Toronto Lakeside Residences | 158m | 49s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

Noticed this weekend that Greenland have got a few A-frame signs out for Lakeside - they may actually be starting to market it more aggressively.
Interesting. You would think that Greenland would have the resources to market this with much ease to East Asian markets.
 
There are 2 towers; one of them is sold out except for a couple of undesirable units.

I heard that Greenland is marketing to non-Asian markets in Canada. I am not really sure what that will achieve though.

Does anyone know when construction is suppose to begin? I feel like this one is taking forever to get off the ground and they have resorted to heavy incentives for the second tower (just 10% down, etc.).
 
Moving on.... coming to TEYCC in May

I don't mind the south-facing design of the east tower, but, man, there are large expanses of each building that are essentially devoid of design.
 
I won't give this a free pass just because it's HP but thinking the rather bland white renders may not speak to final materials used (place UT laughter here______).

As for the rather monolithic built form, I'm liking some heft anchoring east bayfront... if it turns out ok may be a nice (second) exclamation point in a neighbourhood full of mixed-results mid-rises.
 
Design of these condos is most important to people buying the buildings and units across the street from the condo. Those "buyers" (not of the condo but the random buildings nearby) are, after all, the people who will be looking at it...

W/D, appliances are good quality for this one though. So that's a plus.
