    Man, that is utterly offensive. A weird fortress mentality.

    I think if it did the offset thing once every four or five floors it would actually work. This way, it's needlessly busy. But I do like the cladding nonetheless.

    I mildly disagree. Oben Flats' brickwork is elegantly austere - that's one of my favorite modern buildings in Leslieville. But yeah, this one remains a sweet, clean project that fits into the streetscape very nicely.

    Aaaaand edible correctness rears its ugly head.

    Toronto Toronto | 309 Cherry Street | 151.35m | 47s | Castlepoint Numa | SvN

    It'll be weird until it's not. I recently found this grainy old photograph taken of the railway lands by my late brother, sometime in the late 70s or very early 80s. At one point this too was a pretty unremarkable slice of Toronto. All living cities are, to a degree, in a natural state of flux...

    Toronto Toronto | Gerrard-Carlaw South TOC: Dickens Block | 130.83m | 39s | Infrastructure ON | SvN

    Yeah, I dig that too. I like such little reminders that the city has a past.

    It was only a matter of time when something of this scale was doing to be announced. That area has been low-hanging fruit for quite some time now and the advent of the Ontario Line is the key impetus.

    Toronto Toronto | Basin Media Hub | 21m | 5s | Hackman Capital Partners | SOM

    Seems to me that people have differing standards of what constitutes creature comforts - most of the guys who have lived in trailers parked on Unwin and elsewhere in the Portlands seemed to me to be pretty happy to have their little hidey-holes on wheels.

    QA's shining white bulk and staggered profile will look striking from a certain distance. But the closer you get to that cladding, the clumsier it looks.

    I expect these two developments will deffo drive up local foot traffic and help incite new businesses along the strip. Should be a good economic shot in the arm for the area overall.

    Just drove pas the fire hall an hour ago, wanted to show my wife how profoundly the area has changed - she was wondering what's to become of the fire hall. Many of the old buildings she once worked in as a scenic painter have been razed and she was marveling at the transition. Overall, she was...

    Fantastic series of photos. Drove through the Portlands for the first time a few days ago. The bridges are great. Having Cherry re-aligned and being able to boost east along Commish again... very cool. Can't wait to see the area blossom over the next few months and years.

    Toronto Toronto | Basin Media Hub | 21m | 5s | Hackman Capital Partners | SOM

    You'd be surprised, then. I've known of carps and grips who live we;; outside of the GTA who have parked trailers/motorhomes on Basin Street so that they'd not have to commute during a production contract - cheap living, rent-free. Not for everyone, natch, and this kind of thing is going to go...
