Nice area, it reminds me a lot of Guildwood. What do homes go for in that area?

Saint-Lambert is an old suburb.
From the municipality's website :

A bold enterprise began to see the light of day: the construction of the Victoria Bridge. It was completed in 1859.

With the infrastructures needed for the establishment of the railway in place, the urbanization of this territory, which had, up until that point, been primarily agricultural, was inevitable. In 1857, conscious of the promise the presence of the railway held for the development of the territory, the property owners of Saint-Lambert requested that it be incorporated as a municipality; it became a village in 1892, a town in 1898, and, eventually, a city in 1921.

In the 1880s, the municipality of Saint-Lambert evolved into a middle-class, predominantly Anglo-Protestant, residential suburb, made up of white-collar workers, middle managers, craftsmen, and shopkeepers, whose livelihoods were largely linked to the railway. In the decades following, the erstwhile majority Francophone Catholic population dwindled, to recover its numbers only around the 1970s.


It was also developed around an interurban streetcar / tramway :
The Montreal and Southern Counties Railway Company (M&SCRC) was an interurban streetcar line that ran between Montreal and Granby until 1956.
The service was extended to Longueuil in 1910, toward Mackayville (Saint-Lambert) in 1912 and to Chambly, Richelieu and Marieville in 1913, Saint-Césaire in 1914, Saint-Paul-d'Abbotsford, Quebec in 1915, and finally Granby in 1916. Absorbed by the Grand Trunk Railway, the M&SCRC became the property of CN in 1923. Service started to decline in 1951 when CN replaced the electric tramways with diesel trains between Marieville and Granby.

This image got me so confused. I didn't know what I was staring at.

It's not terrible except... do you access the closets from the exterior of the unit? Those look like closet doors beside the main entrances.

I also added the newest Yorkville proposal, 33 Yorkville, tucked in nicely behind the Four Seasons Hotel.

That area is getting ridiculous. How in the world can the current infrastructure handle all this? The 2 towers alone at Bloor and Yonge will have a population of around 2000 people.

Other than transit (which is a big problem across Toronto) is this really that much of an issue?

Kinda astonishing that a 2 block neighbourhood north of the major density, alone will kick most NA skylines (no China discussion - won't go there lol).

Yorkville a 2 block neighbourhood? I am not that familiar with Yorkville but it can't really be small?

Let's be generous, and say a 2 block Radius around Yonge/Bloor, which would equal 4 blocks squared, or 16 blocks...

Never thought of Yorkville as extending east of Yonge...

These are great. I'm really loving this kind of "londonesque" density and build form. Classy, beautiful, appealing.
