DuEast? What a stupid name! I've never heard a single person in my whole life ever say "I'm going to DuWest". lol It's called "Little Portugal" not DuWest! I agree, let's keep the Regent Park name, shall we.

Sounds like an attempt at gentrification to me.

Isn't it BlogTO that is pathetically trying to make East side/West side a thing? Some weird NYC-envy going on there. Or, just a profound lack of content, so grasping at straws.

Some updates on this project from our front page:

Daniels now plans to build the midrise building as condos, not a co-op:

That's quite the bait and switch.. really doesn't help at all with the affordability of our city.

I suppose if Daniels wasn't obligated / contracted to do a certain type of tenure on this block, business is business and they can do whatever they want, just like any other developer?

Plenty of room for them to build a co-op elsewhere in RP

The financing for the Co-op wasn't able to be put in place in time. It will now be built in block 17s, just across Tubman Street to the east.

I quite like the canopy/portico bits.

The tower seems too overpowering for the site, no?

It's opposite another 29 storey and another 27 storey tower as well.

Here is how Regent Park is shaping up with high rises:
