Here's a few snaps of photos today from Deer Park to North York Centre.
Clairmont
Less fussy than I imagined, I like the massing and setbacks of this building, and the fact that it takes up a relatively small portion of the Yonge Street frontage.
The Avenue
Panache
I think this building is a bit thoughtless in its design, but generally harmless to a not-very-delicate stretch of Eglinton.
Chateau Royale
Though I'm not a fan of the design of this building, in scale and uses it seems perfect for its location and is an example, I would think, of the city's move towards "avenues". Mount Pleasant in this area is already quite, well, pleasant, and this building will do it no harm.
900 Mt. Pleasant
I think this will be much less successful than the Chateau, despite the tower attached. The meeting of the street already seems awkward.
88 on Broadway
Minto Midtown
Love those windows.
Materials look quite nice.
This is just a great development, nice to see it coming along so well.
Platinum XO
Like a great big piece of shite falling from the sky. Ugh. So heavy.
Dia Condos
Best ever for North York, without question. This is a building that isn't dull from any side, and is continually able to surprise. It seems quite light, and though I'm not sure about the colour of red chosen, I like the materials used.
C-Condos / Continental
Whatever. More of the same for North York.
Meridian
First building is complete, the second is just above ground level. I actually like how dark the glass is on this building, though the Scarborough Centre-ish shape, with an ellipse moving into a square, is a bit odd I find. I also think it makes an effort to meet Finch, which is possibly more than that street deserves. The entrance is well away from Finch, which is good. But why, oh why, do they make ultramodern towers with ye-olde bases? Look at the entrance to this building. It's just silly.
