    Toronto Toronto | 150 Redpath Condominiums | 132.28m | 38s | Freed | a—A

    Yes of course. I think the wrapping has been pulled off now on most of the pieces. Work continues around the footings to secure them in place and clean up the pavers surrounding them.

    Toronto Toronto | Church and Wellesley | 101.78m | 31s | ONE Properties | S9

    The current system is good but there are certain structural issues that make things overly complicated and time consuming. Some tweaks and a couple big moves could have a dramatic impact and actually make the process a whole lot more transparent for both developers and local...

    Toronto Toronto | Bloor & Dufferin | 122.35m | 37s | Hazelview | Turner Fleischer

    I don't think I'd agree. Mid-rises as a product type are riskier to build for a few reasons. First, as a smaller project there is less profit in absolute dollars to be made, and less contingency, and so unforeseen problems have a much greater impact on a mid-rise than a high rise. For...

    Toronto Toronto | Azura Condos | 108.2m | 32s | Capital Developments | Arcadis

    Now 32 floors if mods want to update the thread title.

    Toronto Toronto | Church and Wellesley | 101.78m | 31s | ONE Properties | S9

    IRR. Time is the biggest killer of development projects. Most investors in development projects today are institutional and they care about meeting an internal rate of return. So a 1 year delay on what should be a 5 year project means the project needs to make 15-20% more profit to deliver...

    Toronto Toronto | Bloor Collegiate Replacement School | 16.8m | 4s | Toronto District School Board | Snyder Architects

    The province mandates what can be built in new schools and are creating more flexible spaces now to align with changing educational needs. Auditoriums and pools are often the least used facilities (and most expensive) in schools, so they were probably not deemed to be good uses of public money...

    Toronto Toronto | 64 Prince Arthur | 46.1m | 13s | Forgestone | RAW Design

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this site is located within an apartment neighbourhood. Good news is nobody needs to argue anymore. Sounds like everyone is now on the same page. https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/978e-cp-official-plan-Map-17_LandUse_AODA.pdf

    39 and 40 floors for the tallest towers.

    Toronto Toronto | YC Condos -- Yonge at College | 198.42m | 62s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    This is a huge misconception. Profit margins are reflective of risk. Markets with higher risk, tend to have higher profit margins. Markets like Toronto which are constantly growing, and have a lot of sophisticated developers with deep pockets going after fewer and fewer opportunities (lower...

    Toronto Toronto | CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    What you're referring to are Caisson Walls or Soldier Piles with Lagging. The method used depends on soil type and conditions.

    Toronto Toronto | 155 Redpath Condominiums | 120.39m | 34s | Freed | a—A

    We are making it a priority to bring retail up Redpath and further into the neighbourhood. 155 will have 2 retail units running all the way along the east of Redpath (including a new cafe with a large terrace spilling onto the street), while 150 Redpath will have a large 24 hour diner (with...

    Toronto Toronto | e2 at ePlace | 156.56m | 46s | Capital Developments | TACT Architecture

    The site is actually 39-41 Roehampton, with 25 ft of additional land in the rear parking lot of 50 Eglinton. So the brick building at 50 Eglinton will not be touched. This is a partnership between Metropia and Capital Developments. Architect is Tact. The city will have the submission...

    We actually did a much different window wall system than is typical. We have no spandrel on this building. What you're seeing on the slab edge is a shadow box design. It's actually the same glass as the rest of the window (which is why as you mentioned, it matches so well). As a result...

    Toronto Toronto | 155 Redpath Condominiums | 120.39m | 34s | Freed | a—A

    One thing we really focused on was minimizing mullions as much as possible with the glazing. A horizontal mullion was removed to create a less busy facade, and we focused on ensuring the details of the window wall were well executed. One detail we're still thinking about are the red accent...
