Which leads to the question of whether there will be a problem with homeless people given the public park space?

Couldn't agree more. I had a good time and was suficiently stimulated... I think my expectations were well managed. I also didn't experience the commercialism that some spoke of. I did get a free espresso from starbucks though. :)

Sadly never?

Concord did so poorly last year... and now they aren't even ranked??

These are not official renders, but clearly brick is only on the south side of the Montage Tower.

Thanks for the photos casaguy. I think the east side (which those photos show) was never intended to have brick.

If it's similar to the 23rd street version of the Manhattan location, it could be actualy be ok. Not sure about the 3rd ave version though. 23rd st. 3rd ave.

If I'm not mistaken, this would be a south facing render.

I had a great time!! Last year I spent most of my time in Zone B, this year it was Zone A (guess where next year?). Some random pix i took:

Tricky to speculate... but you’ve actually articulated part of my argument. You’re right, I also don’t recall any organized rejection other parties. I’m suggesting that MMP could have motivated parties to take a stronger position on this, with the reward of significant electoral support from the...

Everyone has their own tastes, but I have to say I love the way West One turned out: Neo/Montage are also coming out well. Oh and hey look there's the street car!

It's hard for me to see Cityplace going towards low-income rentals. As someone said, each phase seems to be getting more and more expensive. I had an opportunity to visit the showroom recently, and their phases west of Spadina are definitely moving more and more upscale. The cheapest of...

What are people’s Toronto-specific take on MMP? I personally think that voting for MMP is a no-brainer for big cities in Ontario, especially Toronto. I would argue that the downloading to cities would have never taken place, or at least reduced in scope, if we had MMP. Regional-based voting...

Condo conversion from a church. Can anyone say super creepy?

September 22nd: From east of Spadina (you can see the pool structure framed in the background): The amenity building. I assume the supermarket is just below; I believe the glass squares have been added recently: From the north. In this lighting the cladding closer matches what we...

Has anyone purchased a unit in Parade? At $450 to $490/sqrft. its certainly getting up there in price.

Anyone have a render of the building after approval adjustments?

Thanks for the render. What's the source? Concord? I'm wondering if Douglas Coupland has released any early sketches of the park and whether this render is consistent with it.

I like the building, but I hope it doesn't become a part of Ryerson. Ryerson already has too many 70s era buildings as part of its campus.
