So everything north of Charles Street is now Yorkville, including Dollarama, KFC and The Brass Rail? Wow, how prestigious, a sleazy strip club in Yorkville! Who are we kidding here? lol

Just like Parkdale becoming WQW, west Queen West. No neighborhood should be stale. We should embrace the growth of a successful neighbourhood. Yorkvillve itself used to be very rough just a few decades ago. Theres no reason why South Bloor cant be prestigious. Projects like these may attract the right people and give back the attention the area needed to make the improvements.
My point is, we should be positive about the positive attitudes towards growth and expansion, as long as we respect the history and heritage.

Yorkville was very rough a few decades ago? As in dangerous? No. One could say "colourful" in the 60's & 70's, but not rough.

I kind of like that neighbourhood boundaries can change and expand. I'm really looking forward to the Dollarama Lofts and the Brass Rail Residences in Yorkville

I guess you are right, its like Queen west. Artists discover a neighborhood first, then brands and luxury boutiques come in, artists get pushed out.

Dollarama no. Brassrail, maybe yes. In central London most prestigious areas do have strip club and red light districts, such as Gray's Inn.

Aside from the new 4$, based on the quality of modern condo architecture alone, Charles Street will feel more like an upscale street vs. Yorkville Av or Scollard.

I'd still take the charm of Yorkville Ave., Cumberland St. etc. any day. In fact, I'd prefer Charles East aside from the Manulife tower and 1 St. Thomas on Charles West.

Is Casa 4 coming to the land they own at 64 Charles? Anyone heard anything? I really hope they try a differnt design if they plan another tall one next door at 64. I guess this movement down Charles will evenutally fill all the land on both sides of the street with highrise between Church and Yonge? Or maybe even Jarvis and Yonge?

Would the Asian investors buy at anything with a 4 in the name or address?!

Ok well they bought the land at 64, so presumably something will be built there. I guess time will tell.

^ The land behind that site is owned by The Salvation Army Grace Hospital at Bloor & Church.

Thank God for that ....
Developers are taking advantage of the Boom for repetitive boring Glass Boxes in our city. Sadly, lots of people blindly like them. Ridiculous !!!

64charles was bought by cresford. I think it's the old houses next door to Casa 3, on Charles. Is it just for the sales centre or something maybe if not a condo tower?
