    Toronto Toronto | 6464 Yonge | ?m | 50s | Revenue Properties Company | Turner Fleischer

    "Revenue Properties" sounds like something an AI would come up with. Why don't they just call themselves "Profit Corp."?

    Toronto Toronto | Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    That's not an ad by Concord. It's just some random broker (dolphin realty?) that likely doesn't care what the tower actually looks like.

    Toronto Toronto | Theory Condos | 101.49m | 30s | Parallax | Arcadis

    I know it's not a popular opinion, but I like this one. The detailing and materials might be lacking, but at a glance the overall design gesture is clean, sharp and clearly communicated.

    Toronto Toronto | The Pemberton | 215.79m | 68s | Pemberton | a—A

    It's indeed a bit odd when you think of it that way, but I'll take it over a tacky and totally meaningless name like "Time & Space".

    Jasonzed - Jason Zytynsky Tribute and Photography Award

    Just wanted to pass on my condolences to Jason's family. I always looked forward too seeing his great photos.

    Toronto Toronto | Rise Condos | 76.5m | 23s | Reserve Properties | Graziani + Corazza

    Russian School of Math is going in on the Bathurst side, and A&W is going in on the St. Clair side.

    Toronto Toronto | Wellesley on the Park | 194.15m | 60s | Lanterra | KPMB

    The juxtaposition of red brick and glass towers in these photos is giving me strong Distillery District vibes.

    Toronto Toronto | Theory Condos | 101.49m | 30s | Parallax | Arcadis

    I must be a philistine because I like the look of this one. No horizontal mullions, no spandrel glass on the tower, solid (i.e. non-glass) materials, dark colour, simple design gesture... solid B+ in my opinion.

    Toronto Toronto | The HUB | 258.46m | 59s | Oxford Properties | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    Last I heard they were close to securing an anchor, but that was about a year ago. Who knows what's happened since?

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

    Yup, that's a different project, owned by Project Core. M+G is Great Gulf's baby now.

    Toronto Toronto | Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    Pretty sure it's a parody account.

    OMB Reform

    Whoa...

    Toronto Toronto | The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    I'm truly mystified by how this news could have elicited such a negative reaction from some here. I've never seen a development (other than ones with horrid designs) attract such relentless skepticism and hate.

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

    It's an unusual project.

    Toronto Toronto | Minto Yorkville Park Condos | 75.89m | 25s | Minto Group | IBI Group

    I thought this might start to look better as it got taller, but I was wrong.

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    This is not cheap retail space. Don't be surprised that it takes a long time to lease.

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

    Just because you can't think of a reason, doesn't mean there isn't a very good reason. The realities of building, selling and financing something of this magnitude are complex and not typically publicized. It's disingenuous for you to push the narrative that Great Gulf has been sitting on their...

    Toronto Toronto | 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    For what it's worth, I've heard from decent sources that they're close to locking down an anchor for the Hub.

    Toronto Toronto | 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    It's not immediately evident but this will actually be the tallest office tower to go up in Toronto since Scotia Plaza in 1988.
