Vaughan Transit City Condos | 176.17m | 55s | CentreCourt | Diamond Schmitt

The fare plan is to continue to charge the double fare from vaughan, even on the subway.

No it's not. There is no plan as of now.

Its largely why the TTC is implementing tap out for the subway system soon

There's no plan to do that either.

The rendering is so inaccurate. It makes it look like KPMG tower is right on Hwy 7, it's not. In its place is the old Future Shop/Home outfitters building.

I agree that the rendering is inaccurate. They drew in this condo project as well as the parking garage and PwC/Library/YMCA building about 25% larger than the surroundings, including the KPMG building, which is much larger.

The rendering shows empty space where the Futureshop building is located. If anything, the KPMG building appears here to be located in the middle of the Futureshop parking lot.

For anyone wondering, the street in the foreground is Portage Parkway. So it is very presumptuous for the developers to give this an address on Highway 7.

I also love how they managed to work in the CN tower and downtown Toronoto off in the distance.

The CN Tower is definitely shown in the wrong spot. It is 25 degrees further left than shown. The rendering's heading is 195 degrees and the field of view, from the photo's left to right edge is about 60 degrees. Here's Google Earth for comparison.

Everytime I notice "Transit City" in the thread title, I have to remind myself that this has no relation to David Miller's transit plan.

At least we know for certain Ford Nationals won't want to live in this condo and that Rob Ford won't be around to know about the existence of this condo.

Based on the render I learned that Vaughn city centre is located at Bathurst and Sheppard.

There will be 2 towers, not one.

That also confirms a height, 169m.

Gotta love the 7-storey above-grade parking structure.

Gotta love the 7-storey above-grade parking structure.

The best part of it is their bs excuse that they couldn't build it below.

The best part of it is their bs excuse that they couldn't build it below.

Real reason is above ground parking costs 1/2 as much as underground.

The garage is also for far more than just the condos, it'll serve as a general public garage as well for visitors and office employees in the new "downtown".

 

[WislaHD]

Well, it looks like a nice looking garage at least?

 

[MisterF]

Not if you are waiting 25 minutes for a train.

edit: @raptor beat me to it.

Seeing as there will be a train every 15 minutes, why would anyone wait 25?

According to the drawings, it looks like the Walmart will be gone (the development will be adjacent to a future Buttermil Ave. extension, which will go over the Walmart building)...
