I'm not against the density here and views aren't something that can be depended on forever in a growing downtown, but it's telling that the city — its institutions, politicians, and culture — moves heaven and earth and enshrines protection in law to stop slight overlooks of backyards or...

I understand that it seems like parking would be a good thing to have, and yeah it definitely has some undeniable uses, but there's already plenty of housing stock in this city that has no guest parking. I live in an apartment in a divided house and I have no parking or guest parking. If people...

Would be great for the entire area to get Railpath connection up to here.

Love seeing the flythrough up Yonge. It will be quite an impressive canyon in years to come. Seeing these types of perspectives on your model in amidst the buildings and from closer-to-the-ground perspectives is always really cool to see — gives an impression of how the city will feel from...

Not a bad idea IMO to do this for heritage office buildings that likely could not be upgraded to the needs and preferences of the modern office building market, but could be converted into interesting and unique residential.

I feel like this is trying to be too weird and too tasteful at the same time. Also doesn't really feel like a e-sports venue to me... more like fancy bathroom bamboo soap dish and table lamp, which just isn't a vibe that screams e-sports to me. Feels like spa decor but also a swoopy scifi...

I agree and don't understand why everyone seems to regard the previous design as self-evidently better. It was extremely plain glass and was likely to end up being value engineered and feature a bunch of spandrel in reality and not look as clean and crisp as in the rendering anyway. The...

I'm not that familiar with this stretch of road but from the photos and the shape of the road it looks like it could be very dangerous from a speed and crossing and a blind corner with people speeding around it perspective. I wish our City government, Mayor, and council was actually responsible...

The city should proactively work towards making Draper St. a mixed-use street optimized for restaurants, shops, perhaps some offices or other businesses etc. while maintaining the historic feel of the street but adapting it to something new. Preserving some single family homes for wealthy people...

Quite cool in that photo seeing the juxtaposition of the skyscraper more square skyline with the jumble of pointy roofs in the foreground with the trees between. Really great photo!

Good site for development. Surprised we haven't seen any plans for the south/west corner of Bathurst and College nearby that has been a parking lot forever.

330 Richmond vibes on the side there and with the slab shape.

I'm definitely not opposed to more significantly redeveloping residential streets. Personally I think the city should be proactively designating at least one or ideally considerably more residential streets in every area and specifically allowing apartment buildings + mixed use to be built on...

This looks great and delays and roadblocks to building it is ridiculous. Concerned neighbours should sell their extremely expensive houses they were lucky enough to gain significant wealth with due to the ever-increasing market and move the country or the suburbs if they're worried about this...

I like that the cat theme is subtle and it feels appropriate to me since cats and cat people are (generalizing) more low-key or quiet than dogs and dog people. As a cat person, a cat fountain or similar would be very "loud" to me in a similar way to the intense high-key energy of dogs and their...

That is great work Layton did and I'm generally a supporter of him, but like almost everyone on council, the yellowbelt and the homeowner dominance of housing policy and planning policy writ large is a third rail that I feel is often masked by going hard against high-density housing projects and...

Fair enough @Northern Light re: sunlight. I do not myself know exactly how much we're talking about here in terms of the added impact on Jesse Ketchum with this height increase or if the increased amount will make a meaningful impact on the trees. I also personally find being out in the blazing...

If Layton's yelling about this ends up squeezing out some sort of community benefit in exchange for the height that's good, but it seems like the result will be the city gets nothing and the tower doesn't get higher and Jesse Ketchup (accidental typo but leaving it lol) stays blessedly...

Almost as tall as 1 Bloor East, which is currently the second tallest building after Aura outside the core. Sometimes when looking at (amazing) skyline of the future renderings with all the other massive future or proposed buildings next to them it's easy to forget how big buildings like this...

Kinda liking the massing along Peter St. but also lmao @ the tacky suburban MEC being the view terminus. How long until that site can be redeveloped again? It can't come soon enough. Would be a great spot for a boutique hotel + restaurant + performance venue or something like that. Alas we're...
