How many units were sold tonight at the friends and family party? Thanks to urbanation twitter feed for a fuzzy snap of another rendering.

Very strong podium - but the design looks very stuffy - at the very least they should have attempted to break down the mass of the podium a bit. The "tower" looks rather awkward as well.

The podium looks like a red-brick version of the "EAST lofts" theme.
And that is a very good thing. It looks great!

SPIRE:
Yes, except it's double the length from the looks of it, which makes it look really institutional. I do like the use of red (brick??) though - the area can use a bit of warmth in the materials.
What would be really nice would be if they could alternate materials/colours and design details along the facade and chop the block down into 3 or 4 distinct "blocks" - think Amsterdam row houses.

I hope most of the units face north. So that is the rendering for the 16 +10 storey build I assume? Where is the 22 storey building going, just to the west?

Doubtful - I don't think any of the development sites include the Gardiner ROW.

stunnaman ... to confirm, no Onni will not be building under the Gardiner ROW
there will be 3 towers on Block 6 ... 2 south of Gardiner and 1 north of the Gardiner as shown in Archivist's post below

A military inspired design would have been fun!

Block 8 is the old Loblaws warehouse and there are lots of rumours (which never go anywhere!) that they are finally going to fix up the warehouse (it's historic), open a supermarket there and build a tower on top. There's a thread on it - somewhere.

Ah, I remember now, thanks!
That would make the other blocks to the south ... West Harbour... so on, those are all complete / under construction now?
