Marlin Spring really is a firm that's inspired by trash.

I can honestly say this is in the Top 10 of worst designed builds i've ever seen in my life.
 
Even Scarborough Town Centre had some buildings that were just as bad or a tad better than this in the early condo boom!
 
Yep, Marlin has Sprung again!! Too bad we don't have cure for that! /bleh

Arcadis very likely could've come up with something better but Marlin Spring's initiatives for aesthetics here appear substantially low.

You have to be careful with Arcadis - some of their architects are capable of good things. Some, not so much.

This one is also definitely on Marlin Spring too, though.
 
I just can't get over the proposed density to get too deep into the awful design. This will contribute greatly to packing rail transit if that is the end goal. For how many future residents is this their dream home?

I think it's been said before, that these are for buyers getting into the condo market as a starting point...they're not going to really care what the building they're living in looks like or its quality. And MSD is mostly likely aware of that. So effectively if they where landlords, they would be slum. /sigh
 
Foreign students that come here filling our universities, hospitals, and entry level jobs don't care. Everyone else does care about living space, functionality such as sufficient elevators and a local community justifying high density, high rise living. People having to settle for housing and communities that aren't to expectations will lower Toronto as an attractive place to resettle. That is concerning since reat estate is dominant force in Toronto's economy.
