"Yonge and Eglinton hasn't been "Young and Eligible" since the late 90s. Just stop."

I half-agree with you. The area's still dominated by the under-35 set, so I'd argue that the "Young" part still holds. It's the "eligible" that's questionable. Judging by the number of strollers I have to dodge and weave around on the sidewalks in that part of town, I'd say most of those young folks living at Yonge & Eg are well spoken-for at this stage.]]>

This thing goddamn ugly. What was the inspiration? A Tasco appliance warehouse?

7x8 bedrooms? Seriously? This monstrosity is designed for investors from the ground-up. No end-user is going to want to live in these. 

Ohhhhh glass walled pool!!!11!. I'll bet you in 10 years that shoddy junk will leak like a sieve. 

We need a real estate crash so investors stop propping up these garbage developments.

Minto is crap - windowless bedrooms, small spaces, crappy built. As someone mentioned one day (10 or 20 years from now) we will be paying for all these new crappily built condos.
Those maintenance fees are high and you are not going to look at yourself swimming on the 31st floor, unless you can somehow get out of your body (the cool view will not look so cool)... Thankfully this will never be built. 2017 planned move-in date, make it early 2019 which is 7 years for this crap.]]>

Hope you manage to sell your unit.  I pass the Minto buildings a few times a week, and have often thought of what a ghost it turned out to be, versus all the marketing that went into them.  It all seems like so much fuss and bother now, especially since the city cut the heart out of the development..]]>

The Minto space is wonderful. Wander down near the Minto buildings one sunny day and check out the courtyard and the two patios I mentioned. They are vibrant and full of life until late evening. There's nothing like it in the immediate area of Y&E.

Part of the public sell on the renovation of the RioCan property on the NW corner (which is removing a significant chunk of the open space) is each of the corners should contribute to open space at the intersection. Whatever Bazis settles on, I hope it'll include "public" gathering spaces like Minto did: public-use courtyards, patios that stay open late, etc.]]>

It's not taking up the entire block (so far). Both Vortex and the Duke of Kent are currently not part of this development.

The developers own the TD site, the Burger King/Beauty Supply site east of Yonge and the site housing What-A-Bagel, Town Shoes, and Black's Camera (if it's still open). They also own the rental building at 25 Roehampton Avenue. 

It's an odd shaped parcel with one tower at Yonge and Eglinton and one on Roehampton.]]>

If anyone puts any faith in a developer rendering, they need their head examined.  There is no obligation on the developer to match what marketing documents say and you'll never EVER successfully get it written into your agreement of purchase and sale to make it binding.  Good luck!]]>

What? Except for the subway entrance, they all have street level retail. SE has 7-11 and CIBC, NE has TD, Burger King, that hair supplies place, What a Bagel, the show store, Blacks, BMV, Kitchen Stuff Plus, etc., the NW has the square with the Yonge Eg Plaza. Remove the stuff on the NE corner and you take a ton away. I'm glad that TD Bank will go back in, but I doubt the others will make it. It's much easier for the condo developer to make one big easy to fill retail space than the bunch of small ones that generate street traffic and bring life to an area.

I agree tall buildings should go in this area, but they should not be built at the expense of the area. Since most of these units will turn to rentals anyway why not build this one block up just off Yonge on Roehampton? There are a bunch of smaller older apartment buildings there that this could replace without having a negative impact on the area, and it will still be very close to the Yonge Eg transit hub.

Umm, have you seen the Minto square? It is pretty dead no matter what time of day it is. Spin always seems empty, but I assume the starbucks does well (despite having a Tims up the street and another starbucks around the corner).]]>

This is a nice series, but the writers should include the architect, Interior Designer, MEP engineer and structural engineer in the writeup.   It's a little bizarre not to read about any of the design professionals in the description.

