I'm in no rush to see the Shoppers go. Maybe with a bit of a pause in the market and construction here, we'll get something a bit different than its adjacent peers in the future.

It's not just the unit to elevator ratio. Taller buildings mean longer wait times, which is why some of us older folks don't like to live in tall buildings...

Nobody does heritage like Toronto, which is probably not a bad thing...

I'd be interested to know what the premium is for the 1 parking spot...

A large project without massive podiums gets points in my book. Enjoy the colour play. Yes towers particularly the rectangular one a bit blocky.

One has to admire the suspended slabs with columns in tension...

In my opinion a good location to put a sizeable tower. Firstly, the location falls into the vast area of metro where the current structures, if demolished, would be of no great loss to the neighbourhood, at least from an architectural perspective. Secondly, I'm in favour of spreading newly...

My son lives in the area. They cancelled the 144 downtown express bus during covid. While I'm all for urban renewal and increasing density, currently adding people here means adding cars to the city's roads in disproportionate numbers. I would like to see some increased master planning...

Now that's what I call a reno... Seriously though folks, retaining 3/4 of the exterior of one of yesteryear's finest, whilst repurposing really the best of both worlds. I look forward to seeing this one's new elements mixed with old.

Not by the Ontario Building code. Bricks may be used for load bearing wall systems, glass blocks can not, or at least that was the case when I retired.

I'm kind of scratching my head with the new brick and the heritage portion here. The new brick in my opinion works well with the upper metal section, and I wouldn't expect them to fully mimic heritage but ....

That's a lot of ifs, I honestly doubt Stollerys would have obtained heritage status without some major pushback, and if it did, some type of agreement with the city would have been reached by developers being on the corner of the most transit centric intersection in the country. Let's remember...

We also end up with of lot of new "crap". I think many would agree the heritage here was poorly executed. I would have liked to have seen the building moved to the southern property line. Older exterior clay brick walls can have dismal recovery rates of usable brick. The bricks simply are...

IMO an excellent edgy photo Rascacielo. The galvanized metal fencing grays in the foreground really compliment the towers.

Supply has increased, demand has softened partially for the reason you have mentioned C-mac, plus we are flirting with a recession. I don't think there are many other cities in North America putting up large office towers such as CIBC2, so I think we can count ourselves lucky for 3 major 200m...
