Had a tour of the building a few days ago. The social spaces (see photos below) are nice, if not a bit small for a building of this size. The views from the rooftop space are amazing, but can't really be seen too well from inside the social rooms, there is not nearly as much glass as you may think. There are two randomly placed BBQs outside, nothing more. No photos, but the ground floor has a "Dog run" which is essentially a big empty room with a drain that they said can be your dog's bathroom in the winter. I know it was speculated in here awhile ago that the gym placement could be temporary, but after asking it seems it will be permanent. There's some nice equipment in there, but it's an odd space.

Also - salesperson said there's a chance Tower 2 is shorter than 1, but didn't seem too confident in that guess. Just putting it out there.View attachment 667174View attachment 667175View attachment 667176View attachment 667177

It would be nice to see that foreground parking lot disappear soon…
 
Are the Donair shop and check casher still in operation? One could surmise that the closure of these businesses the quicker the next phase starts

It will be a rental building as well (sadly)

IMO, it is not a bad thing to have some nicer, newer rental buildings which seems to be a more profitable thing these days, but at some point economics and/or preferences will change.

Some of us have been around long enough to remember all the rental building built in the early 1980's here and then the conversions to condos of a number of them in the early to mid 1990's.

Basement dweller here. Can someone please explain how purpose-built rental units are designed differently from condos? I've wondered what it would be like to buy a property built as a "rental" (like in The Parks) but instead of renting it out, you just up and make it your primary residence. I mean, if you don't share any living or kitchen space and have in-suite laundry, what's the difference versus a condo at that point?

This is a good question—I also wonder what exactly a conversion to condos entails. But to be clear (and I'm not sure if this is part of your question or not) you couldn't buy just one unit in The Parks unless it goes condo at some point in the future. In a rental building like The Parks, the whole building is typically owned and managed by one company. In condos, individuals can buy units and either live in them or rent them out.
