curiosity I was looking at a few units in M1 and M2. Triangle rooms. You have to be kidding me. That’s a disaster.
