Toronto The Heathview | 108.81m | 30s | Morguard Corporation | P + S / IBI

I agree. There exists a blight that is uglier than the 530.

lol. The sad thing is that that corner could've had a nice flat-iron building, one of the few opportunities for those in our city. They should at least put some patio furniture & a coffee shop on that corner.

Oh well maybe it'll be improved in the future.
 
Oh shit, that's a whole nother story...

I know someone who lives in this, and he says it was designed by an architect from communist Hungary.
 
One of the dominant architectural styles in our city unfortunately:

The "commie block" or "le corbusier block"
On the plus side, it does provide affordable & dense housing. There are large concentrations in higher end neighbourhoods like Yonge & Eg and High Park as well. Some of them aren't too bad. The Uno Prii ones can be nice.

This is my favourite one:

They painted one near Wellesley & Jarvis with a phoenix mural, it looks pretty good.

I actually quite like these. A rare example of nice international-style architecture, just 3 blocks from the Stalinist Block at Vaughn and Bathurst.

Those look great.

I like these ones too. They don't even look that old.

They look good in white. It might look nicer if they painted the brown ones white. There are so many of these along the Don Valley, you can see them towering over the ravine trail. In general these buildings could probably look better if they were maintained & cleaned better.

Earlier this evening, Morguard held a preview event for the Heathview. It was a mob scene. I got in far enough to talk to a rep, but there was no point in taking pics inside. We'll catch up with this complex soon.

Say what you want the colours work here better then most !
 
Those are going to be unbelievable south-facing living spaces for those with the double-height penthouses.
