Southcore is actually a really good (and unique) name for the area.

Yeah, plus its all over new city documents for that area...i doubt it will be changed.

 

[innsertnamehere]

agreed. southcore seems to have stuck with the people as well. I think southcore is here to stay for that area.

Not quite.

This area reminds me of North York--glass & precast everywhere, not so great human scale. So should we call it South York -- SoYo for short?

Given that in built form it isn't/won't be easily differentiated from either Queen's Quay or the Financial District, I don't think it makes sense for it to even have its own name... it's a tiny area, really, centered on Bremner and York. It's just downtown, or the Financial District or "by the ACC" to most people. I don't think it really needs its own informal name. Planners and articles may refer to it as Southcore, but I don't think most people will ever call it that. It's just a small area that blends into numerous existing areas around it... Queen's Quay, Financial District, Entertainment District, Union Station, etc.

Actually don't mind South York UD, but still like Southcore better. Hopefully aA will help beautify the area at least a bit with ICE. While it may not look a whole lot better than NYCC, at least there is a hell of a lot more energy and pedestrian action here than up north even with it only being half way done.

I still think it needs a name of its own, and Southcore works well. Whoever came up with the name clearly thought it through because despite it being a development name, it has struck a chord and has stuck.

I rather the area's name retain some of it's past. Both "rail" and "yard" are trendy as well.

I don't mind Southcore as a name for this area, it describes the location well and is easier to use as opposed to "the railways lands", Union station area, between the tracks and the lake, etc.
