This whole new section of the skyline looks great coming in from the East across Bloor crossing the valley between Castle Frank and Parliament as well. Lots of interesting depth and variation to it. Looks great at night and will be even more striking as a gateway I think once the Via buildings...

You say "our" so it seems like you are among the residents. Why do you think it's an appropriate action to take to spend your energy fighting increased housing all just so that it doesn't partially block the view in your adjacent high-density housing? You live in a city in a building bigger than...

Nice to see development of the narrow lot without combining with other adjascent properties and lessening the fine-grain of the streetscape.

The UFO landings are very weird and they don't seem congruous with the shape of the building to me — there's something even borderline like disconcerting and weird about them like they're strange mouths or angry eyes. They're very odd. I do partially wish they weren't happening and that...

I absolutely love the way it swoops around the houses and frames them. The whole shape of this is great. Feels very very nice and natural with the curvature of the river and the land around this and I think it'll look quite nice as view across the valley from the other side as well and crossing...

I gotta admit I kinda love when buildings and rooflines get cut in half like this. It looks weird and maybe "bad", but in a charming way that is always fun and interesting to see for me.

Yeah it definitely makes sense how it started heading on this path. I understand the City didn't want a tabletop but feel like somewhere along the way they should have realized that regardless of whether they wanted it or a not a tabletop was what they were getting and then proactively worked...

Kinda seems like maybe the City should have realized their policies were leading to bad outcomes and made some revisions around planning in the Entertainment District sometime along the way so we didn't end up in this situation.

I feel like part of me is emotionally suppressing the knowledge and existence of the MEC building on Queen. 😅

Did this happen today or yesterday? I tried to bike down Broadview turning right down from Bloor and the whole area is such a complete disaster and so much road closure (and closure of the bike lane on Bloor as well just prior) that I bailed on the plan. I'd done it a couple times recently but...

Hullmark doing more big projects like this across the city could be very compelling. They seem to have a very high standard of work and architectural quality and understand that buildings shouldn't always just be snap-together spandrel and window wall. I hope they continue to do the great small...

Fits right in and looks good. Similarly I didn't realize it was a rendering at first either. Hopefully it doesn't include that building to the north that Alex was talking about though.

A city full of buildings like this would be a city with great bones.

Very sharp.

Yeah I just completely tuned out. Sometimes threads get in a mode where my eye just skips over them or my mind has filed them away as "held up slow moving and not interesting to click on". What a nice surprise to see this one so far progressed in such an exciting way.

Every time I see a photo like this it makes me wonder about the possible timeline to an ACC... I mean Scotiabank Arena tower built where their current short office space building is now. It would have to be extremely small footprint in order to preserve the arena, but I could definitely see it...

Wow I stopped visiting this thread for a while and now I'm surprised to find this thing is under construction!!?! I figured it was still mired in delays. That steel arch is amazing and the steel framing in general is very cool!

I like 10 York a lot regardless of some of its issues — one of my favourite new towers in the city of the last while. The crystal-like geometry and massing often looks really good and the lighting is some of the best in the city, accentuates the shape well, and is super dramatic to see in the...

The unspeakable spandrel situation on this building makes me so much more mad than similar junk around the city because I actually think the bones of this development from a geometry and massing and incorporating a decent amount of precast perspective are actually pretty good. I was looking...

Feels like it was just yesterday that Wayne Gretzky's existed and now they've dug the giant hole and are already starting to build in it. I can't tell if this is staggeringly fast progress on the site or it's just pandemic timewarp influencing me. I think it's definitely been going fast though...
