If this had been released in 2018 and the 2018 render was released now, I bet people would be just as critical this time around because of the expectation that each iteration will be a downgrade. It's obviously hard to tell what exactly the building will be like at this stage but I, for one, am...

I really do like the intensification for the area (and that it leaves Boo's alone) but is it viable considering East Junction Condos' struggles? I know they're reviving that project now but that's a lot of new condos for a small area. Also, the city/TTC is going to have to really figure out a...

What are you talking about? Every bit of information we have has indicated that it'll be privately funded.

Even if they do have to miss some time due to construction, 3 seasons sounds like a gross overstatement. From an article today on The Athletic re: Where will the Jays play during renovations?: "While we don’t have precise answers, we can look at how the St. Louis Cardinals handled the building...

It's great stadium but weather in April (and late March?!) has been pretty brutal for rain delays though I guess the Tigers have been fine with Comerica. I'd hope the new stadium can be a have a modern retractable roof with nice sightlines. It definitely seems doable with Miller Park being a...

This is pretty great news. It is plausible that the redevelopment could include a park over the tracks that connects to the CIBC tower?

Someone canvassed our house yesterday with updated drawings for this site. Limen was still listed as the developer.

If we're looking to repurpose the space by adding a massive structure on top of it, why not consider taking the opportunity to start from scratch and do it correctly? What are the concerns with that? Disrupting the current tenants? Environmental? Cost?

I'm not architect or designer but, as someone who spends time in that area of the city, I sincerely hope they demo BTS and start from scratch. That stretch of bay should be a fantastic opportunity to connect Nathan Phillip's with the Eaton Centre and on to Yonge and Dundas. Instead, it is a...

I'd say the path looks good except for the parts that were witewashed by the city and haven't been tagged back over.

Could someone enlighten me on how this would work? I'm a little naive to the mechanisms that a large city redevelopment would take. There is a large swath of land in Toronto that is currently owned and used by a number of people. Alphabet wants to redevelop this land and equip it with a bunch...

That's great, thanks. So that's the cladding for the bulk of the east building and that shorter building that looks like it's growing out of the west one? In the model at least, the west building looks different. Is that glass?

Maybe I'm the only one (because I'm often beyond my depth here), but I'm having a difficult time picturing the buildings from these models. The exterior all looks very shiny and washed out. When it's built, what would you expect the cladding to look like? Is there another building I could look...

Does anyone know if the new upgrades increase the minimum temperature at which they can operate the dome? It may be apocryphal, but I was always of the understanding they couldn't (wouldn't?) open or close the dome at <10C. There are definitely many days where it was nice enough out that the...

Can you tell, just by looking at it, that it's higher quality materials?

Lurker with no architecture background here: Could someone try explain to me why this building has gotten so much praise from the site? I normally can understand most of the praise/criticism posted here but I really don't get why this won top building in the poll. Maybe some of it's qualities...
