Ok.. corniest name for a condo I've ever heard, this is to be built at the old Mistral site near Lakeshore/Park Lawn in Mimico... There is a billboard on the site currently, but no renderings:

Beyond the Sea Condominium – Legion Road and Lake Shore Blvd



The following are some of the basic details as provided by the developer, Empire Homes at a presentation to HBSCA in October 2006. These are subject to revision with the final plans.



1. GFA - approximately 365,000 sq. ft (of which approx 350K residential,15K commercial/retail ground along Lakeshore) - all net of GFA deductions. This is approximately 30k more than present approvals



2. Units - approximately 485 suites, mix of types, average about 720 sq. ft /unit (ie. 350,000 sq. ft/485 units = 722 sf / unit) - subject to detailed marketing and design



3. Heights:
* 3 storey base building along Lakeshore (mixed commercial/residential)
* 36 storey tower - about same height as main tower as Marina Del Ray and as approved for the 2005 proposal at C of A
* 27 storey tower - 1 storey higher than original 2003 approval
* Slender shape point towers (about 6500 sq. ft. floorplates)- about 1/3 less than approved in 2003 - better views/openness to and through development
* Landscaped terrace with pool/recreation amenity link two towers
* Townhouse units along Legion and facing future City park (north)
* NO above grade parking structure (parking garage underground)



4. Legion Road Lights:
* As part of the original approvals the developer is responsible for the installation of traffic lights at the corner. HBSCA will be pushing to have these very important signals installed as soon a possible after C of A approval is given





Next step is for the developer to refine the details and to have a public meeting.

Ok, is this related to the other post on the OMB approval, or is this a separate project in Mimico?

Seperate project. Here in condoland we get condos up the yazoo.

what a bad name. lake ontario is not a sea.

Jesus! that area is going to look like Miami in a few years!

another year, another developer, and another proposal for the site - maybe this time

I'll say it is beyond the sea. By about a thousand miles. Truly a silly name if I ever heard one.

They're quickly running out of stupid names for condos in this city.

Well that's good. That means that maybe they'll finally start using good names!

Phase two aimed at retired English lit profs to be called: The old man and the sea. Library to be built at base.

Ok just some fun speculation.

But wouldn't that be cool--naming toronto condos after famous toronto-written novels?

this one is so weird that it must of some sort of local significant like Bohemian Embassy on Queen West

But wouldn't that be cool--naming toronto condos after famous toronto-written novels?

Now 'fess up, if that were the case you would live in "The Edible Woman" :lol:
Personally, I would never live in the "Life before Man" condo. What a bore that would be!

Seems this one may be named after the Bobby Darin song from the 1950's...then there was that movie with Kevin Spacey...

Somewhere Beyond The Sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere Beyond The Sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sa-a-ail-ing
It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet, I know we'll meet,
beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be Beyond The Sea
And never again I'll go sa-a-ail-ing
It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet, I know we'll meet,
beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be Beyond The Sea
And never again
I'll go sa-a-ail-ing

I think I need a martini :cheers:

That's funny. There is a book about about Dave Nichol called "The Edible Man". I never did the math on that, but our buddy Dave is in the closet (I have a friend who's friend was one of his "business partners", or so Dave's wife thought - and I'm not making this crap up).

I didn't get the inside joke.

was the only one who didn't read the "Insider's Report" closely enough :lol:

An assumed one. His real boss is named Michael, and Michael's boss is named Fred! :lol:

All I keep hearing in my mind is that fake Jamaican accent singing the song "Unda deh sea" from the Little Mermaid. "Beyond deh sea...."

Real estate agents camp out for condos
279 Suites Up For Grabs; Lake Shore Towers Will Not Be Built Until 2010

http://a123.g.akamai.net/f/123/12465/1d/media.canada.com/idl/ntnp/20070727/ntnp_20070727_a010_realestateagent_81754_mi0001.jpg
Tim Fraser For National Post

Natalie Alcoba, National Post
Published: Friday, July 27, 2007

In an effort compared to lining up for a Bruce Springsteen concert, about 150 real estate agents, some with lawn chairs, bottled water, sleeping bags and snacks, camped out overnight for a shot at a new Lake Shore Boulevard condominium that will not even be built until 2010.

