Looks like they're putting the elevator in next door. Single dwelling, 4 (I think?) stories. I dunno but it'd just feel weird getting in an elevator in your home (unless mobility concerns etc.). I have no idea what sort of person would live in that sorta place. Thankfully it's to the south.

Renderings are up... Fuckn' wild:

This just looks like any other new build in a upper-class area, extremely boring. And I'm guessing some heritage home was knocked down so we could have this beauty? Money doesn't buy taste.

Having lined parking spaces in your own garage, what a luxury

What I find most absurd is the fact this that an under-construction private residence has its own website

Spending that amount of $ you'd probably want some say in the design. These guys just build it then see who bites I guess. Risky model imo.

That joint has less personality than a shopping centre.
