I agree. My friends and I are usually booking our party rooms for poker games. However, most condo corps require that all people vacate their shared rooms by 11 or midnight (sometimes you can push it to 1), which is a real drag for poker. I hope 300 residents aren't suckered into a poker room...

^ Great article, thanks. I am excited for the push to present something "fresh" and "controversial" but fear that it might alienate or destroy the historical retail strip. Now, I'm not saying Yonge between Gerrard and Gould is something in need of saving. Rather, I'd like the building to...

Great job as usual. What is the building in blocking Manulife? Also, I think the no parking condo on University on the site of RCMI is missing from the render and The Avenue is also missing. And I can't see 18 york, possibly because it is blocked. It is interesting to see 1 City Hall...

Yes this will be Burlington's tallest. It won't be that noticeable, though, because it is within a cluster of tall (15-20 storey) apartments.

^ Thanks Mike. I found the post from way back on page 99 (or around there).

I remember reading about this, but thanks for refreshing this point. It is a shame that College cannot get a secondary entrance. It shouldn't matter much if Aura is connected to the College Park PATH. Subway users can enter/exit Aura's public realm at Gerrard and Yonge and navigate through...

Thanks for the pictures, everyone. I really appreciate how this one addresses the street and is set back an appropriate distance. Far too many of the recent projects along Sheppard have been removed from the 'avenue'. Hopefully the eastern portion won't repeat the mistakes from the other side...

Aw Jessie Spano. For some reason this reminds me of the commercial with guy who claimed that people thought he ate too many choc-o-let bars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T2olgjnDWY . Also, Aura:

Does the newly ubiquitous phrase "too big to fail" not apply to this project? Aura will dwarf anything in the area and the tower itself, with all its setbacks, will be fairly removed from the street’s edge. The view looking up Yonge from Y&D or Y&Q will still be highlighted by the towers at...

According to the bulletin in the Liberties condo (next door), work for the next 4 months will take place entirely within the site. After that we should expect road closures and sidewalk hoarding for deeper excavation and construction.

Walked by the site on my way to work this morning and a small crew from CBS was there to dismantal the billboards.

Mike you just beat me to it, as I assume we got the same mass-email announcement. This is good news for the area. Does anyone know where in RP this centre will be located? I look forward to seeing the renders/designs.

Thanks for all your great contributions Caltrane -- you've really pulled more than weight. I have been fairly deliquent in my photo posting in the past few months, also due to a new job, but perhaps I'll view your step back as an opportunity to pick up my camera more often and try and fill in...

Perhaps it is because Corus was the trailblazer, setting the tone for everything else to follow. And now that the followers are pulling into the station we find our outrage justified but our motivation drained. Here we go again… Or perhaps George Brown gets a pass because of its use. As...

As has been addressed by others, one of the best features of the boards are the members (who provide useful, fun and enthusiastic) feedback. I support a change that enhances the user profile and personal contribution to the site, so that users have the ability to blog, post their own photo...

Ugly tower but even uglier base. The tower complex ruins one of the greatest features of Tokyo's sprawling density by plunking down a distruptive mass.

This is about a week old but I forgot to post it before, sorry if someone else posted it already. Also, this article could have gone in several posts but I figured the bulk of the analysis had to do with future buildings, not the nearly completed.
