It's not saying much, but these are one of Kirkor's better builds. I feel like the firm is finally improving a bit. Far from great, but not terrible.
The condo cluster near Six Points is looking very impressive.
First off, marked by a crane from quite a distance west, the new public plaza that marks Dundas's old northeasterly trajectory where Dundas now turns eastward, and then gradually getting closer along Mabelle, then passing by it, descending the new stairs beside Islington, and ending up across from the subway station.

You're welcome!New stairs to Islington is a huge improvement. Thank Interchange42 for "Before' photo.
There are also these images of the grand staircase area, starting off with the overall site and then a view up the original staircase from Islington Avenue:

This is going to be a major improvement for the entire community: there have got to be over a thousand people who use these stairs every day, an cutting down on the oppressive concrete feel of Islington between the two bridges is a huge bonus to everyone there.

Heh, well, we'd just need to pedestrianize Islington Avenue and install a fountain, gravity-fed by Mimico Creek, turn Aberfoyle Crescent into one of the great shopping streets of the world, put a nunnery or two into remaining surface parking lots on Cordova, and generally improve the local plantings with a couple palms and lots of bougainvillea. There, first step envisioning complete!Etobicoke's Spanish Steps!
