• "Pier 27 launches new Waterlink Tower - Phase 2 of one of the city's best waterfront projects". (2008, 7 July). The Condo Guide.

  “There will never again be anything like Pier 27,” says Danny Salvatore, President of Fernbrook Homes, which with Cityzen Developments Group, is developing Pier 27.

  Designed by renowned architect Peter Clewes of Architects Alliance, the twin 12-storey steel and glass towers are joined by a bridge at their summit and set amidst lavishly landscaped grounds reminiscent of southern resort properties.

  Suites range from 550-sq.-ft., one-bedroom models, right up to expansive 1,721-sq.-ft. executive residences

  Again designed by architect Peter Clewes, it combines living sculpture with deep insight into the Pier 27 lifestyle and offers a series of tableaus – vignettes of kitchens and baths – created by designers Munge and Leung to show just how special life at Pier 27 can be.

• Byers, Jim. (2007, 12 May). "`Cool project' or another affront on waterfront?". Toronto Star.

  The former Marine Terminal 27 site at the foot of Yonge St. is poised to see construction begin on a project the developers hope will eventually total five buildings with 1,500 to 2,000 units.

  "Obviously, I'm biased, but I think it's a really cool project," said architect Peter Clewes of Architects Alliance. "If it sells well – which I think it will because it's an extraordinary property – they would start construction very quickly."

  A sales centre is to go up soon, with marketing to start early this summer and construction of the first phase over the next 2 1/2 years, Clewes said.

  The first phase, totalling 477 units, consists of:

  Two 12-storey buildings connected by a two-storey bridge on top, on the Yonge St. side of the property, beside Captain John's restaurant.

  A 14-storey building running alongside the Redpath sugar refinery on the east side of the site, basically from the water to Queens Quay. The building would have condos overlooking downtown.

  Because rezoning permissions have already been granted, the current developers, Cityzen and Fernbrook Homes, need only site plan approval. Those issues are to go to a committee of adjustment hearing on July 4.
