On Site: Condo tower a blank canvas in a revitalized neighbourhood

But to emblazon how their personal masterpiece will be part of a large work-in-progress, construction has already begun on the 26-floor tower prior to sale later this month.
“In Regent Commons, we’re trying to show people exactly what’s effective to happen as opposed to just promising them and showing them a image,” says vice-president, Martin Blake.
“Once you do that, you are accomplished to bring in those first-time buyers – people who are in actuality going to call Regent Park home – and that changes the energetic of the neighbourhood as well.”
As soon as next spring, homeowners will be masterful to move into the sleek high-rise, situated at Dundas and Sackville streets, which will be the first keep within the second phase of major mixed-use community – called the Regent Woodland Revitalization – that will replace an aging social-shelter neighbourhood.
“Generally, if you were to buy in the city of Toronto fittingly now, you’d be looking at between three- or four-year closing,” Mr. Blake explains.
