I really like it, too...I think it has some nice height to it.
Hopefully we get some quality retail at the base. More restaurants would be nice. Dundas b/w Bay and University has seen an increase in pedestrian activity in recent years with all these new eateries opening.
I think it is a great addition to the Yonge/Dundas area.
Plus it is a rental. Last time I checked, there are very few rental apartments in the area. Would provide options for hundreds of professionals and probably students who work and study in downtown. How cool is it to live at Bay/Dundas.
I wish that Concert had some sort of program like this too. I've tried to do it with Daniels, but they never call me back.This is also a perfect way for developers to expand their portfolio rather than just build condo apts for sale. Daniels offers a program for renters to save a certain amount from their rent towards a down-payment on a Daniels project. Minto does the same. I'm sure there are more...but it's a great program...and builds lifetime clients.
Speaking of restaurants, there are plans to open the first Denny's in Toronto next to this building at 123 Dundas Street West. Some people will probably say "Ugh, another chain restaurant" but I've always loved Denny's in the US!Recently quite a few new restaurant opened on Dundas between Bay and University. A few between Yonge and Church as well.
Dundas street deserves better restaurant scene being close to everything and I am glad it is gradually happening. There are still quite a few really bad ones and I hope their days are numbered.

I always saw Denny's as catering to a more suburban crowd, so I'm not sure what the reception here would be like. Although I must say their 24/7 service would provide an alternative to those old Chinese restaurants on this strip. I still prefer the Lakeview Diner as my favorite late night haunt though.
It's Chinatown, so there's Chinese food restaurants there and some of them have been around for a while likely for good reason.
