The Scott (59-65 Weber E) | 11 fl | Complete
Wow some of these floor plans are strange. Matthew North could have fun fixing those up: https://www.instagram.com/matthew.north/

I think the only odd part is doing it in a 2 bedroom. It's been done before locally, though normally in a 1 bedroom, and definitely seen it in Toronto.

Some of the tiny Charlie West 1 bedroom units have the bedroom at the back of the unit, with a window to the living/dining/kitchen, and then the living room is up front at the windows. In a tiny layout, with very little exterior wall, it makes sense IMO. I'd rather have windows in the room I spend time in when it's light out, and there's no privacy issue for the bedroom in a 1 bedroom.

Doing it in a two bedroom is pretty unusual though. I feel like maybe they were originally thinking a 1bd + den, but then wanted to make it a legal bedroom too.

I wonder if the door to a “cheater” ensuite could count as a 2nd exit.

Focus is now on the interior work.

I'm quite surprised how decent this turned out for being so modest in design and material. It's simple but in a good way.

This time I do agree with you. Smile

I agree that it looks nice, though it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what is different about it than many other similar structures. I feel like it could just as easily have turned out ugly.

It's a W - at least from the outside - so I'll take it! Which corner is this exactly?

Turns out you can design a nice looking rental apartment. Maybe Auburn and Drewlo should take note.

And my guess is prices will still be in line with the rest of the market

Guess?  Any reason why they wouldn’t be?

Are people now moving in?

Edit:  I mean The Scott across the street.

Maybe. Things aren't quite 100% complete yet (see photos) but the doors and fob readers are installed. The intercom is there but only has G&A Lock listed so far. Smile
