Truly love everything about this project! Wish I had been in a position to purchase a unit when it launched. Was fortunate enough to be in such a position when 123 Portland came around. Looking forward to everything this will add to the neighbourhood.

The new but old warehouse style triangular windows are very nice and look pretty cool in person too. This building has great presence at street level I think it's going to feel very good when it's done and really tie together the whole neighbourhood from King up to Queen.

This building doesn't get the same love as CIBC Square or The Well but it's such a great development. Combination of residences, a community centre, a market place and a nice park! Seems like a home run.

I agree that this is one of the more interesting developments going up right now -- and I'm looking forward to seeing the black porcelain cladding on the upper levels. I hope it's executed well!

Am a little bit tentative about this project given DSAI's residential track record and that the massing is a bit overbearing.

But holding out hope! I agree that the rejuvenated complex will be of great benefit to the surrounding city.

Their track record of working with developers who have value engineered the projects to death? Has MOD Developments shown a tendency to work that way?

I am greatly looking forward to this one, especially with the food hall. (Obviously post-crisis.)

TBH all of the recent proposals in the area are pretty great (simple in many cases but that isn't a bad thing)

This, ACE, 543 Richmond, 123 Portland, 445 Adelaide, Rush, 135 Portland and the Magna hotels are all great fabric buildings that are helping to connect Queen West and King West. The area is going to have a really interesting character once everything is completed.

I feel like this area is going to feel very manhattenish afterwards, with the tall but not skyscraper buildings pushing out more or less directly to the street line and tall streetwalls, all framing the park. Going to feel very different in 5 years, for sure.
