Happy to see they added 2 bedroom units to the project. I really didn't understand why they didn't have them in the first place!

I also went to visit Upperwest. I really like the suites they're offering, many seem to be quite spacious and have decently sized balconies with great views.

I really like this building and the units they offered. They're rather spacious and have really great views all around (although I'd rather a southern view, which is also the one with the two units that merged with a smaller middle one).

I don't know if this is mentioned in this thread, but the floorplans on the wall said that this was new, but they have two-storey townhouses in the bottom of the podium, with a private yard. Above it, though, in the podium is an above-ground parking garage (they said they won't be digging a deep hole).

They hope to break ground this fall, and be complete by 2015.

I brought my mother along to UpperWest and the Rhombus, as she's looking to sell her house soon to buy a condo and wanted to see what they will look like. She like UpperWest more because for the price it was offering, the rooms were spacious enough. And that is something because she is very skeptical about all the buildings going up (she is a NIMBY that I'm working on reforming) and complains about condos being too expensive, but this one was she really likes everything.
