Toronto Aqualina at Bayside | 47.85m | 13s | Tridel | Arquitectonica

[Avenue]

I want to like this building but it's so 2003 - inside out. Maybe it's meant to appeal to overseas investors?

That hot tub is a laughably obvious cheap-out.

Look on the bright side: now only at most 4 residents can bathe in a soup of fecal bacteria with complete strangers.

That hot tub could also use a lifeguard.

Solaris still has one of the best gyms I've seen in a condo. Top notch.

Underground parking at Aqualina includes paid visitor parking.

Expensive for visitor parking.. it is usually well below market, no? My buildings visitor day rate is half of the surrounding market parking, and my last building had free parking, albeit it was more on the edge of downtown.

That's 1/2 hour rate is especially expensive.

Going to really complete Sherbourne Common once this building, including retail, is fully occupied.

Thanks for sharing, I was unaware there was a skating rink there.

Any news of possible retailers? I’m thinking of a coffee shop for sure, right. There’s a timmies at the George brown college so maybe a Starbucks. And I’m thinking of a bank as well.

If that's Tridel's idea of what a well-designed mid-block connection looks like, then they have a lot of learning to do.

Or, more likely, they don't want to learn because the profits are so delicious when you build things that are just passably mediocre.

The building already looks dated.

The building already looks dated.

It's 2003, cutting edge in Markham.

because the underground visitor parking here is not owned by the condo corporation but instead sold to and operated by impark ... not unlike what is done at various downtown condos
