    Yorkdale Shopping Centre

    The unfortunate part of it is that there are so few upper end department stores available to fill that big a space that RioCan's task (finding a suitable large tenant) is practically impossible. I wonder if it's possible for Holt Renfrew to terminate its Yorkdale lease and move into the bigger...

    Got it - the blue unpaid corridor on the map above.

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 + GO: Kennedy Station | ?m | 1s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    In Vancouver, for TransLink's Compass card, if you tap in and tap out at the same station within 21 minutes, the fare is reversed - so you can walk into or through a station and out without paying a fare.

    The vents are at the top of a level just before a setback, so they kinda look like a cornice element. I think they would have been worse if placed on the Yonge side in the middle.

    Toronto Toronto | Toronto House | 186.53m | 58s | Allied | Hariri Pontarini

    Westbank sold its interest to Allied, who is now selling the whole building.

    Anyone else think that there's crappy wayfinding in the main entry? You shouldn't have to turn your head 360 degrees to figure out which way to go. ... and the turnstile sign omits GO. Should be more like this:

    Toronto Toronto | U of T: Temerty Building | ?m | 11s | U of T | MVRDV

    At least the corners are curved, so those relate to Convocation Hall. And the height of the podium facing King's College Circle and its vertical elements relate to the height and columns of the colonnade at Convocation Hall.

    Thanks for the pics! Looks like the height of the panels above and below windows on the residential floors will be narrower, to allow bigger windows. On the taller floors below, the width of the vertical and horizontal panels looked the same. These look narrower/shorter.

    The back side also looks pretty haphazard. It looks like they are trying to match the old MacLean Hunter wing to the new part. Also, they should wrap the south facade around the back so it doesn't look like facadism. But that may be the intent since that south facade would have been intended to...

    On the east side, that cladding will go up to the 17th floor, 18th floor will have a roof deck, then there will be a partial wrap around balcony on the east side from 19th floor all the way up to the 77th floor, then curtain wall the rest of the way up. The west side looks like it will be all...

    That may be the first panel on a regular residential ceiling height floor.
