A website check out to the neighborhood and model suite of One Park Place Condos South Tower by Daniels.  Uploading ....New building remains to transform Regent Park. The mix consists of reconnected roads, an injection of market condos, contemporary TCHC accommodations, gleaming new and renovated community arts, recreation, and academic facilities. Their look over the last couple of years means that the location's battered credibility is quick becoming a extinction.
The first phase of One Park Place, The Daniels Corporation's 4th market condo in Regent Park, features a 25-storey Hariri Pontarini-designed tower rising from a podium which integrates retail, workplace and domestic uses atop two levels of underground parking. We stopped by the white aluminum, glass, and brick-clad development at the southwest corner of Dundas St. East and the recently minted Regent Park Boulevard earlier today to take a appearance at the project and its current construction progress.
At ground level, we notice the red brick-finished podium which pays homage to the likewise clad Peter Dickinson-designed apartment blocks that once occupied the site. The remaining Dickinson buildings behind us will soon come down too: retrofitting them to meet present Ontario Building regulations requirements and today's expectations has actually been considered alongside impossible.
One Park Place's most talked-about feature is the cladding of its tower, which shuns the floor-to-celing wall-to-wall windows which we see on most brand-new Toronto condominiums, for a cladding system of which just 45 % of the structure's outside is vision glass. Below the bulk of the cladding is insulated wall, provided on the exterior as white back-painted glass spandrel panels framed by aluminum mullions, the vertical among which extend 5 inches from the wall. The mullions give depth and meaning to the exterior, while the enhanced wall area produces a more energy efficient building.
The inside of the units are still filled with light, while offering locals the a lot even more wall space to hang art on. This system continues to be unfinished obviously, with much still to be done consisting of completing the ceiling.
Another significant feature of One Park Place is its big podium, including the expansive rooftop yard and deck locations. With only the first phase of the job constructed up until now, we can see that the podium amenity areas are going to be very spacious.
One floor above, One Park Place will provide homeowners gardening plots. Daniels has actually seen demand for these increase in the their latest tasks, so One Park Place will have the most garden plots in a Daniels job yet. They will allow building residents to grow their own fresh produce obviously, an task typically reserved for owners of single family homes with lawns.
Our see needed to include the upper floors naturally. The following two images reveal future unit areas on the 24th floor, and provide you an concept of exactly what the back of the insulated wall sections look like prior to the drywall increases.
Getting to the roofing, we are greeted by a reflective metal-clad mechanical box, as well as a last possibility opportunity to absorb the wide-open rooftop views before the cladding system is installed on the projecting fins; this uppermost level will be surrounded by the exact same vision glass/spandrel glass/aluminum mullion mix as the remainder of the tower.
To the north, the view is dominated by the 1947-built John E. Hoare Jr.-designed low-rise apartments of Regent Park North, quickly to be redeveloped in subsequent stages of the Regent Park Revitalization Plan.
At the bottom of the picture below, we can see the just recently completed Regent Park Aquatic Centre, as well as the website of the future 6-acre neighborhood park to its left. The aquatic center's brown roofing system will quickly be green, having been recently grown.
Aiming to the northwest, we can see the under-construction 78-storey Aura dominating the horizon of the Yonge and College location, with the recently finished Sick Kids Study Tower noticeable to the far left.
Though the views in all instructions were gorgeous to state the least, the view looking southwest towards the downtown core would most precisely be described with one word-- renowned. The hazy climatic conditions that day integrated with the conical tapered skyline of our downtown core, evokes an image the same as that of a distant mountain towering above a town.
Looking down we see the just recently reopened play field at Nelson Mandela Park Public College in use for a game. The location simply south of the playing field and adjacent to the institution will soon be the new home of the Regent Park Area Centre.
Looking straight down to the south we get a look at the pit where the 2nd phase of One Park Place is now under building.
The 2nd phase will include a 30-storey south tower, taller than but matching the design of the north tower, while the development's podium will be extended likewise. While phase 2 is built, the cinder block walls that temporarily seal off the first stage, visible in the image below, will boil down to join the whole development into one.
