That's actually pretty interesting. I'm guessing the dozen or so condos being built between Main St and here along Kingston road will all be the same type of construction.

I would guess the next major milestone would be setting up the crane - and I'd guess its another 2 months until you see that. In total, I'd say it's about 6 months before this comes above ground again with all the parking levels below poured. That's assuming it has 3 levels of underground...

Green Dragon is awesome. Great food. Also a bit further west is Feathers if you're a scotch aficionado, you gotta go. I forget exactly, but they have something like the largest collection of scotch in North America, or Canada. Maybe it's a top3? Like I said can't remember exactly. Tara Inn is...

Still, not much has changed, they did remove/relocate a hydrant, but at least they have machinery on site now.

From about an hour ago. First one is looking NE, second is NW

It extremely hard to make an apples to apples comparison. Also, some condos may include gas and/or hydro etc. Palma's calculation would also need to factor in things like replacing shingles every 20-25 years, same with windows and furnace/Ac every 20-40years - plus yearly maintenance on those...

Yup, he's somehow managing to make himself look worse. I'm also not sure how you 'politely' hang onto someone's windshield wipers. It's not like he said please prior.

Depends on the Logo for me. The TD on the old BCE Place is tolerable, BMO on FCP is better. The new Delta in southcore isn't bad either. The ones TD added at TD Centre are gaudy and out of place. But yes, the Trump one is obnoxious, irregardless of his views. The logos also sometimes also help...

By that logic, you might as well shut down all the forum threads for Buildings and Transport/Infrastructure and only allow photo and news updates. People debate/discuss daily what they like, don't like, what should change, what should be kept. It's not like anyone's views posted here are...

Now this clown admits to working for Uber black or whatever it is. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/taxi-driver-worked-at-uber-1.3358864

I'd guess we need more specifics on what Matlow is asking. If it's just removal of the name at the top, the penalties maybe different. If it's actually to change the name of the hotel that would be much more difficult for the reasons you listed. It'd almost have to be bought out by another 4/5...

I wouldn't go so far as masterpiece. Need to see the exterior finishes first, but definitely looks positive so far.

Your post from yesterday (#10481):

*Technically* I don't think anyone can put forward a motion on this to city council (or at least I'd consider it bad form.) They would be commenting on a foreign powers' electoral process (and our largest trading partner at that). Now it's a bit of a grey area, since they haven't even done their...

1. I vote for moving this to a separate thread. We're going too far down the rabbit hole on this topic - or just drop it in general. 2. I admire your optimism, but the cynic in me feels Matlow's sternly worded letter to Trump Tower will do absolutely zero to change any hearts and/or minds. If...

Nah, it was Q107 or CFNY, maybe 88.1.

I believe I heard on the radio this morning he was putting a motion to council, but it may have been misreported, or I misheard (more likely).

Just like to clarify since I 'liked' UF's post. I agree with you (skeezix) on Matlow can say whatever he wants, free speech etc., but to put a motion to City Council is pointless and I view it as waste of council's time. Any person with reasonable values knows that what Trump is spewing is...

Definitely full tilt boogie on digging here now. Drove by yesterday and they had at least two diggers (IIRC there were 3) and a bunch of dump trucks. I also drove by late last week at 5:15, and the guys were still digging. You can also see the shoring on the south end of the site below grade...
