Former Toronto Industrial Site Transforming into Beautiful 1.9-Acre Public Park Toronto residents can look forward to a new public park along the waterfront in the Port Lands, offering incredible views of the city skyline. Located on the Martin Goodman Trail, Leslie Slip Lookout Park will be a key feature along the Leslie Street Green Portal an emerging north-south green corridor linking to the entrance of Tommy Thompson Park.... The nearly two-acre park, which is being built on a former industrial site, will be home to a sandy beach, distinguished by forested dunes that will create a new multi-use community destination in Toronto’s east end. These type of projects are much needed in Toronto as it will allow for the mix of developing land to bring some much needed green space. I am glad to hear that the portlands are being redeveloped as it’s such a beautiful space that is needing a little love. #torontoportlands #torontoparks #torontonewdevelopment #torontolove #realwithleca

Torontonians Can't Decide How They Feel About High Park's Unusual-Looking Barrel House It’s an unusual home tucked away on a small street near High Park that is drawing some attention and mixed opinions on its design. The narrow but tall home at 72 Abbott Ave in Toronto is known as the Barrel House and while it has been part of neighbourhood walking tours, not much has been written about the place.... A member of the Weird Toronto Facebook group posted a photo of the home and many people commented on it. "Always loved that house," one person wrote, while another went as far as to say it was "the kind of thing that makes me wish I were an architect." However, another commented that it "Looks like a subway entrance," while another post compared it to a porta potty. Let me know what your thoughts on the home are? #highparkhomes #barrelhouse #torontoarchitecture #torontohome #realwithleca

It’s Time To Jazz Up That Condo Pillar Many condos are built as corner units with open and airy living areas flanked by walls of windows, providing the illusion of enhanced space and basking in natural light. For most condo dwellers there is a trade off for that airiness and light. It’s the load bearing pillars that sit in the corners and perhaps along the windowed wall. Square or round, the pillars are just, well, there, in all their glory. ... Why not use their surfaces as a blank canvas to add a ‘wow’ factor to your space! Given that these same condos designs offer little wall space in the living area in which to paint or hang art, pillars provide a great surface to make a design statement, personalize, and give your condo some character. Below are some ideas, using a variety of materials, to pique your interest: + Paint - go bold + Wallpaper - add your personality + Mirror - short width long striped mirror + Tile - small squared glass, mirror or stone tiles + TV Wall Mount - there are some on the market made specific for condo pillar To be quite honest with you, any creative idea would be better then leaving the eye sore in the room as is. Make it a apart of your living space and you will come to love the added new look. It’s not going anywhere so why not have fun with it. Just don’t go poking holes into it as you don’t want the pillar to lose any of its strength as it’s is load bearing so it’s vital to the integrity of the building. #torontocondos #torontocondo #torontocondominium #torontodecor #torontocondodecor #realwithleca

Working From Home Is Starting To Fall Apart, Top Bankers Warn Senior bankers are sounding the alarm: working from home is at risk of not working anymore. I don’t think it’s sustainable, Barclays Plc Chief Executive Officer Jes Staley said Tuesday at the World Economic Forum. JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s asset- and wealth-management boss, Mary Erdoes, agreed.... In the corporate world, if you ask anyone today, it feels like it is fraying, it’s hard, it takes a lot of inner strength and sustainability every single day to continue to focus and to not have the energy you get from being around other people, she said. It will increasingly be a challenge to maintain the culture and collaboration that these large financial institutions seek to have and should have. said Staley. He predicted that more people would come back to offices to work, but with flexibility to work from home. Erdoes said executives believed that part of the initial success of working from home was due to adrenalin from having to adapt so quickly. Erdoes, citing a conversation a JPMorgan strategist had with drugmaker Moderna Inc., said it’s possible that COVID-19 could persist for a long time amid mutating strains and instead of more videoconferencing, the world is going to have to open up. This conversation playing out in the world forums is an everyday occurs and conversation I have with clients looking to move away from City into Small Towns. While the appeal is differently there you just got to hold up one min before you just take a huge leap like this. Things will eventually open up and the move just might end up being the wrong move for you. I am always open to a constructive conversation if your up to it. Let’s find out if you are doing it for the right reasons or if you just might need a different space nearby. #torontowork #torontohome #timeforchange #torontoworkfromhome #realwithleca
