The building in white above are what ? Not planned yet. Also where is the housing going for the athletes, not the canary district condos I believe, but others that will be converted / sold afterwords ?
 
Three cranes are up now for the construction of the George Brown College student residence; YMCA, and Canary District condo building on the north side of Front Street East.

this area will become a literal sea of condos in the next 3 years. I am guessing that there will be 10-15 cranes!
 
Sea of apartment buildings.


Canary District is on the south side. The other crane is for non-market towers.

This district needs more colour and better integrated mechanical boxes but it's coming together nicely. There many creative details to the individual buildings.
 
27 July 2014: I may be the only one on UT that loves the green mechPH. I detest the grey spandrel but don't mind the charcoal brick and overall "design." It needs funky magenta pink street furniture/benches and of course, thousands of cute condo kids.

Wow a lot of redeeming qualities here ! Particularly from the street facing front, very impressed !
 
Looks good, very Euopean!

No rusting hydro poles, no wood poles with staples all over, no hydro wires, no patched up sidewalks. Refreshing...
