Looks like this new "park" is a temporary measure knowing how long the process will be for consultations, designs and approvals. Likely paid for by the builder as an indirect measure to help with appeal for the area (knowing the situation with pre-construction sales).

Sorry if missed, but wasn't there going to be a 3-4 story water fountain here? Pics from the Farm Boy :)

Agreed, it's HORRIBLE up close and even worse on the inside. The stories of rats, bed bugs, elevator issues, and so on is insane. They've also not registered and looks like it might not happen any time soon.

Sorry for the grainy pictures, but nice to see their green roof is ready for spring - including the vine system which will take over the entire mechanical. Will this be our first green mechanical in TO?

DSC, there's no official renderings or plans for the park yet, correct? I think I remember seeing a rough vision, but it hasn't gone through the city?

I was just trying to understand your POV. This response really reminds me why I took a break from this forum for a few years.

Thanks for clarifying, but how does this comment connect to rich people with multiple properties? "Cuz the moment I see bikes and rusting bbq’s from Canadian Tire in those balconies…." Just trying to understand your point. You do know that most will likely be full-time residents with only a...

I find this comment a bit confusing and somewhat offensive, as it seems to assume that anyone who isn’t a “rich minimalist” lacks taste or doesn’t respect their space. There have been no clutter issues at Aqualina, Aquavista, or Aquabella—all of which have clear glass balconies (and include...

I really hope they're planning on closing down the surface parking lot when this new community starts moving in. It looks like this might happen from the initial renders?

I have friends dealing with similar issues, as are most of the residents from what I hear. My friend showed me their Facebook page and FB chat threads, it's insane how bad the building is in its construction quality and customer care. The fact that it's also one condo corporation, for 1,600+...

I heard they are now closing Spring 2025.

Monde might have started occupancy in 2018 but it was officially registered in 2019. Management can help you with proof of registration or you can look it up online :)

Loving how the light hits this one.

let’s move on……

I'm going to wait until these are further down the road to judge. Initially, I wasn't a fan of phase 1, but my mind changed and think these are one of the most striking towers to meet the skyline (esp. from the island). Fingers crossed for a lovely surprise in 2-3 years.

Sorry if that's how you interpreted my thoughts, but that definitely wasn't the point I was making. I think we should move on from this.

I am simply speaking from my own experiences and trying to show an angle from another perspective. In the end of the day, if someone doesn’t like the minimal and small kitchens offered here, they’re not being forced to buy here.

Materials and general design look very promising.

I totally agree with all your points, but the issue I see isn't just about cheap materials, it's how they chose to execute them. The overall design could have been so much better, all without spending an extra dollar. There are hundreds of cheaper projects, but they've at least been thoughtful...
