Man that Loblaws is a beast. I heard it was the biggest grocery store in Canada, not sure if that's true. It was already big before they took over the old movie theatre space.
Looking at the last picture that was posted, and driving past this project and the office buildings on either side of the highway tonight (i.e. Konica Minolta, TD, Telesat, the offices next to Shoppers City East), there's so much potential for this area to become a town centre or mini downtown like the area around Scarborough Town Centre (but better designed). The drive east on the 174 towards Blair looks so different with this project.

That's actually a Spook Centrals picture but now that I know what the high rise is called I'll look for it. They all better like the sound of snow clearing and air brakes in the morning.
Not bad for a rental tower. I like how they were not even trying to hide the fact that this will be a single tower in the midst of nothing (aka wide open spaces and parking lots) .... at least for now...
It's funny how a little building like this that wouldn't make a dent in the Toronto skyline is making such an impression on ours. Gloucester has an anchor now and it look enormous from Pineview. I hope to see larger towers follow in the near future. I think this is an excellent location being only 7 minutes from downtown by light rail and surrounded by amenities.
This building looks really tall when you're driving east on the 174. With all the office buildings and now residential, this area has the greatest potential to become a proper (somewhat) suburban town centre.

I was down at the Gloucester Center yesterday, and it looks bigger than it really is given there is nothing else comparable in the area. The hope is that area will build up once the LRT is rolling through Blair Station. Gotta give them credit for being so forward thinking with the station not even up and running yet. I'll do a tour once it's open as I'm starting to look for a new place.
