Vaughan was the "City above Toronto" until both Markham and Richmond Hill incorporated themselves as cities, which meant that Vaughan was no longer the only city in York Region. To be fair, unlike Markham nor Richmond Hill, Vaughan has two-and-a-half subway stations.

Vaughan stopped using that term back in 2010, well before Markham and Richmond Hill became "cities"

it looks like the designer tried to do a parametric type of design without really knowing how to do anything parametric.

Wondering if the fenced off area between Commerce and Commerce (who named the streets up here?) fits into this thread.

I don't know. I just don't love the trendy designs I guess, but this does nothing for me. Maybe in the built version, if it goes this way, it will be more appealing.

A new mixed-use neighbourhood is rising at Vaughan Metropolitan Centre

Festival is the latest entry into exploding 905-area downtown development.

New Toronto Star article on the VMC. A bit of a fluff piece, but features master plan renderings for Quadreals lands (south of hwy 7). First I've seen of these.

It looks like all of the former AMC complex including all the ancillary restaurants will be demolished for new development?

The TRCA headquarters and Courtyard Marriott are still there in the rendering as well.

 

[Undead]

Is there any high density office space planned here? (other than the new KPMG building)

Just looking at the rendering, those shorter oval shaped buildings along the 400 sort of look like office blocks.

Looking at the photos up above. This should have been Vaughan's downtown core area. Being located between two highways and two major arterial roads. Creating a miniature central park style settings in the middle. With condo and office towers flanking around it. Buffering the park from traffic noise etc.
