I was expecting parking be outside, open air. How is it going to be ventilated? Would not one get fumes in the apartments?

Lots of buildings have above grade interior parking - Market Wharf on Lower Jarvis is another local example. Usually done because the developer is too mean to dig deeper and/or remove contaminated soil. (The area below "Waste of Time & Space" was capped to prevent pollution migrating into building.) Obviously, as with below grade garages, there are exhaust fans.

Not sure what the square stuff on the parking garage is.

@evandyk @Kama @Undead - Those are ALUMA DEK. They are used for slab formwork. The Aluma Dek® is a modular, panelized decking system that simplifies assembly and shortens production time.

I think we are going to get some new floor poured under our balcony soon, which will really excite the toddler.

I like the contrast!

I was hoping for something close to the Mirvish Village development. The choices on the exterior are disappointing.

There was never any chance of this being anything close to Mirvish Village. The developers had very different aspirations for this site.

To maximize profit with little invested overhead as possible, versus creating a living breathing space that attracts everyone. This project certainly demonstrates the former. /sigh

Not sure the aspirations were totally different. Both wanted to make a decent profit, one decided they could make a bigger one by building a monstrosity that does not suit its neighbourhood and use cheap (or cheap looking) material. Greed!

Awful and cheap looking cladding
Didn't expect anything better but still

not sure if it's still airing but when I was young there was a show on TV called Mighty Machines which (aside from having a killer opening theme song) definitely instilled an interest in construction / machinery in young me. Quality is kind of bad and the content might be a bit dated now but if your young one is into watching construction machines, it's worth throwing on!

I was catching up on this thread and boy did this post ever bring back my childhood damn. Anyway yea this entire development is a disaster imo
