6 towers in total, at UT there's a report of one being 42 stories.

background pics on website make the buildings look similar to the 360. heres hoping they are.

That park is fantastic! If the rest of the project is that nice Scarborough is getting a real gem.

Not sure where 42 came from?

I wonder if any on street retail will be part of this development.

The park is awesome. I hope that the development by Amacon in Mississauga has a park as nice as this!

very nice, especially the buildings in the far right of the picture.

The development looks nice and all, but it's really sort of disconnected with the rest of the ****. Are those podiums going to have retail, or is this just a fancy 'gated community' type development that won't do anything more than just a park to encourage people living in those towers to actually stroll around from time to time?

[Jaye101]

It does look disconnected from the city. This isn't the way intensification should be executed.

The first phase of Metrogate, Solaris, will be 40 storeys tall.

the site itself is disconnected being surrounded by a 14 lane highway and two rail corridors so an urban site plan maybe expecting too much .

P.S. the podium for the first phase is an above ground garage facing the 401
