Toronto CHAZ | 150.87m | 47s | 45 Charles Ltd | P + S / IBI

There are six women portrayed in this render and only one male.

Perhaps this is a drag bar? The one in the dress on the right is a bit manish, and the one sporting a turtle-neck is obviously hiding an adam's apple.
 
ha,ha, I think we are really taking this a little too far.
Girls love to shop together, gossip together, go to the bathroom together, etc. so it's natural to show them in groups.

How about showing some pillow fight action! Bedroom render anyone?
 
With a name like "Chaz on Charles" how can it not be a gay-themed building?

Well, actually it's:

Chaz

on Charles at Yonge


That's quite different than:

Chaz
on
Charles


Looks to me like they we're tying to avoid the Chaz on Charles connotations.
 
Why? It's so much more interesting this way. Wasn't there supposed to be a gay themed condo somewhere anyways? Maybe this is it and they just need to go further: Chaz Down On Charles? I can just imagine a whole line up of guys named Charles stopping by to inquire.
 
Condo porn...gotta love it. Yes, X2 marketing people targeted the gay community. The use of hot pink is another cue...but not sure that it translated into sales. Charles is turning into a great residential street.
 
There was a condo proposed years ago specifically for gay people, but I don't think it ever came to fruition.
 
The podium/base on this building looks pretty bad. The interior "courtyard" area looks like it'll be surrounded by mostly blank solid walls. The glass sections that appear to be cutouts from the concrete-looking material are a little interesting but not enough to vindicate it in my opinion. The tower portion is a bit different at least.

Wasn't that is Leslieville?
 
It was by Context, on Adelaide St East. Since turned over to TCHC and the beautiful new residences by aA @501 Adelaide St East: http://urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?578-TCHC-501-Adelaide-E-288-King-E-(14s-aA)/page16

Probably the wrong location for Context's target audience.

Re: Chaz marketing.

Market research shows that women make up the majority of home purchasing decisions in NA, and the trend of single professional women buying condos downtown is pretty well known. Maybe some guys will be attracted by the sexy women portrayed as well.... Big deal--sex sells.

Since ads for the condo on Nicholas Street feature smokers, let's call it the "Cancer Condo".

The irony is that there is sure to be no smoking allowed in any of the common areas. So where is everyone smoking?
