Actually, I would have liked to see more mixed-used development as well. Since there is going to be such a big population moving into this planned community, it would've been nice to see some more shops being incorporated into the layout but so far, all I see is Spot and starbucks. Not exactly...

well, i guess when i win the lottery or strike it rich, i won't have to disappoint TheKingEast and can stop being a selfish a** "who couldn't give a ****" by moving into super-awesome chic condos that will win international awards and be the gem of Toronto's skyline!! I will never again then be...

Very true. Although I imagine the situation will be somewhat similar to the Bayview/Sheppard Daniel's condos such as Rean Dr., Barberry Pl. and Kenaston Gardens. I have talked to friends and relatives who have lived there for awhile and they have told me getting out of the small streets and...

I think the lamp posts have always there been there. If you look at the picture with Canadian Tire in it, you see the same type of lamp posts on the other side of the street as well. Although, you are right. They do seem a little bit odd when pitted against the building. I guess they just...

Not to mention that since not everybody is going to be getting a parking spot, all the existing spots are most likely going to be filled leading to a very packed garage.

And you say I am the one that's defensive? LOL. Not only did I "AGREE" with what you said about ParkPlace, I am not the one resulting to petty insults such as going around calling people "idiots" and "dumb". Perhaps you should re-read some of your posts to see who the defensive one is.

And your critique of "bland" is so epically wonderful I am left speechless. Bravo TheKingEast, bravo. And besides, I never claimed I was critiquing the building. I was merely providing a rebuttal as to people would want to buy a "bland" building but it seems not only can YOU not critique...

There are many factors to a good design as opposed to just looking nice. The most important aspect when designing should always be about what your target market would want because ultimately, you are trying to sell them something. If you build this marvellous building but its priced out of...

Agreed. The VIP discounts from previous events are most certainly not going to be there any more and in regards to quality, I am hoping that they have learned to do better since CityPlace. Though I am feeling optimistic since I haven't heard too many complaints in regards to the newer condos...

sigh... this is why I asked you if you knew what "despite" meant. "Despite" ParkPlace being unpleasing to the eye, people still bought it. Why? Because it's close to highway. Because it has a good price. And mostly for me, because it was close to the subway which I use a lot. Therefore...

hahaha....i DO think its funny because YOU can't seem to get over the fact that i actually AGREE with you that it is a bland glass box. My POINT to this discussion is that DESPITE (you do know what that means right?) is that while it is not the most attractive building, there are redeeming...

I never said they looked better some of the buildings at CityPlace and neither did sixrings. What we did acknowledge however was that DESPITE being bland, people will still buy the condos because they are willing to sacrifice good design for good price and good location. In addition, I was...

There's many projects completed or will be completed along the sheppard corridor such Merci, Shane Baghai, Aria, Emerald City, Arc, 21 and 23 Clairtrell, plus some of the older (but still relatively new) Daniels buildings such as 18 Kenaston and 17 Barberry as well. Although if you specifically...

That was your original post and my reply was that despite the bland design, which I do acknowledge, we see an almost unbeatable location at a very reasonable price. AMEN sixrings. =)

Like CasssiuX and I mentioned in our (very recent) posts if you had bothered to read them, almost unbeatable location at a very reasonable price.

Really? I had thought that their track record actually improved as CityPlace got to the latter phases since many many people complained about the quality of the initial CityPlace buildings but not as much as more buildings went up.

To be honest with you, it's definitely not the nicest looking buildings in Toronto but with that being said, it's also not the ugliest. In addition, to move into this area along sheppard corridor, there were simply no other new condos that were that close to subway stations that were available...

if you dont mind me asking, are you in the upper or lower floors??

regarding the underground tunnel, it seems like CanTire abandonded plans to build at leslie/sheppard location, judging from the discussion taking place over at that thread...

Yea, I am talking about Discovery 2. Correct me if i'm wrong but don't they usually have to finish amenities before they allow you to move it? If that is the case, I guess they are going to finish all the amenities + Discovery 1 before they allow you to move in but Discovery 2 will still be in...