The first phase of Beyond the Sea, located west of Park Lawn Road, sold out in just two days last June; it's likely phase two's 279 suites will be snapped up quickly. Both towers won't be ready for another three years.

In the spirit of Toronto's seemingly insatiable appetite for real estate, a lineup for Beyond the Sea was already growing at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday. It ended shortly after noon yesterday, when the developer started handing out numbers for a first-come, first-served process. Aside from a few words from people guarding against queue-jumpers, the night went by smoothly.

Each agent, representing clients, was allowed to purchase a maximum of two units.

"The only thing that's missing are wristbands," said Surinder Chandi, an agent who compared the lineup to getting tickets for the hottest show in town.

Margaret Attwood, a Royal Le-Page agent, enlisted the help of her 20-year-old niece and her boyfriend. "I paid them $100 each," she said, and warned them to expect to stay the night. That expense secured her spot number 73.

This isn't the first time prospective buyers have camped out for a chance at units that exist only on blueprints, but agents say it's happening with more frequency.

"If the location is good, you will see more of this," predicted Re/Max rep Jolly Deol. "People think Toronto is still undervalued compared to other cities," he said, such as New York, Chicago and Vancouver.

Condos account for about 40% of all housing sales in Toronto. According to a recent report by TD Bank Financial, the city is forecast to see a 4.2% annual appreciation in resale condos. The average condo is expected to cost $249,888 by the end of this year, compared to $239,816 in 2006.

Some agents dismissed the Beyond the Sea enthusiasm as "hype," saying lineups generate lineups.

Sundeep Bahl estimated that about 60% of the buyers will be investors. He was in line yesterday representing two of them.

"The actual buyer [who wants to occupy] will never be able to hold off for three years," he said. "And those are an uncertain three years."

Beyond the Sea touts itself as "affordable waterfront living." The showroom, located in an Etobicoke warehouse, has been painted sky blue and has a massive starfish attached to the front. Its floor plans -- named Shoreline, Starfish and Coastal-- range in size from 481 square feet to nearly 1,200. Bachelor units start at $169,900 and the most expensive two-bedroom penthouse suite sells for $889,900.

"We are overwhelmed with the response," said Karen Kessel, vice-president of sales and marketing for Empire Communities, the Beyond the Sea developer. "In the last six months, we have seen other condominium projects in the city experience the same type of enthusiasm by the real estate industry. I guess it just speaks volumes about how the real estate market is doing in the city of Toronto."

But Empire Communities has also worked for this kind of turnout -- two years of planning led up to a three-month ad campaign that featured the Bobby Darin song Beyond the Sea. "It's meant to create awareness of the project and hopefully get the buzz in the market for people talking about it, phoning, wanting to come in."

People are that crazy to buy a unit in this building that they line up overnight? weird.

It's amusing as this is literally RIGHT in front of my place... Nothing closer, not even Grand Harbour!

I think this signifies that our insatiable condo market has gotten quite crazy and that we are due for a correction quite soon. With the economy going soft, interest rates going up, the demand will greatly soften, and all those investors will be forced to sell as the market is flooded with all these condos in the next few years. We're heard the doom and gloom before, but this time I think with the economic weakness we see in Ontario and especially in the GTA, the real estate market should correct itself.

It's been happening at Cityplace and Parkplace as well.

Those developments are FAR better than this.

Those developments are FAR better than this.

You must be joking...

This development has guaranteed uninterrupted lake views considering one of Toronto's largest waterfront parks is directly in front of it. The location is great, surrounded by parks, lakeside promenades and the lake itself. Whichever way you spin it, the location is light years ahead of Sheppard and Leslie. I'll let Cityplace's only redeemable feature be its downtown location. Aside from that... It's one of the most godawful urban experiments to date.

I was only talking about location and appearance. This building is ugly!

Actually I'd put it above the majority of Cityplace buildings (the next batch will fix that though, I hope)

The location is LIGHT YEARS ahead of Concord Park Place.. Nobody arguest such a fact.

It's not on a subway line. I'd take subway line over the lake anyday. Practicality is more important than the view.

