Entertainment District/Queen St 11/03/05, 11/04/05

I have two friends that live at 50 Stephanie Street in the same unit seperated by about 20 floors. I happened to have my camera with me so I snapped a few pics last night and this morning.

The Phoebe

The crane and site for (169?) John Street

^ And that's when the acid kicked in!

For a big, superblock development, the Phoebe seems to work.

Good God... those are gorgeous. West side baby! Best part of town.

I also had a friend that lived in that unit a few years ago (give or take a few floors). Is Hudson topped out now?

What good pictures! Thank you.

The building at 18 Beverley Street (east side of the Phoebe development, visible in the 1st and 4th pictures) is close to being the nicest in the city in my opinion. The brick portion with the old-fashioned bay windows is very attractive.

This pic really shows how successful Phoebe is in fitting in with its Queen West neighbours. I wish we had more developments like it.

Those are great shots, especially the night ones.

Agreed! Two very minor problems with it I have are:

1. The Soho St side should have been closer to the street. That strip of grass looks a wee bit suburban and will never be used for anything anyway.

2. The beautiful square / park in the middle of the development could have been a bit more "public" in nature.

Yeah, the Phoebe is my favourite recent infill lowrise and a beautiful addition to the area.

Beautiful! thanks for sharing!

I love how the area has transformed itself into the entertainment district. The energy at night is spectacular.

Being a 905er, I love the ritual drive up Spadina Ave in a car filled with friends to kick start the weekend partying!

Great pics!

The Beverley/Pheobe are great...they just need to do something about the hallway wallpaper :b
