I would not want to live in the homes along Charles Street East with all this highrise infill being constructed

...unless I was planning on selling to a developer when the market rebounds.

Time for an X update. 4th floor should be complete this week

Thanks for the update. Looks like the podium has 1 or 2 more floors to go.

I don't think there are any homes on Charles E. between Jarvis & Church, just a rooming house. The two homes in the background are coming down eventually for Great Gulf Homes tower 2 and then there's the Gerstein Centre which looks like a house.

March 28 2009 update

oops, dt_toronto_geek beat me to it ~

North Elevation

North East Corner

from my visit to the sales office, Great Gulf is now offering a free locker and $20,000 off the purchase price ... the sales person anticipates the builder to introduce 'additional incentives' later this week on the remaining units to finish up the project

as for phase 2, the sales person said that while there is no confirmed timing yet, but they fully expect it to be launched sometime in Fall 2009

Core sampling was done last summer. I doubt anything will happen here for several years now.

Here's the thread for this project -

Scaled Model

South East Elevation

North West Elevation

Garden @ North West Corner of Site - so this is what will be behind the houses west of X

 

[kennyx]

I dont suppose anyone here has pics of the model suite? (back in the old sales office... the new one doesnt have a model suite).

 

[ProjectEnd]

Wow, that north-west corner looks pretty terrible without a column extending to the ground. Much more Ernst & Young than TD Center, it seems...

 

[Redroom Studios]

yes, that detail caught my eye as well. It seems that it was a design choice to build it that way though... oops.

comparing that scaled model to what is being built on site ... I think that missing 'fourth' column is either:

• an accidentally missed detail; or
• scaled model was broken/damaged

 

[Ramako]

The render seems to indicate that the south west corner will have a column. It would be an odd choice to arbitrarily exclude one.

columns

I could confirm that the model is actually infact just broken, i have an earlier picture of the scale model with the columns intact. Also, the site plans have the column on there as well

 

[Design Wallah]

that is indeed one bland and undistinguished looking building. i'm surprised 44 floor of people would buy into it.

 

[khris]

Bland? It's one of the nicest towers to be built in Toronto! It's simplistic design is what makes it so great.
