It was a a bit rainy the other day and we thought, what better day to make a visit to St. Lawrence Market? So we headed on down to the neighbourhood to check out the latest things the market has to offer!

Library district

Hello hello from Library District!  Since we last saw each other, it was around the end of the fake apocalypse and the 11th floor was being poured. Since then, we’ve gained 3 floors, Windows, and the beginning of framing is underway on the lower floors.  Follow past the jump for more!

We were hanging out having lunch in the St Lawrence Market earlier this week and thought, “you know, let’s just see what’s going on at Market Wharf”.

We’d like to start off 2013 by doing something a bit different. Yes we will still have construction updatesamusing and hopefully, informative posts about Toronto and it’s history. But our resolution was to inject a little more…Culture into this blog.

As you’re probably aware, we at Context are avid readers – not just the classics though, we’re pretty up to date on some current books as well! Recently we got our “geek” on to check out some recent sci-fi novels. Head past the jump for Context book reviews of The Postmortal By Drew Magary and Ready, Player One by Ernest Cline.

Library District

Library District is going up pretty quickly. It seems only a few weeks ago we were on the 8th floor, now we’re pouring the 11th! Have a look at what’s going on around the site this month!

Market Wharf

We’ve been making regular visits to Market Wharf for the past couple of months, but this time it’s different — It’s personal. Wait, you’re saying this isn’t a movie trailer? Oh, okay we’ll tone it down a bit.

Anyway, we’re really excited to show you how much we’ve done to get everything ready for occupancy in the new year. Heck, we’ve even removed the giant crane a few weeks ago! That’s big, as in “we’ll be done soon” big.  Exciting stuff right?

Anyway, come with us on a fantastical journey through Market Wharf as it’s going through it’s final phases of construction:

It’s been quite some time since we last visited Library District . We mean, it’s not like we’re avoiding it, we’ve just been…you know, busy with other stuff. We’ve been meaning to call though, we promise.

We have another model suite to show you this week! Here we have the Market Wharf 1 Bedroom + den water suite on the 6th floor, right next to the amenities facility.

When we first enter the unit we’re greeted with a large living/ dining area. The TV is  right behind that plant thing, we swear.

At long last, the big reveal!  We stopped in at Market Wharf to take a look at the recently completed model suites on the 6th floor. This unit features granite countertops, hardwood floors, ultra-modern appliances and TONS of natural light. Follow past the jump for more pictures of this ultra-modern slice of downtown life.
