I like how they only built phase 1 in the model. Lots of suckers will think that they will get unobstructed view of the city.

Whats up with this place....its not pretty when mostly everything proposed and built is in the 25 storey range...i much would rather have a bunch of 8-15storey structures wih a couple 40-45 storey point towers in between

I was fearing the same thing.
More similar slab buildings of similar height. LV is just dreadful and depressing, and there is no turning back.
I was hoping something a little different as this is the gateway to LV and on a more significant thoroughfare.

I'm guessing the similar heights reflect some kind of regulatory restriction. 25-storeys is the max the PD will sign off on?
I'm amazed at the amount of development happening in Liberty Village. If... When the downtown relief line is built, that neighborhood could probably use a station or two.

I am amazed by how badly the whole area turned out to be, in contrast to St. Lawrence, Regent Park or WDL.

Well a 49 storey tower is proposed directly across the street at the NE corner of Strachan & Ordnance...

I've never been to Liberty Village. I hear complaints that the site lacks access and that the traffic is horrible. Where else did this development go wrong? Cityplace is not too far away and has also been the subject of much debate. Do Cityplace and LV have similar critiques?
I would like to read up more on LV. Are there any interesting any planning documents, editorials or blog posts on the issues with the community? After tomorrow I'm going to have a little extra time on my hands...
Finally dug up enough renderings to get a dataBase page together for this project, linked above!

The first crane is up here. Has been for about 2 weeks or so.

On the 6th of Aug, they were still working on the hole and had yet to do any forming for the crane, other than the hole for it.
The shoring will only be along the rail corridor, north side and the far east when it gets to the next phase.
