The previous renderings had very little surrounding context which was deceiving as one could easily assume the development was directly on the water with unobstructed views. It has been a hard sell for GG as the $750 to low-$800/sq.ft. pricing was very precocious as it is not on the water, the...

Your comments could apply to many other condos in the city and there are some condos that are much worse than Concord. Do you have any specific experiences you care to elaborate on? Did you purchase at Cityplace?

I totally agree with you. The L-tower looks great from a distance due to its shear height and dynamic bulging and pointed massing, but up close the glazing detailing is lackluster and rather clumsy. Where as Market Wharf has some incredibly composed forms and massing when seen up close and is...

Nice to see GG is now using an interior design firm other than Simone Cicconi. Charlie condos has been a major let down.

I accidently came across their website today and noticed this: Too bad the actual building is nowhere as elegant and polished as the render.

It's a political move to help get this 60-storey condo approved. All condo developments should be making bigger contributions to the city as their developments adds a huge strain on local infrastructure such as utilities and transit. Public art is a common contribution by developers as it adds...

It seems like the best selling developments are along the Yonge Street subway line, which is somewhat understandable but I think it is overrated. The selling prices are in the upper $600 to mid-$700 per sq.ft. which I think is over priced, but to the investor with these long completion dates and...

^^^ I agree. The pattern repeats every 6 rows, creating a not so appealing wallpaper pattern that would age quickly. I prefer a purely randomized pattern with a couple more shades of grey.

Even with a hot rental market, it would take much longer for a developer to make their profit and it's harder to get a construction loan for it. That is where investors come in, though I'm not sure if larger higher-end condos end up being rented out than flipped like small 1-bedroom units...

jeez, that 2-bedroom option is really depressing! It's sacrificing light and views of a prime corner window of the main living space to accommodate an impractical and ridiculous 2nd bedroom. The 1-bedroom plan is much better -- I would have a nice sofa bed in the living room instead. Reducing...

Gorgeous photos, Bruvyman!

The tunnel could be bored larger still. The steel support beam above it is more than twice as wide as the tunnel you see now. So the residents of the L-tower won't have parking until the basement levels at Backstage are finished?

Watching Three's Company of yore, I always thought it would be great to have a neighbourhood tavern just downstairs from where you live. It would be awesome to recreate a kitchy retro hangout like the Regal Beagle!

Quite possibly the most beautiful garage door in the city. I could see why BL drives his Rolls or Mercedes a couple blocks just to get to his office. I highly doubt there's no garbage chutes in this building. I can't imagine people schlepping thier stinky and sometimes leaky garbage bags...

I hope Canoe Landing Restaurant gets their liquor license. The area needs a good restaurant and this is a great location for it. The Fox and Fiddle pub is just down the street and has a large patio. I don't know what kind of restaurant Canoe Landing will be, but I can't imagine it to be a...

Looks like this development swallows up Front Street to the east as Front St terminates at Bathurst and becomes an underground ramp, not a very pleasant way to terminate a street. I also would love to see the extension of Front St along with a pedestrian linear park along the tracks like at...

True. But I have seen some terraces that has been decked over with teak or ipe which looks really nice and very comfortable to walk on. Developers will not do this as it expensive and time consuming and will cost more to maintain. Stained or coloured concrete pavers so that it looks more...

Anyone have photos of the lobby? I am curious to see. I am not a big fan of the lobby at X as the lighting looks flat and the furniture and decor accessories doesn't quit complement the Mies-like building and lobby volume.

That's funny, a Nissan Cube appropriately parked in front of Cube Lofts.

Hoarding is starting to come down. Most of the new sidewalk has been poured, though I didn't see any openings for trees or planters. Looking good so far.
