make it stop. Even the town homes look like prisons. This is a complete piece of junk.

Hello everyone, how can I find the floor plans for these units? Their website is just taking registrations now but no Floorplans or rental details...

I heard this whole development is a troll and the Interiors are hollow like a hangar

That sounds believable Monsieur Shake and Bake. It's being a long pre-leasing period for the rentals and the first tower is still unoccupied.
Unless the plan is an international student ghetto with occupancies starting in mid August.

...again, the saving grace here is that clashing colour. Because if this was all Toronto grey or Anti-Social beige even, this would make "Design" Haus look like the Taj Mahal otherwise.

The grace isn't saving. It's just less-awful.

No, the grace here is that the colour makes it fascinatingly awful...

Interesting take. Like when you see an accident and you can't look away.

The legacy of Toronto’s brutalist past is captured perfectly with this development. The colours chosen were sampled directly from the post-war apartment facades.
Utter failure in the approvals process if this steamer snuck its way through. A literal reincarnation of everything wrong with Torontos past.
This development perfectly showcases how unsophisticated, how unambitious, how absent the desire to innovate is within Torontos development community.
A monument to our mediocracy.
Hundreds of people for years to come, will start and end their day by having this depressing environment rob them of any joy. They will spill out of here each day, like so many of generations past in this city, eager to venture into more vibrant parts, then dread their return back to this soul sucking hinterland. They’ll look enviously towards the residents of the galleria, wondering why their home is so bad in comparison. They’ll attempt to quiet their inner critiques, reminding themselves that they should be grateful that they have a place to live. Alas life must go on, just another crime without justice. One of them may set off to school each day, dreaming of what could have been, vowing to build the homes they so desperately wished they could live in. And perhaps in the distant future, this person will go on to have a successful career building visionary homes, amassing great wealth. They then decide to take that wealth and purchase the development they grew up in, razing it to the ground then building upon the site the home they wished they had. Perhaps then justice will truly be served.