It's by a highway that gets you to the core in about 10 minutes. The streetcar is slow but it gets you downtown in about 30-40 minutes (about the same time as someone from Park Place). The soon to be built Waterfront West LRT will get you downtown in less than 20 minutes by transit. So this location is literally LIGHT YEARS.. and I stress that, above Concord Park Place.. For God's sake, you're living above a disused Canadian Tire. How chic is that?

Oh it's two towers now?

It was always proposed as a two-tower development. The second one will be about the same height as the pyramid-topped Marina Del Rey I.

Actually I'd put it above the majority of Cityplace buildings

You're nuts


It's one of the most godawful urban experiments to date.

However Humber Bay Shores masterplan is a nightmare compared to Cityplace

Pfff... The new CityPlace towers are gorgeous.. The old ones are puravita shit. I'd rather have pippypoos and rounded floorplates.

The Humber Bay Shores masterplan still addresses what it's supposed to. A viable, attractive waterfront community. They have scored on that front. Have you seen how FULL and alive that place is?

Article from the latest Condo Guide magazine. The third and final building the Star Tower will be 44-storeys high.

Star Tower at Beyond the Sea - Already a glowing success, hurry for pre-construction pricing

Empire Communities’ Star Tower Condominiums is the third and final tower in one of Etobicoke’s most successful waterfront communities, Beyond the Sea. Star Tower has already attracted a wide variety of purchasers from first-time buyers to move-up purchasers, and empty-nesters, all seeking the ultimate in lakeside living, just 10 minutes from downtown. Situated on Lake Shore Boulevard West, just west of Park Lawn Road, Star Tower will be nestled between extensive new public parkland coming to the north, and on the south by the Martin Goodman Trail, a 350-kilometre trail system that winds its way locally through Humber Bay Park and past Mimico Creek. Star Tower will also offer proximity to the many shops and services along The Queensway, plus easy access to the Gardiner Expressway.

“The phenomenal success of Beyond The Sea and now Star Tower can be attributed to the outstanding value found here,” says Paul Golini Jr., Executive Vice-President, “as well as Empire Communities’ singular dedication to providing life-enhancing environments through innovative design, outstanding workmanship and a higher standard of customer care. In fact, Star Tower has proven so successful in its own right, that the awarding-winning presentation centre will close in the new year to make way for the start of construction.”

The National Sales and Marketing Council has just announced its prestigious Silver and Regional winners for the 2008 National Awards competition, The Nationals, which honours new-home sales and marketing by homebuilders, developers, associates, and consultants. The Beyond The Sea presentation centre by munge//leung: design associates has captured Silver in the category “Best Sales Office – Urban” (www.thenationals.com), and Gold Awards will emerge from the Silver Award winners at the Nationals Gala held on February 13, 2008, in Orlando, Florida.

Star Tower’s 44-storey exceptional exterior has been designed by E.I. Richmond Architects, which has created some of the finest high-rise residential offerings in the GTA. Amenities and interiors including the striking limestone and wood paneled lobby with its saltwater aquarium housing exotic sea life and coral, and fireplace are all by international award-winning munge//leung: design associates. Residents will enjoy 24-hour concierge service, plus use of The Blue Water Club – 40,000 sq. ft. of recreational facilities located on the second floor.

Suite appointments include a spacious balcony or terrace (as per plan); engineered wood flooring; imported ceramics; 40-oz. broadloom; individually controlled heating and air conditioning; a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, ceramic tile backsplash, and munge//leung-designed cabinetry, plus a deluxe stainless steel kitchen appliance package – brand-name 17-cu.-ft. frost-free refrigerator, self-cleaning range, built-in microwave, built-in dishwasher, and an attractive stacked washer/dryer; baths with a soaker tub or large shower (as per plan), cultured marble vanity with integrated basin, and munge//leung-designed cabinetry.

An excellent selection of suites is available that spans the gamut from one-bedroom to two-bedroom-plus-den suites, up to a gracious three-bedroom penthouse with terrace. Suites range in size from 584 to 1,594 sq. ft., and pre-construction pricing starts from the $240’s. Prices include a parking space and six appliances. Maintenance is estimated at 48 cents per square foot (hydro separate). Parking maintenance will run $35 per month per space, and locker maintenance $10 per month per space. First occupancies are slated for spring 2011. Register now for the limited collection of exclusive three-storey townhomes and podium suites coming in the new year.

