^ good point.

Since the Don will actually wiggle past a new island before greeting the lake (the harbour to be accurate), I propose a project re-branding of "North of Villiers". Not a gauche derivative name like so many condos here... and imagine the head-scratching: "Ou est this Villiers?".
 
Since the Don River flows into Lake Ontario shouldn't this be called the RightBank?
But the development is to the left of the Don River, so it's one of those rare cases where the development name actually makes sense.

Not that it really matters, they could name this development "twinkle twinkle little star" for all we care and it would still sell out. Residential developers in Toronto can get away with non-sense that developers in other North American cities cannot.
 
That podium is a bit discombobulating though...

LeftBank in Toronto

LeftBank, a 34-storey, 385-unit condo at 91 River St. near Dundas Street East in the eastern part of downtown Toronto overlooking the Don River, was designed by IBI Group and The Patton Design Studio.

While the specific suite mix, size and price ranges haven’t yet been disclosed, LeftBank will include studio, one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units.

---------

LeftBank will feature a linear park on its south side leading to the river and a nearby network of walking trails. River Street will be reimagined and animated with boutique shops facing widened, tree-lined sidewalks.

The walkable neighbourhood is already served by public transit, which will be further enhanced by the future East Harbour transit hub.

Sales for LeftBank will launch this fall. Broccolini would like to start construction early in 2021 and he anticipates a three-and-a-half-year build.
