ICE Construction Update - November 21st 2012
Here is the latest from the ICE Development by Lanterra at the corner of Bremner Blvd, and York Street by the CN Tower, ACC and Skydome. This picture is of the tower which will evenutally be the tallest tower on the block. It is currently the shorter tower, as the ICE West ha already reached the 49th floor. This tower looks to be up about 25 floors or so, so it still has about 42 to 43 more floors to go, if the mechanical levels are included. The ICE Towers were designed by the Toronto firm Architects Alliance better known by their nom de voyage : aA.
To the south of this project, Tridel has met with great sales success with their 10 York Development, selling out 88% percent of their first run units. That means this will shortly become the busiest construction intersection in all of Canada. As Menkes is also planning on Starting the Monster Development Harbour Plaza Estates next month, building the office tower, and two condo towers, (which are massive by the way) all on spec. Judging by the sales at Tridel, Menkes probably has little to worry about with regards to the condo sales. And Toronto's office market sitting at just 5% should be enough to protect them from disaster as building on spec usually leads to companies going under (bankrupt) or worst!

The Toronto Condo Boom
Within the past 15 years downtown Toronto has been transformed by the largest urban construction wave since the 1920s and 30's Manhattan building spree that created the likes of the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. Toronto's boom is profound and has lead great and not so great minds to ponder the impact of hundreds of towers and skyscrapers built within the core within a short period of time. There are benefits, yes and there are also concerns of capacity and infrastructure. Which takes precedent? A mobile car free workforce, none transit dependent young professionals or an ageing underground sewer and transit infrastructure that can't keep pace. There's no easy choice I guess, choose one or the other, no in between. Doesn't have to be that way I hope. Look south to that future island in the sea, to see our future. No doubt.
