Which one's the Baseline and Clyde project?

Across the from abandoned concrete super structures. Kitty corner the new Dymon storage. It's the 3 older 12 floor buildings. I was just commenting on the ratio of units per floor.
These buildings are fantastic btw. The Condo corp that looks after it has done a bunch of work, at least for 1465. New lobbies and tile, carpets and hallway treatment. Laundry room, billiards room, sauna, workshop.. all that jazz and everything actually works and is open. Place is always clean. There is a small library next to the laundry room with folding tables and sinks! Fees are somewhere in the high 700s. Windows and patio doors were replaced about 5 years ago. So that all seems reasonable.
The ground floor unit 2nd from the corner facing the Baseline and Clyde intersection is noisy though. Lots of emergency vehicles and hot rodders who are still driving slow cars. You can tell they bought high quality windows, the difference in sound between a window cracked an inch and fully shut is impressive.
I think would much prefer to live in one of these older concrete monoblocks than the small snippet of what I have seen for newer towers. By and large I don't work in apartments. Certainly not newer ones. I've been in either CP 1 or 2.. and the Bowery in the not to distant past. I wasn't all that impressed tbh. There was nothing 'luxury' about the finishes.