The presentation centre is located at 2242 Lake Shore Blvd. West. Hours are Monday to Thursday from noon to 7 p.m.; Friday from noon to 6 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call 416-521-7200 or visit www.beyondtheseacondos.com.

"exceptional exterior"? It looks exactly like the first two. Not saying it's terrible but that is an over statement.

Wow.. this complex is going to further make our property value SKYROCKET!!!

so...any new news on this??

The caption on this thread needs to be modified to reflect the addition of the 3rd tower....

Breaking ground in early march/heavy equipment already on site.

can only the mods change the title line?...this one needs to reflect the 44 storey 3rd tower, plus the boutique condo thread needs an update too....

Yes, only mods can.

Done.

No updates in a long time here.. I'll take a few pics this afternoon. Star tower is just starting excavation while the first two phases have already completed 2 levels of the 4 level parking garage.

Two big cranes are poking right above the townhouses facing mine. This will be a treat to watch going up from our living room.:cheers:

Empire has topped off a tower, their 26-storey first phase, at Beyond The Sea.

A barbeque lunch was held Friday - thankfully indoors to avoid the early day rain - to celebrate the milestone!

From the ground floor site of the party, we could see into the pit where the third phase, the 44-storey Star Tower, is being built:

Whereabouts? Greystone, Harbour Village or Bal Harbour complex? lol

i live right in front of the ontario food terminal so in park lawn ;)

Thank you to all of you for your photo updates of the construction along Humber Bay Shore and the Condo progress of Beyond the Sea.

I think this building will be a real home run with the residents! Incredible vistas of the city and lake views, Lower noise from the hiway because of natural burm at Park Lawn and QEW, rail lines are behind and to the north.

It will be interesting to see how many units are turned over immediately after registration for sale.

How's about we shorten the title of this thread?

I get that from the Weston Bakery where I live, and my last place was near the cadbury chocolate factory. The poor folks down in Liberty can only enjoy the smells of the slaughter house.

The Weston Bakery always smells soooo yummy!

As a resident of South Etobicoke, I absolutely love our impressive wee skyline! It keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger!

It's so pretty!

By the way, who here has been on the streetcar going by the Mr. Christie factory on Lake Shore Blvd. W. and got a good whiff of freshly baked cookies? Man. Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't... kinda all depends on the wind, I think. TRULY one of the little gems of being a resident of South Etobicoke.

Happy New Year everyone!

Sometimes you get a whiff of cookies and sometimes you get a whiff from the Humber Wastewater Treatment Plant. Sometimes you get both at the same time. I won't miss it.

Sometimes you get a whiff of cookies and sometimes you get a whiff from the Humber Wastewater Treatment Plant. Sometimes you get both at the same time. I won't miss it.

HAHA! i heard the humber water treatment plant got new filters during the summer...i have seen some construction as well. I think that smell is gone as many residents of Park Lawn complained for the nasty smell that usually was coming out of the night. As for Mr Christie bakery, i love the smell of those baked cookies coming inside of my room :nuts:
Lakeshore is going to have a little Miami skyline in a matter of 5 years, hopefully more high rises will be approved by then...

Sometimes you get a whiff of cookies and sometimes you get a whiff from the Humber Wastewater Treatment Plant. Sometimes you get both at the same time. I won't miss it.

:lol:

"Hmmmm... what's that smell? Poo Cookies???"

Pookies.

Pookies.

hehe..clever

Where I live I've never smelled the filtration plant, but some mornings you'd get a nauseatingly delicious (does that even work?) smell of vanilla.. Mmmmm

^^ That was probably from the open bottle of Stolichnaya Vanilla vodka sitting on the floor beside your bed! :lol:

My current favourite "cocktail" (aka girlydrink) is a modern version of the Harvey Wallbanger with Stoli Vanil and Orange Juice. That's it. Simple, but tastes like an adult Creamsicle.
