Mere Posting OntarioOk, well not really, but Tourist will love L Tower when it's complete it's curving mass on full display when entrants to the city emerge from the hallowed halls of Union Station. A reminder of the current Condo Boom that is transforming Toronto from a small provincial town, into a Global Construction, economic, and manufacturing powerhouse. Currently the tower is up about 55 floors. It has another 2 more floors to go, then the construction of the mechanical penthouse will begin and the curve will be complete. This is by far the most intriguing design that is coming out of the current condo boom. Looking forward with pride to watching this one take it's place in the current Toronto skyline.
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.
