Toronto West Village Etobicoke | ?m | 31s | Tridel | Rafael + Bigauskas

[ProjectEnd]

Tridel is partners with Evral. Architect is still Rafael and Bigauskas as it has been since the beginning.

I'm expressing the utter hatred which I harbor towards this terrible, terrible firm.

Ooo my bad ... I knew there's a general negative sentiment against Kirkor, but I didn't realise there was a thing about Rafael and Bigauskas ~

I guess there is now a project name for this site: "Life in Etobicoke"

Probably because the prospect of living in a place as bland as western Etobicoke doesn't exactly inspire lineups at the sales office

If they actually make it look like a village, it will be a hit.

Two thumbs up for the streetwall right along the West Mall, which will hopefully contain retail. Otherwise, the towers are meh. But it just goes to show just how shitty Etobicoke's skyline is when even bland towers like these stand out as the most attractive buildings in the view.

 

[Solaris]

from what I understand ... the West Village development will not have any street frontage on The West Mall, 2 existing apartments are located to the west of the project site which fronts on The West Mall

Hmm, pretending to be in Yorkville?

 

[Ramako]

You know a building's made it when they start building cheap rip-offs in the suburbs.

 

[Solaris]
