Toronto 36 Birch | 17.37m | 4s | North Drive | Richard Wengle

I think these will be quite nice. Appears to be solid construction and good design and materials. At these prices they better be!

 

[Domenico]

Looking good.

 

[TheKingEast]

Coming along nicely. What I like:

- Red brick with black framed winows (always looks good)
- Poured concrete floors and walls.

Looking like a great porject.

This project fits in seamlessly in this neighborhood.

Maybe this isn't the thread, but I'm curious, how are townhouses connected? Obviously they share a wall. However, how do they block impact noise from next door? These are all engineered hardwood/hardwood so how does one block the sound nextdoor from stomping? I know a problem with tonwhouses is hearing people walking on the stairs. Sound transfers right through to the next unit.

These are #3M+ townhouses, surely the builder has made sure this isn't the case in these houses, right?

It’s a reinforced concrete building. Like every other condo building. Not wood townhouses. Does that answer the question?

It's reassuring to have concrete all around between units.

Yes it does. Seeing wood construction townhouses in the burbs for 1.5-2M plus makes me cringe.

This is becoming one of Wengle's better projects, IMO.

Hard to lose with that colour combination.

Just about finished and ready for occupancy. Workers on site today.
