    Toronto Toronto | Kazmir Condos | 28.95m | 8s | Lormel Homes | RAW Design

    Thanks, but don't worry about it! Home to lots of people now... retail to come! 42

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor West | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

    There are a number of them now. Can't remember them all. One Bloor East has one. Pretty sure it's the slosh tank type. IIRC the Massey Tower has one. There are others. 42

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

    Yes to both. The sweeping curves will disappear, replaced by more normal left turn lanes at normalized intersections, and the leftover land at the northwest corner of Yonge and Harbour and the southeast corner of Yonge and Lake Shore will become pedestrian plazas. We haven't seen final plans for...

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

    This section will also be part of Downes Street, so that Harbour doesn't suddenly need to be Harbour West and Harbour East with it crossing Yonge. 42

    It's been noted again and again in this thread that sales for Phase 3 have not started. 42

    Seismic attenuation in buildings starts below ground level though, so while a TMD would play some role in an earthquake, more is going on down below to keep everything up in the air during an earthquake, including that TMD! 42

    When the media was up there several months ago for the 300m celebration, there was no noticeable sway. There was also no wind. When we went up Pinnacle's SkyTower more recently for the 100 storeys celebration, there was no noticeable sway. There was some wind. 42

    20 storeys originally is twisting on a dusty cobweb in my brain. 42

    Toronto Toronto | Guildwood TOC | 192.75m | 60s | Infrastructure ON | Zeidler

    Database file is now attached up top, and we have a front page story up with the details on this six-tower proposal. Design by Zeidler for Infrastructure Ontario. 42

    Ontario Science Centre

    The Science Centre, (with tons of embodied carbon that should have ensured some tens of millions were spent to upgrade it, not the hundreds of millions it will take to move it), was located where two new rapid transit lines will soon have stations... but it needed to be relocated to be better...

    I thumbed up Richard's post for the Summerhill reference, not the Guildwood one. If this train is heading for Peterborough next, then stations along the CP North Toronto and Belleville subdivisions make a lot of sense. For those claiming that the service wouldn't work if it doesn't go direct to...

    Dupont Station accessibility project (TTC)

    I know that taste is subjective… …and the artwork itself is fine and I suspect the artist chose the wall tile colour as it actually picks up a major colour from one section of the artwork… …but wrong, so, so WRONG. 🤢 42

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor West | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

    No. Many people are hoping that Apple will negotiate a lease with the new ownership: they still need a flagship store in this city, the space was designed for them in the first place, and it's both one that very few other retailers would be able to take best advantage of, or even afford. Don't...

    Toronto Toronto | 100 Bond | ?m | 21s | Cedar Podium | Arcadis

    TMU's primary colour is pretty close to the IKEA blue. It appears here and there across the campus, this isn't the first place. (Not to say that I find there to be anything redeeming about this plan, don't mistake my defence of blue or my posting of the images as an endorsement.) 42
