    Toronto Toronto | Casa | 147.52m | 46s | Cresford | a—A

    Apparently I beat you to it by about 10 seconds. Too funny.

    Toronto Toronto | Casa | 147.52m | 46s | Cresford | a—A

    Spectacular is definitely the word. Thanks, as always, DT! If they stay true to the renders (which they've done so far) I don't think the wood art feature is complete yet. The upper portion of the lobby doesn't actually go anywhere. It's just for show... but a cool place to have your...

    Casa Condos (Cresford Developments) - Real Estate -

    We're in the same boat. This delay has screwed things up for me and others as well... but I guess I'm not surprised. They are exactly within the law here (a law which does not look out for buyers). By law they must give 65 days days notice if they are moving the confirmed final closing date...

    Toronto Toronto | First Canadian Place Rejuvenation | 298.08m | 72s | Brookfield | MdeAS Architects

    Well, there would be endless, breathless, 24hr breaking news coverage of it on the Geek Channel. I think we keep forgetting that not everyone gets excited by this stuff like us. That's what makes UT so special.

    Toronto Top 20 Under Construction List

    I've been wondering this myself lately, too. It doesn't seem right. Are X's floors 8 or 9 feet apart?

    Toronto Toronto | St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    This may be the longest debate and discussion EVER after the placement of just one piece of cladding. What geeks. I love it! Really I do.

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

    Great photoshop job... but that building is way too classy for Yonge and Bloor. It's almost an insult to it to place it there. I know there were lots of issues with Bazis' design... but I do think it would have fit in pretty well with its surroundings. I'm curious (worried?) about what GG...

    Toronto Toronto | St. Clair West Transit Improvements | ?m | ?s | TTC

    Isn't "bunching" exactly one of the problems this new ROW should solve?

    Toronto Toronto | X The Condominium | ?m | 44s | Great Gulf | a—A

    I've been thinking this for a while too. This is a huge disappointment. IMO they've ruined the essence of a beautiful design with this lousy box. Total cheap-out. Why wouldn't they house the mechanicals in a top floor level that was hidden within the same dimensions of the tower? I love...

    Toronto Toronto | Casa | 147.52m | 46s | Cresford | a—A

    I'm not 100% sure, but from my distant vantage point it looks like the exterior construction elevators are being removed right now.

    Toronto Toronto | Bloor Street Neighbourhood Condos | ?m | 32s | Cresford | Northgrave

    True, the height of the first setback does fit in with the heritage building to the west and the frontage matches the mediocrity of the entrance to the YWCA building, but that's it. The street level facade on the YWCA is what it is, nothing special. But why would BSN try to mimic that? It could...

    Dubai: An Architectural Masterpiece layered on a Third World Country?

    Good round-up opinion piece here. Interesting praise for Emirates Airlines as well. So many seem to hold Emirates up as the bar to beat. ------- Will Dubai be reclaimed by the sand? One bubble is always replaced by another, but I hope the city survives – it adds to the gaiety of the...

    Toronto Toronto | Bloor Street Neighbourhood Condos | ?m | 32s | Cresford | Northgrave

    I'm concerned about how the ground floor of this southernmost side meets Charles Street. It looks like that wasn't even thought of. Very sloppy. I'm also interested to see how many non-residents of BSN will use the driveway (cars and pedestrians) to cut through -- either walking to or from...

    Casa Condos (Cresford Developments) - Real Estate -

    There actually was quite a wide selection of standard finishes to choose from and they are all quite good. It may not be obvious from let the photos of half-installed kitchens but compared to the many other condos I looked at, Casa offered the best standard finishes. Also, if those photos are...

    And if you search Craigslist for CASA you'll come up with a number of units for rent.

    Toronto Toronto | St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    I think this is gonna look amazing. If you're going to do green at least be bold about it. It is the colour of money after all.. and it is Trump Tower.

    Toronto The New Residences of Yorkville Plaza | 92.05m | 31s | Camrost-Felcorp | WZMH COMPLETE

    I feel myself wanting to agree with those opposed to this. I think the view looking north up University Ave. is iconic and is one that should be preserved. ----------------------------- Queen's Park vista threatened by condo plan Two towers on the Four Seasons hotel site would dramatically...

    There are definitely some interesting choices. I'm glad I stuck mostly with white.

    Those are awesome! Thanks, Joseph... very cool to see the 2-level suite in here too.
