This has become Leslieville's version of 895 Bloor St W. Shoddy mish-mash of materials, and left in a perpetual state of incompletion.

And fan-favourite 221 Roxton Road.

It's hard to believe so much could go so wrong in one relatively simple, small-scale project.

Whoa, they are already painting the peeling siding only after a few months of installation?!!!
This building is so underwhelming, I can’t believe Quadrangle designed this (or maybe they were just hired to do the working drawings). It looks like an aging utility building.

I see this stinky carbuncle practically every day. It's unimaginably bad. Had they mastered the cladding it would still look like a spartan econobox of a building, but at least it would have been a tidy one.

I guess you're not supposed to use hardwood flooring as exterior siding!

I don't believe Quadrangle are in charge of this current design. They were the previous architect of record for the original concept that is shown in the UT database profile. What we're seeing here is likely just some amateur level no name firm, and being executed by an equally inept builder.
