Midtown makeover: The Madison

Occupying the entire block of Eglinton between Dunfield Ave. and Lillian St., the development will include 644 condos and 53,600 square feet of retail space, anchored by a 40,000-square-foot grocery store. (Currently, the area has a 24-hour Metro in the basement of the Yonge Eglinton Centre.)

“We’ve got a great opportunity here,” says Miguel Singer, principal with Madison Homes, the project’s developer. “This will allow for the beginning of a revitalization of that commercial quadrant on Eglinton.”

The Madison will have two glass towers, one 33 storeys, the other 30. The towers will be connected by an eight-floor podium that will house some residential suites, the building amenities, as well as the two-storey retail complex.

thats a lot of retail! thats good. and who knew that toronto has a broadway as well as new york? :P

The podium looks like a mish-mash of styles thrown together, but the towers are decent. Not great, but on par with many projects in downtown. The large amount of retail sounds great though. I was very familiar with this area in my high school days. This development fills up one of the last empty lots and pretty much completes this urban stretch of Eglinton East.

Yonge and Eglinton is really bulking up, it's almost its own distinct urban node now. The malls, the subway lines, and the new condos making it all a very one-stop shop for everything.

Been passing by the development recently, sidewalk is opened to walk on in some areas, a lot of work inside and great progress on the new Loblaws. I'd post an update, but I'd rather wait for when the interior and landscaping is complete.

I understand this condo complex isn't quite completed, but I feel I've seen the gist of what this building holds up to, and will apply some reasoning for the rating I'd give this building.
Overall Rating: 3/5
The Following reasons state why this rating is held:
-From what memory serves, improvement of what the site previously contained
-Positive contribution to neighbourhood (Loblaws/retail, more residents etc.)
-Respectable improvement to sidewalk and street life (Addition of trees and nice design of wide sidewalks) -Not exactly an amazing design/materials could've been better, but also worse (Curve of balconies on North face is alright, but other sides are meh, a bit too many balconies)
Note
I only made this post since I never really seen this kind of post on SSP, and I thought to just give my opinion of this building, nothing to start an argument or to attempt to troll this thread.

Sorry, I have been reading the many strange arguments in the Great Canadian Skylines thread, it's a whirlwind of beautiful photos and off hand remarks misunderstood to be insults to other cities.
