Exactly. I'm pretty sure someone needs to start a couple "outside of Toronto" threads. Cause it's kinda ridiculous that every other city except Calgary gets lost in the sea of Toronto.

If the landscaping is actually as they've depicted, then it will be beautiful!

It's Vancouver, so it will probably be beautiful anyway.

Vancouver projects tend to allocate more money towards landscaping.

I'm actually disappointed how few mature trees will remain between the buildings. Too much glass also... and not enough solid stone/wood anchors (that's not to say punched windows, which I despise). I love sloped sites, but hate how some buildings fail to meet the ground and end up floating on a 1-storey high retaining wall (see bottom of render)

Infill build replaces mixed-use, adds residential

Quote:

Thirteen currently commercial and office addresses along Dundas Street West, west of Kipling Avenue and on adjacent Shorncliffe Road will be replaced with an equal amount of commercial space as well as six condominiums, eight highrise towers ranging from 20 to 30 storeys, a 0.4-hectare public park and a new publicly accessible private road network.

Land has also been secured for future subway expansion.

Quote:

"We're achieving real mixed-use development with this proposal," said Etobicoke-Lakeshore Councillor Peter Milczyn, who represents the area. "A dry cleaners or a convenience store on the ground floor of a building or building strictly residential is not good enough. We need to create employment spaces."

Quote:

Etobicoke York Community Council Wednesday approved a zoning amendment to allow Dunshorn Holdings Inc. to move forward with its plans for residential and replacement mixed-use commercial retail and office space at 5415, 5421-5429, 5453, 5475 and 5481 Dundas St. W. and 15 and 25 Shorncliffe Rd.

Alder Place owns and intends to develop adjacent properties at 5485 and 5487 Dundas St. W.

Quote:

Some $1.25 million will be used to create a new park on the Dunshorn site on the south side of Dundas and/or for improvements to Cloverdale Park north of Dundas on Shaver Avenue. Alder Place will contribute another $250,000 to do the same.

More Doug Ford LOL'z

Quote:

Etobicoke North Councillor Doug Ford expressed enthusiasm at the project. He said he wished for similar projects in his ward.

"I'd kill to have someone give me $1.5 million to help develop north Etobicoke," he said. "It's fabulous. Will it increase property values? Yes. Does it have parkland? Yes. It's a win-win."

Cadillaccc: Calgary doesn't even come close. TO's pretty much in a league of their own.

1000 Bay is a turd on prime land. The tower might be tolerable if the corny wrap arounds were omitted.
The podium looks decent though.

WhipperSnapper · #**3813** Posted **Nov 5, 2011, 7:26 PM**

Calling 1Thousand Bay a turd and 1000 Bay prime land is a tad much don't you think.

I live only a block away from the Marine project site, looking forward to it breaking ground. I believe the entire project is being done in a single phase.
