Oh..I guess they are doing it ass backwards..usually with all developments fronting the tracks they build the wall/barrier first. To me it looks like the TCHC building is already being built.
And yes, i hope no gravy is thrown around on this.
 
Doesn't look like the development is fronting the tracks. There is a pile of earth between the tracks and the development. Im assuming the TCHC building has less parking than Cityplace buildings, so there is no need to build a wall along the rail line. The wall you see along the rail line separates the parking lots from the rail line.

I'm starting to realize that this block (parade 1 and 2) is more dense (# of residents) than the harbourview estates block... and i'm not entirely sure what to make of it... if it's good thing or not or both :confused:

you are right and to me it all ends up looking rather forced and overbearing...

regarding the railway barrier wall, I guess we'll have to wait and see. I was under the impression that it would be continued all the way along to Bathurst St. That seems to make sense from a safety/security point of view as well as an aesthetics point of view. Guess we'll keep watching...

That's 5 floors in a month for the cylinder.

I still have high hopes for this project in terms of awe factor since its just so massive, and the sky-bridge, but I'm also starting to see that it is overbearing, heavy-looking, and has an institutional feel.

At this pace they will be topping it off by the end of October in which i think Quartz will be breaking ground with its twin just to the north in sales mode.:)

They're going to build two of those wet sacks? There goes the theory that CityPlace gets better going west.
