Some nice curtain-wall glass going in (rare for most condos)… maybe their collaboration with music artist Pharrell leaked into the exterior? I'm "Happy".

Parkside Village, Mississauga
It's been a while since I posted about these towers going up in Mississauga. There's 4 towers underway in just this masterplan, and 5 cranes in total. It's great to finally see this site get closer to completion. I took these yesterday.

The phase in front is called Voya, with a 42 and 36 floor tower to be on site, and the much further along phase behind it is called Avia, and will have a 38 floor tower matched with a 50 floor tower.

Toronto Port Lands update. The new mouth of the Don River has been flooded!

So lovely! Thanks for the Port Lands post, Vanman.

Be interesting to see how much of the planting grows by August when I get out there.

Incredible project for Toronto. What game changer for the waterfront.

2 very big (and very nice) mid-rises… one west of the core and the other to the east:

KING Toronto | 57.6m | 16s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group l u/c

A project of this size could have been a nasty blockbuster on the small but vibrant streetscape of King West, but the large heritage retention components along King St. and the internal piazza-ish POPs that opens to the street, goes a long way to help this fit in despite its size.

I found this interesting… a comparison of the normal flow of the river... with a major flood event. Really shows all that flood protection planning and execution at work.

Le 900 St-Jacques. A 200m-60 floors rental tower. Looks like another 15 floors to go.

Very Neo-Brutalist. Love it.

Rico Rommheim · #**137** Posted **Mar 4, 2024, 10:06 PM**

Yeah I agree, the neo-britalist choice was a good one, especially given it's prominent location the seen from Saint-jacques street. I imagine a glass tower wouldn't have had quite a positive effect here.
