hum..

not so much as an infill as a spillover, then.
too bad they didn't reference the tidy harmony of the new townhouses to the east,
which would have provided a smoother, more harmonious segue into the traditional neighbourhood.
I think that's why the bylaw was drafted in the first place, surely?
 
I imagine this one will clear no problem. "6.7 meters over the maximum allowed"... I can spit farther.

It's kind of difficult to tell what this is really going to look like by the elevations. Certainly it'll be better and more "open" than the garbage that's there now.
 
Ha, ha!
You do sound like the chap that could expectorate quite far.
But suggest you do it outside the niagara neighbourhood.
I remember it well.
Nice people there. Nice friendly community. What about them?
What about things the relationship to neighbouring residences, what about the
condo conformity versus the individuality that makes this neighbourhood a litlte charmer.
This intended plan doesn't seem to consider anything other than squeezing out maximum density
from the site and establishing a precedent to further hack away at this little community.

Sounds like the block bounded by King, John, Mercer and Blue Jays Way. Now that's squeezing out the maximum density.

no, this project is located on the quiet side of King West: west of Bathurst, across the street from the coffin factory lofts.
Interesting building -- it's looks like a hybrid of one condo level pancaked between two townhouse levels.

Kind of funny, that expression. Not like it's going to say "Rural condos for urban living." Spectacularly empty slogan! Hope the place is finessed with more imagination than the marketing.
 
Haha, well you could look at it as Fieldgate's way of saying that they are building a condo...in Toronto...I believe their first one. They built townhouses recently called Corktown Mews, their first project downtown, but otherwise they build primarily in the suburbs (Brampton, Mississauga, Milton, Markham, etc.) They are decent with quality, so I'm expecting something very good here. It would be kind of cool to face the Coffin Factory lofts :cool:
 
They are involved with Greenpark Homes at Axiom on Adelaide St E, but I suppose this is their first going it alone. Mean they have a development application in on St. Clair West in joint venture with Madison Homes.

Maybe not, that property is being redeveloped with two towers added reaching 15 and 19 stories each. Luckily the existing 4-5 storey brick heritage buildings (The Coffin Factory) along Niagara will be retained which commercial and live/work lofts are being proposed on the ground floor.
