Have you seen the floor plans for this place? GOD AWFUL! You basically have no choice but to cook in your living room... wow totally uninspired!

At least the building looks nice from the outside though.

They don't even have a kitchen island to separate the kitchen appliances from the living area.

I think most of these condos are being bought by investors who don't plan to live in them but will rent them out and sell them once the prices "skyrocket."

COOKING IN YOUR LIVING AREA OF AN OPEN CONCEPT APARTMENT? What will they think of next. Yawn, just don't buy one. Obviously some people don't care (probably because some people don't cook)...

Phase 3 rebranding?

I'm guessing "Hideaway: The final phase at Central" is the rebranding of Central 3?

http://hideawayatcentral.ca/

Right now the website is just a signup screen.

Pic of new sign up at Central 1 site to follow.

I looked at the Central 2 site but there wasn't any progress worth capturing. Mostly it's a storage area for bricks and other stuff for Central 1 right now.

I can admit when I'm wrong. I was sceptical about this project, but I am impressed at how well it integrates into the existing neighbourhood, and then takes it up a few notches. Driving out of downtown along Bank street, the building really polishes everything up well.

Being there really has a good feeling to it, but then traffic of all types is really quiet due to construction just down the street, so I'm still not completely convinced that this is a place personally would want to be.

Great job and great addition to our city!

i'm also very happy with the way it integrates. the red brick touches really match the neighbourhood. i'm only worried about how the ground floor will be...will their be retail? i used to have a loft in the east market by the same company and there were three little storefronts on york, a little one on george but the entire cumberland face was garages and ugly utility connections and walls, totally ruined a block of the market.
