OMG you guys, who cares. You're arguing on the internet about someones opinion about what Canada's most famous neighbourhood is. Does it really matter?

Agreed Kristopher. This type of argument arises often whenever remarks about something grandiose, or other, in Toronto are made, - not sure this happens in Montreal. Alas, faded glory is just another thing Montreal's got over the upstart.

 

[freshcutgrass]

A bit of a moot point for a couple of reasons...

I don't consider 42 Charles to be in what I would consider "Yorkville" anyway. It just happens to fall within the south-western borders of the expanded Bloor-Yorkville BIA. In spirit, this area belongs more to the Church/Gay Village nabe.

Yorkville is not akin to Westmount at all. Westmount is large, wealthy residential neighbourhood in the same vein as Forest Hill or Rosedale. Yorkville is a small enclave that has transitioned over its life, due to its proximity to the downtown core. It is (now) primarily a luxury commercial district...not a residential one (although recent condo additions have made it more mixed-use in this sense).

I think of the Deer Park zone as being more Westmount-esque.

Hahaha...56 storeys is not good enough... Whats up, the tower fantasizers arent coming out of the closet lol

 

[caltrane74]

Yeah I guess the three other towers that came out last week with confirmation were bigger draws at 2 and 5 meters taller.

You know you're spoiled when everyone in a city goes "Meh" at a 56 floor condo.

 

[Bruvyman]

Meh

It's become the new standard I guess... Anything less than 40 in downtown is now completely unacceptable, haha.

 

[Towered]

It's true, I was actually disappointed when I read that it went from 64 floors to a "mere" 56, which hilariously would still make it one of the tallest condo proposals in the city, haha!
