Toronto Solaris at Metrogate Condos | ?m | 40s | Tridel | Graziani + Corazza COMPLETE

Just passed the site on the GO Train this morning.
The southeast side is one level above ground. I assume that since they didn't dig very deep here that the underground parking is located elsewhere on the site.

I have to wait until after March Break to get you an answer about the glass colour.

in my visit this weekend, I was pleasantly suprised to find the elliptical shaped tower footprints are evident in the foundation forms

Looks like prep work for a raft slab. (a huge block of concrete that adds ballast in unstable soil conditions)

So exactly how many basement levels are there? In one corner it looks like two storeys although thats where the raft slab appears to be going in. Most of the site appears to around one storey deep while the east side appears to be above grade.

 

[Solaris]

techincally there are 2 basement levels, but because the grading is weird in that area, I think the 'ground level' will in fact be 1 floor above grade whereas the P1 level will be at grade

Why are downtown Markham or Langstaff like developments not being used here?

 

[marcus_a_j]

Well, those two are a lot bigger in area than this site for starters.

Sure but if you look at a lot of recent medium/large developments Toronto is really lagging behind the suburbs. Yes granted we already have well developed areas but either way. Specially, I'm pointing to the developments along Sheppard and this one here by tridel.

Some might blame CityPlace downtown as well but it's a different situation all together. Unlike the other areas in question it is surrounded by retail/offices already.

Seems like the waterfront (the east side ...) is the only thing were doing right nowadays.
