lol dude it looks fantastic. Not every building needs to be some faux historic try hard.

I went to the meeting for this way back, glad to see it's finally moving forward. Dundurn really needs to be more built up with shops (could be a second Locke). Amusingly one of the nimby complaints was that an apartment building didn't fit in with the neighbourhood character, this complaint was made from someone living in the adjacent apartment building.
I hope they added more family sized units as I pointed out in the meeting, this is a very desirable area for families.

Dundurn could definitely use a revitalization. I also feel like it has the bones to become similar to Locke, and it's relative proximity to MIP would place it in a great location when (if) MIP fully gets built out (such as the proposed residentials buildings).

Considering 99% of what is built are rectangles that are all glass or punched in windows with picture frame elements - I'll stick to griping lol - besides every forum needs a traditionalist lol
And I'm not against modern - I love some of the modern builds in toronto - I'm just against pure boxes. Add some curves - some fancy glass, some cool patterning.
Also let's be honest - the majority of all "historic" builds are faux, even going back to the roman era - rubble of brick and stone with plaster on top to give shape to pillars etc. Calling it faux is disingenuous - it's just historic. "Traditional" or "period" if you need to call it something. Look at the Royal Connaught - its a steel frame with stone and brick facing it - none of it is structural.

Beautiful! This is designed to be a retirement residence, building on the current facility, correct?
