I’m liking the view terminus up Adelaide towards the East. I’ve always been a fan of River city 3 though.

This seriously concerns me for the fate of East Harbour.

Green?

And so too is there parkland spread out across the entire waterfront; love park, wave deck park, HTO park, Sherbourne slip etc. That doesn't include the new Portlands park. Factually yes, having this as park space would add space. But I think the argument here is that a new high quality...

I was going to say the same thing tbh. I am all for quality parkspace, personally but is this area really lacking?

My guess would still be early 2023 given the knack for delays on those things. Fingers crossed for ya though!

I’d rather 2-5 stories be added atop and these houses become interesting spaces at grade - restaurants, retail, spas etc. The east end has so many cool historical spaces and will need them to serve the needs of all these new people coming to the neighborhood in coming decades.

Interplay of old and new from this AM.

Yup I assumed that's what you meant. But there are a lot of people who believe that the quality of the islands (including ecologically) would be degraded if we significantly increased access, and thus the amount of people frequenting on a regular basis. This is separate from the issue of "is the...

If you're thinking purely from a tourism standpoint in terms of inflow of people. But I am also talking about the convenience for people living here including me, personally. I use the islands as-is probably 12-14 weekends in the summer AND use the airport frequently to visit the US and other...

Personally, I feel like the downtown airport offers more value than an extension to the already vast amount of park space available on the islands. It is one of the things I consistently hear tourists from the US talk about as a unique benefit of Toronto.

This feels a bit cynical IMO. What it lacks in movement emulation I think it makes up for in scale. I think there will be something powerful about seeing forms and materials like this on such a large building. But you know what they say about opinions lol...

And yet, it still reminds me of it. But go ahead and tell me my opinion is wrong lol.

The updated design kind of reminds me of "The Taylor" Spadina. A nicer render to be sure but similar vibes.

A bit of a snooze if you ask me. The previous tenders seemed a bit more exciting IMO

Is there plans for that yet/is it funded? I was just riding by that yesterday and thought "this could really use some love".

I hope the new park between pinnacle 1 Yonge and Sugar Wharf condos looks as high quality as this. Berczy Park & St Andrews Playground feels elevated to this level, possibly even Grange Park which I like a lot. Maybe the redeveloped David Crombie park will have a shot as well as the Moss Park...

This. This is not an institutional/public/commercial building so the cost needs to be realistic for actual residential buyers. Extremely tall + super high quality materials is a hard sell in any geographic market.

The attitude meter is on the high side with this one 🥲
