    Toronto Toronto | College Park Redevelopment | 344.29m | 96s | GWL | Hariri Pontarini

    My take on what’s being said isn’t that buildings that are interesting to look at are bad. I understood it as Toronto uses odd massing, weird balcony and window patterns, and gimmicks in the glazing to create “visual interested” that’s while yet “visually interesting” isn’t actually visually...

    John Street Revitalization

    John Street REVITALIZED Jokes aside, this is actually really nice and should be bare minimum throughout the city. The entire neighbourhood has had a lot of its sidewalks replaced and while they look good for new concrete sidewalks (at least before the saw and asphalt comes out) I wish we took...

    Toronto Toronto | 400 King West | 164.58m | 49s | Plaza | BDP Quadrangle

    This photo doesn’t show it but some pieces of the bronze crown have also gone up. Will try and snag a pic tomorrow!

    Toronto Toronto | Jack Layton Ferry Terminal and Harbour Square Park | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    The city posted a video of the new ferries being built

    Toronto Toronto | 23 Toronto Street | 299.04m | 91s | Goband Investment | SvN

    Looked better with balconies to be honest

    Toronto Bike Share

    The documents linked a few comments up mentions that they’ll start Phase 1 of Bike Angels in the first half of 2027! So still a lot of waiting to do

    Toronto Bike Share

    From my understanding they’re going to bring over the smaller baskets from the current e-bikes. So we won’t be getting the larger basket at all

    Toronto Bike Share

    The 2026 Bike Share Operating Plan (PDF) gives us our first look at the new e-bikes coming this year, unfortunately the document says they're bringing the "smaller baskets" from the old e-bikes to deter tandem riding. Absolutely ridiculous that we can't even fit a gym bag into these baskets just...

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 351.85m | 106s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Not to be pedantic but I’m pretty sure this render actually shows the TMD will be exposed but it won’t be as obvious as we think it’ll be. I wish it was fully enclosed with decorative crown and lighting though.

    TTC: Streetcar Network

    I’ve always wondered why we needed such complicated ramps. The buses in Hong Kong just does a simple 180 flip that the operator opens and closes.

    Toronto Toronto | 55 Yonge | 232.86m | 68s | H&R REIT | PARTISANS

    I mean, ask Dream and Mizrahi how it’s going. For the record, I very much wish beautiful buildings/spaces were valued more in our country.

    Toronto Toronto | AGO: Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary Gallery | 48.35m | 6s | AGO | Selldorf

    Pretty sure all the PoMo elements were removed in the Gehry expansion, they were mostly on the Dundas side. I saw pics of it at a TSO trivia-night and it was really quite an…. Interesting sight to behold

    Toronto Toronto | AGO: Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary Gallery | 48.35m | 6s | AGO | Selldorf

    I’ve been struggling for half an hour now to find all the facades the AGO has gone through, I can’t believe how hard it is! After the 1918 Beax Arts building, there was a brutalist expansion in 1973 by John C Perkins, then there was a post-modern renovation in 1993 by Barton Myers, until...

    The Well (retail)

    They’ll have one a block north of The Well at King and Brant. Far enough to not really be competition for The Well, close enough that they wouldn’t open another location there

    TTC: Streetcar Network

    Four intersections in that stretch that will be replaced with outdated switches (I assume)?
