Re: retail, I may know more in the coming weeks. Per a converation with one of the site managers the next phase, to the south (across the street), will be two 40-50s towers similar to One Park Tower. If I rememeber correctly, there will be more retail along Living Arts Drive but I will know more shortly.
 
...."will be two 40-50s towers similar to One Park Tower...."? Really? I thought there will be 2 short condo buildings of about the same heights as the 2 new Limelights. Remember also that pointy castle-like roofs will create the illusion that the buildings are that much higher (of about 5 storeys or so).

Two 40-50s towers will be way too high. That's going to definitely block all of the upper penthouses' views from "back here" (i.e., from Chicago or One Park Tower or Limelights). Don't forget each floor has a $1G increment while the top 2 floors have a $10G increment each (i.e., to be on the subpenthouse level you'd have to pay an extra $10G and then to be on the upper penthouse level you'd have to pay yet another $10G premium). Here's a metaphor for you, it's like in the movie theatre, the tall ones should sit at the back while the short ones at the front. It doesn't make any logical sense for it to be the other way around.

That was according to one of the site managers, we'll see.

Limelight, the retail units are fairly large, the corner unit is the best

Townhomes do not belong on the main streets of a downtown or a city centre.

Sounds very doctrinaire - almost like urban scripture. Why do you feel this way? Must main streets be nothing but commercial or towering residential? What's wrong with some variety to break up the streetscape?
 
As for the retail component, a bank, don't know which one, is moving in along with a Spin Cafe. I believe this is their website. This should be a hit with the college crowd. http://spindessert.com/

There are about 10 retail units.

I saw a couple units - nice. The amenities including the podium rooftop gardens and patios are something else. There is a full size basketball court good for ball hockey as well - sweet!

People are starting to move in.
 
Yes, I was onsite today and saw the basketball court - amazing, this is a full size court, with a wood floor looking very shiny at this point...

There is occupancy at both towers already...
 
Limelight Amenities

Moved in last week. The amenities officially opened this weekend. Schedule for activities in the gym include Basketball, Volleyball, Badminton, Floor Hockey, Yoga, Pilates, and Zumba.

Amazing facilities!! :D

When are they going to turn on the "lime lights" on the rooftops?

....Don't forget the rooftop lime lights are the main attractions of these 2 new condos!

Limelight has a great podium facade with the irregular grid of small black panels and bold white and lime green accents. It's a playful but precisely detailed look that's rather appealing. The retail units look to have satisfyingly high ceilings, impressive glazing, and some vertical lines of spandrel for accentuation. The towers are elegantly scaled and accentuated with varied vertical lines, but it's the organic ornamentation at the penthouse level that I await. It looks quite interesting in the renderings.
