Windemere By The Lake
Couldn't find an existing thread for this.
Technically, this neighbourhood by Cresford Developments is still under construction.
BELOW: Map of just the townhomes west of the tower. (I did not venture into here).
At first I hated this development. Now, I'm so so on it.
BELOW: What's always bothered me is the tower. I think it is the definition of bland.
BELOW: I know it doesn't deserve to be photographed next to this fantastic bridge, but I couldn't resist.
BELOW: Such a suburban feel... And somehow, just not "right" to sit at the base of High Park.
BELOW: That old pet peeve: Unpainted concrete on the base of balconies.
Maybe if the concrete were in fact painted something other than grey it might give some life to this drab tower.
BELOW: I do have to give them credit for the greenery. (The Queensway side is quite nicely landscaped. And everything looks healthy!)
BELOW: Bonus points for this density right next to the Queensway Streetcar. I wonder what percentage actually take it downtown?
BELOW: In the end, the tower is kinda reminiscent of the CityPlace monotony.
