Toronto Regent Park Central Park & Aquatic Centre | ?m | ?s | TCHC | MJMA

I may be wrong, but I believe those are two different parks; both are planned.

 

[RiverCity1]

Yes, two different parks. The top one is Regent Park (now under construction) on Dundas Street as part of Phase 2, and the bottom one is planned for Phase 3 (not approved yet) on Shuter Street.

Thanks... I'm aware that these are two different parks. I was referring to this rendering of the first park:

That's from the original master plan and was never meant to represent anything more than 'there will be a park here.'

Another small sign that this redevelopment is beginning to foster a public life for the wider city.

The Sackville St entrance for the TCHC Building is taking shape - looks like the columns will be getting the red cladding treatment as well

Residents are moving in to 230 Sackville today. And here's a view you don't see

Holy Spandrel!!!

 

[cassius]

Yeah, that's a lot of spandrel but you've captured it so beautifully!

That combination of spandrel and windows looks sleek and elegant. 300 Front's use of spandrel by contrast looks ugly. It comes down to subtleties like the colour of the spandrel and the size and positioning of the windows.

Same architect for both 300 Front and 230 Sackville!

Architects aren't always consistent.
