Toronto West Block Est. 1928, The LakeShore, and The LakeFront | 130.75m | 41s | Choice Properties | a—A

[Case]

Maybe the buildings arent the prettiest in the city, but the whole development there is a great addition to the area. This area is past due to be developed given its location on Lake Shore and Bathurst.

The whole development, including the office space, restaurants, other commercial stores, and the under the Gardiner shops including LCBO is an excellent addition to that area.

I didn’t say I like them. I would dislike them MORE if they were grey.

This is BAD. Concord has no shame.

 

[LostAlbertan]

I'm surprised Concord even hangs their name off this building.

Oh this is pretty bad.

Why be surprised though? Clearly they're proud with the garbage they put up time and time again.

The problem is this was allowed to get built as is. When you see great designs get cut down, how does crap like this get built?

Yes, this building does look like cheap crap but buildings like this will keep on being built if people actually buy units in them. Development is a business and if they can't sell a certain kind of building (a crap one) they will stop proposing them.

The problem is renderings are deceiving and the contracts give themselves a ton of leeway to change designs.

This is going to look like absolute hell in five years when the grime starts running down under the windows.

Couldn't they just pay window cleaners to clean the spandrel glass along with the windows during their regular window-cleaning process?

Yes, renderings are never 100% accurate and maintenance can be hard to do or simply not done BUT if buyers paid some attention to the portfolio of 'their developer' they would get a very good idea as to how their possible home would turn out. Caveat emptor is VERY true and buyers need to research their developer, look at their older projects and not buy based on glossy renderings.

At this point buyers are just buying what they can afford. Concord really markets their product to investors, not so much end users.

Which is unfortunate, because it's the end users who will get sticked years down the road when all the cheap window wall panels start to fail and will end up needing replacement.
