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

    What a shame. Nothing ruins a design for me more than a big clunky mechanical box that looks tacked on to the top of a tower. Makes the whole thing look ramshackle. I can't imagine it's much of a challenge in terms of architecture or cost to obscure them with a parapet.

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

    It gives me the impression of an office tower that could have been built in 1975, and I mean that as a compliment.

    Do we know if the crown will include a parapet to hide the mechanical box?

    Waterfront Transit Reset Phase 1 Study

    Do we know if this intended to be more of a streetcar like St. Clair, or more of an LRT like Eglinton?

    Toronto Toronto | Concord Sky | 300.2m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    That's odd... based on the renders, I'd expected the setback to be more pronounced.

    Toronto Toronto | 18 Dalhousie | 200.95m | 61s | Pemberton | Graziani + Corazza

    They're certainly not going to sell units at Church & Queen at the same rate that they could at Yorkville. Shouldn't we be expecting quality more in line with something like Time & Space here?

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle Lakeside Phase 2 | 226.35m | 70s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    This reminds me of an overly busy and slightly deflated Marina City. It's going to come down to the execution/materials.

    Toronto Toronto | Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Peterson | Henriquez Partners

    I appreciate the warm welcome back! I haven't really gone anywhere but the rigours of life have definitely drawn my attention away over the last few years. You can expect to see me around more often going forward.

    Well KFC has been trying to push new growth in the GTA recently...

    Toronto Toronto | Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Peterson | Henriquez Partners

    It's got over 40M users, and they're not mostly bots unlike Twitter/X.

    Vaughan Toronto | CG Tower | 188.97m | 60s | Cortel Group | BDP Quadrangle

    It sticks out in the way I imagine TD Centre stuck out in downtown Toronto when it was first built. Perhaps in 60 years these photos of Vaughan's skyline will look quaint.

    Toronto Toronto | Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Cleaning this facade would be an interesting process, given all the folds.