As for the location, I know this corner very well.  It's pretty much one of the best served transit intersections in the country.  It is where tall buildings should go.  We went through similar whining with the Minto buildings to the south, which were shortened to the point of looking bulky rather than attractive.  Enough already!]]>

The market is about to take a well deserved dive, and as the market goes down, and interest rates rise to where they should be anyway, buyers will walk in droves.  The project will never see the light of day.  The interest on the downpayments for the builders far exceed the penalty they will eventually pay for returning the 'borrowed' cash to the owners.

The Y&E intersection is already a mess. Three of the corners have bank tenants but only one of those three corners also has street level retail (this is the TD Bank - which will be removed to accommodate this tower). What a Bagel is a ghost town after business hours end, so I'd welcome new tenants that don't go to sleep at 5pm. TD Bank will likely return on the ground floor, in a new renovated space.

None of this is in defence of the E Condos - which are the ugliest buildings I've seen in a long time. They should take note of Minto down the street, which built a beautiful courtyard and two coffee places with always-packed patios (Starbucks and SPIN - both great for the area). This area needs more stuff like this, and hopefully Bazis will build something into the N/E corner.]]>

The design and cost of this building is going in one direction, the condo market the other. On a positive note from an urban sprawl perspective I'd rather have an abandoned hole in the ground than a deserted subdivision. In hindsight this is going to look like a Ryugyong Hotel of an idea. ]]>

Of course many of theses building are badly built. The builders are following Ontario's Minimum Building codes, something they have to do, it's the law. It's the same code that builders use to build all those crappy suburban homes.
Minimum codes means build as cheaply as you can with poorest quality you can get away with.
What you get is all those questionably built homes staked on top of each other.]]>

Major intersections are supposed to be destinations, places people meet and go to. Look at Yonge Dundas, Yonge Queen, University Queen, etc. They have things like major retail and entertainment destinations on them. Housing is supposed to go on the quiet sidestreets in between (e.g. all the other condos in the Yonge Eg area). It keeps the residential area fairly quiet (better for the residents) and leaves the communal spaces open for the community.

Plus if you've ever been to that intersection or lived in the area you'll know that those stores generate a ton of foot traffic and add a lot of life to the area. If you replace all that with a big box store in the pedestal it just kills the intersection.]]>

With developers unable to build a regular cheap condo in Toronto that can't hold it's glass intact, would anyone really trust the same shitty designs holding tons of water and people from certain death?

But I'm sure Toronto has building codes that would prevent that right?  Just ask people walking on Wellington under those glass missiles waiting to fall.

"It's just incredibly stupid to build a huge condo on a major intersection... The condo should be going on a side street nearby, not the intersection itself."

Interesting to see the type of uber-yuppies that will waste good money on these glass-tacular sardine cans. 
I guess builders are under the belief that there are dumb enough people to buy a glass box and are willing to throw away $600+ a month on crap they will not use. 

Good job on making them rich.]]>

That corner currently has some of the best shops for Yonge & Eg: BMV Books, Kitchen Stuff Plus, TD Bank, What a Bagel, just to name a few. Plus directly across the street is the big square, which with this condo will now be in shade most of the day (that side was the last one left without any skyscrapers on it). This condo is going to ruin this intersection.

It's just incredibly stupid to build a huge condo on a major intersection (especially when you have one practically across the street!). That's where retail should be going, not housing. The condo should be going on a side street nearby, not the intersection itself. The pedestal will just be a big Bed Bath and Beyond or something, and won't replace all the amenities it is removing. I hope this project fails and they don't build it.]]>

Maintenance/condo fees are friggin nuts if you have a locker and parking spot. Lets say you have a 700 ft unit w/locker and parking. Monthly cost is $664 plus hydro (probably around $35-40/month) = $$700+. Ouch! And how about a mortgage?
That is the highest monthly parking maintenance fees I have seen to date. I've seen quite a few recent condos which are $30-60/month. Renting a parking spot at a newer and core downtown condo is only $150-170/month. ]]>

Yonge and Eglinton hasn't been "Young and Eligible" since the late 90s. Just stop.

Also, those pools will never be built as is. The Cheapening will occur.]]>
