Yup, I walked by the other day and it still looks like an abandoned retail space. It’s sad that almost nine years since this was built no real restaurant has ever opened here yet.

It’s interesting that they moved the sales centre to this vacated old realty office space a few doors south. They have been operating in this space quietly for quite a while now (I have seen signs outside last year), but hasn’t launched sales to the public yet. The former Football Factory...

You can install some heavy drapes that block out the light when sleeping. I like to have two sets of window coverings, a sheer (about 5% openness) to allow light during the day but diffuse direct sunlight while still having privacy, and light blocking window shades or curtains for sleep. Even...

Measure once, cut twice (or more)…🙄

I thought the Eye shut down more than 10 years ago. Scary to think there is another local media outlet out there like BlogTO with just as poor journalism and writing. At least the Eye doesn’t allow comments and spam left by ignorant and stupid readers. TikTockers and other young so-called...

Though less than half of the retail spaces have opened, I was surprised that many of the ones that are open look surprisingly unfinished, just products in a shell of a retail space provided to them with little to no interior finishing or improvements (walls not painted, bare concrete flooring...

There is less terracing and step backs on the south side of the building so that side of the building is more uniform and repetitive compared to the other sides of the building. The building is more dynamic when viewed from King Street where the terracing is more varied and starting on lower levels.

From last weekend:

That means I will have a 1,400 sq.ft. terrace?! Al fresco living!

Latest update: occupancy is now March 2024. Almost there! (I think)

when did that happen? I live a block away and could see the building from my terrace but I never noticed a fire happening there.

even the coloured solid panels on the tower are so muted it’s almost pointless. It’s looking like dusty rose.

I have been very happy so far with my purchase here and looking forward to completion. Your comments did not mention specifics and seem to be grossly out of context — also having posted just once here in a pointless rant says a lot too. I work in the architecture/construction/real estate...

I did mentioned that a couple of pages back. The fifth floor of the east mountain contains most of the amenity spaces. The pool/spa is located at the prow of the east mountain at the building opening between the east and north mountains, where Brant Street terminates at King. The original design...

In the latest notice I received from WestBank was that my new tentative occupancy will be extended to September 26, 2024 (was May 1 of this year). Though construction is moving along very nicely, with the complexity of the construction and detailing and that 70% of the units are unique I expect...

this is a soft loft, as opposed to hard or authentic loft. It’s not a real building conversion as nothing other than a small portion of an exterior brick wall was reclaimed.

That kitchen mock-up is showing the full-sized 5-burner cooktop from penthouse kitchen. Studio and 1-bedroom units will have a compact 24” appliances while the 2- and 3-bedroom units will have 30” appliances. Units larger than a 1-bedroom will have an over-sized 36” hood fan (vs. 24”) regardless...
