Sweet, thanks for the pic. This development, along with the its little park, will do wonders for this derelict part of Yorkville.

Thanks for the birds-eye views. This will be a good addition to the Yonge-Bloor neighbourhood. I look forward to seeing it built.

North Yorkville is going to really be looking up in a few years, between this, 4 Seasons and hopefully a good development at the Inifiniti dealership site. Hopefully some decent streetscaping to bring things in line with the rest of the area will follow.

The evolution of Yorkville continues: from small village, to bohemian hippy enclave, to yuppy stomping ground, to what is also now a very luxe residential neighbourhood. Definately one of the more interesting neighbourhoods in the city!

I was just walking past the Hazelton and I've gone back to my original position: I don't really like it. The materials are lovely so far, and it's a perfect style of building for countless sites around the city, but I still think that this building looms over the neighbourhood far too much, and contributes far less than the townhouses that were there before.

On the other hand, I love some of the big condo towers going up on the periphery of Yorkville, replacing empty lots. I think the neighbourhood's charm is its low-rise village character surrounded by massive towers.

Can someone taking an update of this tower zoom in closely on the strips of cladding? Looks interesting.

I fail to see what's "special", but here you go.
