From nut and bolt plant to high-rise on Swansea Works lands





From the beautiful Stelco parts plants on the Swansea Works lands we now have this rather good-looking building. The views from the suites must be great both towards the lake and the city core.

This author views it as a great addition to the community and the beach-scape and could only be made better by the addition of some light engineering making or manufacturing on the ground levels. :-)

  1. The mix of quasi-traditional townhouses and modern glass condominium towers is jarring. Also, to anyone who claims that streetcars promote Queen Street style development, I present this site as a counterpoint. Where's the retail?
