I gotta say, seeing intensification in Meadowvale makes me happy. It's such a nice area, and with plenty of amenities that'd make it perfect for more density.

How is this neighbourhood midrise? It's decidedly been a lowrise area with a collection of highrise structures for over 50 years now. It'll continue to be as much...but slowly more high density development is occuring, which is a good thing. Being so close to two subway stations, which are...

Or Fennel. Or...celery.

I'm glad to hear it. It's been a long time coming, and will really help connect the area better.

Apologies, I'd say up to the future roadway (I keep forgetting Webb Drive will someday be extended), and yes, into the school land. I don't know where it starts from the wooded patch adjacent to the park, it's a buffer zone of sorts at the moment. (seemingly)

I took this yesterday from Rathburn,

I agree...it's tiny. They really shouldve expanded it a couple years ago IMO.

I took this from Rathburn yesterday. The building certainly adds more good texture to the skyline, it's a good contrast from the more monotomous glass/spandrel clad structures we've seen going up in recemt years. I just wish one of these buildings would hsve retail.

Now that's what I call humour! Anyways, I'm more concerned by the front hapf of this in terms of how it'll engage the surrounding area...the south elevations really do line up well with nearby structures which is a pleasant rarity these days.

That's why I look forward to this project being completed. It'll be an innovative, efficient means of housing hundreds of families. /s bah, I can't even find a way to be sarcastic about this project. It's such a poorly designed building through and through.

It reminds me of the expansion of the Lucliffe building...I'm not impressed.

It's a pretty ugly pattern, but it could be worse. I'm more concerned by street level design here considering the towers are just a straight, massive vertical massing.

Wow, that's an ugly reclad. The building looks significantly more cheap and "contemporary" with that masonry gone.

Thank goodness too. The condition of the road and nearby infrastructure is awful.

I wouldn't say this is a positive contribution to the skyline...except perhaps if you wanted to isolate the neighbourhood as its own skyline. I'm not surprised with how this project is turning out, but it just makes me disappointed to see this behemoth rise. It reminds me of the project "Home"...

That's a bit optimistic. Well, the first part. There's a lot of empty units these days in this investor driven market...either due to people wanting it empty, or to rent out for income, or something else. I mean, there'll be over 1500 people most likely in this bunker...but I'm not convinced...

Yeah...two of the stores are still open. I pass by the site daily, and they're both doing well. I really dont look forward to this crap going up...but it's inevitable with this area.

I fully agree. Now this side will look like an even more vertical suburb next to Sugar Beach and a couple office buildings.

Wow...that's terrible. Mostly the unit sizes. We really need to build bigger units to support families, who are largely prices out of other options.

The sidewalks should be wider on this stretch or they should've minimized the plantings...those take up too much space on the sidewalk. The details are lacking and the building feels very bland and 2 dimensional whenever I pass by, the street level doesnt help. But...it's good to see more...
