    Toronto Toronto | Waterfront Innovation Centre | 53.03m | 11s | Waterfront Toronto | Sweeny &Co

    Ok, so if Toronto isn't going to do something interesting in this spot, with this use, with the word "innovation" in the title, then I assume we aren't a city that is going to build interesting things anywhere. Developers in Toronto must make significantly more money than developers in other...

    Boutique Pre-Construction Condo. Newish Developer. Thoughts?

    They have done a couple of single homes, and are in pre-sale phase for another similar sized building. Basically, they don't have a lot to look at.

    Boutique Pre-Construction Condo. Newish Developer. Thoughts?

    At $780/sq ft, I am paying for a sharply-designed, up-scale building. However, the elements which make this building a luxury building could all be dropped and not considered a material change. I am trying to get a real handle on the risk of: - losing a balcony - having the layout changed -...

    Toronto Toronto | The Selby | 165.5m | 50s | Tricon | bKL Architecture

    The mansion was moved way too close to the street, no? Shouldn't it be at the same set-back as James Cooper?

    Toronto Toronto | Pace Condos | 146.3m | 42s | Great Gulf | Diamond Schmitt

    They planted 4 trees on Dundas! Wow!

    Toronto Toronto | 100 Queens Quay at Sugar Wharf | 117.34m | 25s | Menkes | B+H

    Wouldn't it make sense to have shorter buildings on the waterfront? Am I crazy to suggest that lining up a bunch of tall buildings along the water will visually block the lakeview from the rest of the core?

    Toronto Toronto | 159SW Condos | 118.87m | 36s | Alterra | Richmond Architects

    That "Promotional Video" is the worst thing I have ever seen. It's almost fraudulent. Shots of girl walking around neighborhoods that are not Sherbourne and Wellesley. "Hey, meet me at The Drake for a drink!" I am assuming it is parody? I mean, I know it's not, but I need it to be.

    Toronto Toronto | 159SW Condos | 118.87m | 36s | Alterra | Richmond Architects

    That is a hideous mess. Imagine how bad it will look in real life.

    Cabbagetown

    I heard Labour of Love is moving to the South side of the street beside Stout.

    They are just getting it ready to be excavated.

    Didn't Wong Tam own the Timothy's?

    Toronto Toronto | Ivory On Adelaide | ?m | 22s | Plaza | Hariri Pontarini

    I was in this building last month and two issues stood out: - There is no parking garage door. They have left the garage completely open, which is weird for both efficiency and security reasons. - The lobby layout is terrible. One must navigate a strange narrow hallway to get to the...

    Toronto Toronto | 159SW Condos | 118.87m | 36s | Alterra | Richmond Architects

    Didn't Diamondcorp or Kilmer buy it for like under 3 million??

    Toronto Toronto | The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    The exo-skeleton is cool but it really is a dressed-up box. Foster knew he didn't really have to push the envelope in Toronto. I think when we look back at the construction boom, this will have been Toronto's big chance to make a splash. Yonge and Bloor.

    St Lawrence Market

    His pitch for investment to help franchise SQ got brutally shot down on Dragon's Den.

    Kartelle Lofts on Queen (at Pape, Kartelle, 4s, ?) (was Film Studio Lofts) COMPLETE

    Yay, EIFS was used to finish the building.

    Toronto Toronto | The Berczy | 41.76m | 13s | Concert | Arcadis

    That building looks hideous and amateur from Front St. The precast, the brick and the spandrel look like they hate each other. The bricks should have gone down to street level, and the aluminum cladding on top should have been black.

    Church-Wellesley Village

    That's exactly how you should feel!
