Beautiful day and saw a beautiful monarch in the park.

The butterfly is a metaphor for the area's metamorphosis from a lowly derelict industrial area to an attractive contemporary urban neighbourhood.

I agree. I went for a bike ride and had a coffee down there and loved it. It is coming along beautifully with many people and their kids in the park. The new Blvd will be even better when the empty lots are built and have more homes. It feels very livable.

I believe the base of the Canary Commons condo has been designed to attract the neighbourhood grocery store; there's a lot more room there.

As an overly excited RC3 owner, I walk through the area all the time on weekends and I've noticed there could be some serious room for growth on the East side of River St. North of Queen, there is pretty much nothing going on – besides those car dealerships further in– up until Gerrard. I wonder if they have any plans for that amazing untouched stretch, lots of potential!

Thanks! Looks like there's an interesting building planned for the East side of the street at Labatt Ave. River definitely needs some more stores to accommodate the huge influx of people who are moving into these condos over the next two years, really exciting area!

I want to see aluminum cladding so bad it hurts.

It's fascinating seeing all those midrise and low towers in the east end. It's not a kind of urban fabric we're very familiar with in Toronto. I hope these neighbourhoods mature into interesting urban places with street life, local businesses, and community events.
