Getting a preview of your unit?

You bet! Was able to slide open the door and snap a few... not allowed outside yet.

Looking good! Looking forward to moving in to Clear Spirit the first weekend in February. Should be a breath of fresh air in comparison to condo life in North York.

That little pub you see in the bottom left of the picture? Nice little tucked away place. But it's not better than Bellissimos, just further east on the Esplanade. Great little neighborhood joint. Lots of memories. Ahh.

The weather forcast is looking like low rise with scattered skyscrapers, with a high of 136m, or 40 floors.

Thanks for that perspective, JZ. Pure Spirit looks quite striking and defined now with the balconies clad.

Today:

am I the only one who thinks that the gooderham has really snuck up without anyone noticing? it seems like just yesterday that it was sitting at 3 floor tall.

 

[AndreaPalladio]

No, I think the same thing every time I see it. It's like the fastest construction job ever.

 

[urbandreamer]

Now I almost wish 3 more towers were coming. The DD really needs around 5000 local residents to make it viable year round.

Well there will be in the surrounding area soon enough.

 

[egotrippin]

Seriously, what exactly do you mean by "viable"? The place is pretty busy almost every day of the week, and most of the businesses there have managed to stay afloat (despite many being overpriced, targeting a more limited clientèle). Besides, with all the new construction surrounding the DD, those 5000 new residents will be here soon enough.

 

[taal]

So true regarding the overpriced part ... well sorry I shouldn't say that ... out of my price range (and typical Toronto's residents price range I imagine ; - ).

Rents are not astronomical either I hear (for rents), commercial (i.e. office use not retail) space is pretty hot their too !
