Parade Condo overlooking the Gardiner

Parade Condo overlooking the Gardiner.

Now that the skybridge has been installed, the Cityplace Development is really coming together. Not to long ago the entire area west of Spadina was a giant putting and driving range.

Now the development on the west side is almost complete with the exception of the government subsidized housing towers that have yet to be built.

Once complete I believe the potential of the area will come into full bloom, even before the addition of the schools, library and LRT line running down Bremner. Can't deny the facts, people want to live downtown.

Just my observation anyways....

The Toronto Condo Boom

The boom in the Toronto Condo industry which began slowly in the late 1990's and picked up steam in the early aughts (00's) has transformed the look and feel of the City. Highrises are sprouting from all areas of the city, mainly the downtown core, but other areas, such as Liberty Village, Etobicoke Shores, Scarborough, Mississauga City Centre and North York Centre are also experiencing rapid condo growth and densification. Part of it is the design of the provincial government, which wants to attain maximum efficiency of use out of publicly funded transit such as GO Transit, the TTC and regional lines. Plus heavy investment in infastructure such as the Airport Line, The Eglinton Crosstown LRT Line, as well as the Union Station Renovation project all of which will make getting into and out of the core far easier then ever before. At the same time providing a real lifestyle choice to those that decide they enjoy downtown living.
