Does anyone know about the Bloomframe balcony? It looks amazing.

If you use Google you can see that they have website at https://www.bloomframe.com/ but I am not sure it is anything to do with the Well.

The Well is shaping up to be a great place for professional athletes (and many others) to live in.

It's within a stone's throw from the Rogers Centre and a short walk from the Scotiabank Arena, Lamport Stadium, the Coca-Cola Coliseum, and BMO Field.

just curious why Toronto never thought about using such products. Is it not approved. It looks good with clean window wall architecture.

It's a brand new product that has only been installed in one location on the entire planet and is likely prohibitively expensive?

While Toronto balconies are in no way perfect at the moment, the Bloomframe doesn't have any inherent advantages over your typical sliding door and balcony (dumb and reliable).

It's just more moving parts that need to be maintained, and the whole assembly is likely inherently weaker than a normal balcony due to those moving parts.

It could work in a warm and dry Mediterrean climate, but it's likely not worth it for a Toronto-like climate. I would much rather condo developers look into large-format sliding windows that can open up and transform an entire unit into a 'balcony' instead.

Prices launched lower than expected starting at $1205 PSF for 2 Beds. "Low" by current pre-construction standards. Definitely going to sell out of the <$1.5M suites quickly.

Curious what the build quality difference (if any) will be from the residential versus purpose built rental buildings.

Zillions of new (to me) renderings in the Tridel sales brochures. Even more in the PDFs, including lots of the interiors and lobby spaces (http://assets.tridel.com/media-download/tridelatthewell/):

 

[Contra]

This will really transform that Wellington promenade. The Rail Deck park, inversely, will really transform how this building hits Front. Here's hoping that goes ahead to compliment this big build!

I hope Tridel pulls this off to the high standard shown in the renderings. Their track record isn't encouraging.
