There is construction now at the Uptown - looks like excavation! Even beating Blu to it!

Waterloo_Guy · May 12th, 2007, 05:01 AM

Great. Good to see this actually going up.

CrazyCanuck · May 12th, 2007, 05:34 AM

and people thought this would fail, this is great news. Imagine the density in this area in 5 years, it's gonna be nuts.

phunky · May 12th, 2007, 03:21 PM

YAY

I love this building. I always had faith in it.

Marco Polo · May 12th, 2007, 07:33 PM

Wonderful!!

neggbird · May 12th, 2007, 11:25 PM

I really doubt this building is going to look good at all. I have seen a ton of these brown cladded buildings go up in Mississauga and they all look horrible. From a distance, the buildings look lined with cardboard. The only way buildings like this can be decent is if they use actual limestone to clad it, but since this is just a condo, there is a zero percent chance of that happening, we'll just get that prefab garbage.

I'm hopeful yet equally concerned however

first mistake ... comparing Mississauga real estate to Yorkville real estate
second mistake ... assuming all precast is of the same quality

Yes, I'm a bit nervous about the precast, as well. But I try to remain
"cautiously optimistic".

VikkyD · May 13th, 2007, 04:05 PM

Being a hopeless Optimist, I'm going to go ahead and say that this building will look fantastic! (we can hope right?) either way... the height at that location will be superb... very excited about this one. Does this area count as yorkville? I know they're selling it as if it were in yorkville.... but, really?

monkeyronin · May 14th, 2007, 03:48 AM

If the cladding looks anything like One Saint Thomas, I'll be happy.

not in the traditional sense you nitpicker however it is a part of Bay/Yorkville BIA

Mike in TO · May 14th, 2007, 04:51 PM

The base of the tower facing Bulmato is planned to have black granite (first 6 floors). The rest of the tower will be precast.

VikkyD · May 15th, 2007, 06:55 AM

BLACK granite? I think that'll turn out very nicely! there are no real good renders of the street level of this building.... very few renders of it in general.... i guess we'll just have to see it built!, and i can't wait!

look@round · June 23rd, 2007, 02:18 AM

Pictures from today.
No much to see, just a small excavation...
Does anyone have a "nice" rendering of the building (most of the links in the thread don't work anymore). Thanks!

monkeyronin · June 23rd, 2007, 02:51 AM

This is the offical one.

look@round · June 23rd, 2007, 06:15 AM

Thanks for the rendering

phunky · June 23rd, 2007, 09:58 AM

Why is that the only rendering around? I think it's the only one I've ever seen of it.

VikkyD · June 23rd, 2007, 10:06 PM

that rendering and the one that Anthony Sun drew on Skysraperpage.com (Which is tiny)

why so few renderings? hmm... well this way we'll get to be completely surprised! woohoo! (lets hope for good)

current · June 23rd, 2007, 10:24 PM

I think I remember seeing a different rendering located on the hoarding at the construction site. As I recall it showed the black granite at street level.
