Anyone notice that the rendering also added a few towers to the area just east of Yonge and the 401. No not the large ones that are already there right next to Yonge on its east side, but an entire community just east of those, some highrise, and townhouses about 3-4 inchs from Yonge on the left.

Any idea what those are? Proposed? Approved?

To put Hullmark Centre into context ~

I just feel really bad for west facing units purchased in Radiance @ MintoGardens ... they were great suites too

Now if someone could photoshop Emerald Park, Pearl and Gibson House into that pic, we'd have a nice idea of what the area would look like in 3 years.

So when everything is built, will suburban North York have the 5th or 6th best skyline in the country?? Sorry Edmonton...

I know it will be just outside the top 10 if measured against cities in the U.S. ;-)

You can't call it suburban North York, let alone suburban Toronto. This part of Toronto is very urban.

Aside from the corridor of towers all you see is predominately single family houses, which makes it more sub than urban.

Great view though.

The SW corner needs more redevelopment...the Bazis towers only heighten how little will be done to that corner.

You could say the same thing about downtown, which transitions from skyscrapers down to mostly 2 storey single family houses within a couple blocks of the YUS loop.

Even though most of the area was actually built in the post-war period, there was enough urban fabric from the pre-war period, including the all-important street grid + main street strip, for North York to be more urban than sub. Small towns aren't suburban, and North York was basically a small town swallowed up by suburban growth...just because something is located in "the suburbs" doesn't mean it's "suburban."

That's exactly it. When you walk in the area, it doesn't feel suburban at all. It's not the same as downtown, but similar and more like downtown than it is a suburban strip mall community like say Meadowvale in Mississauga.

Awesome~ but I think the two towers on Emerald is flipped... The taller one is suppose to be closer to Yonge.

Suburban communities also tend to include some urban areas. They tended to swallow up villages and small towns, after all. Some areas in Toronto's suburbs deserve to be a part of urban Toronto.

does anyone know if anything is proposed for the huge parking lot to the east of the Nestle Building along Yonge?

No, you can't.
