    Toronto Toronto | Four Eleven King Condominiums | 149.04m | 45s | Great Gulf | KPMB

    Was in the old LCBO today - moving July 9th, last day of King location is July 7th.

    Toronto Toronto | MEC Queen Street (Mountain Equipment Coop) | 21.03m | 3s | Parallax | Sweeny &Co

    I have to say I walked past this last night and was hit with a wave of nausea that mirrored the feelings of disgust mentioned above. There is just no reason that the colour palette had to be so sickly, the materials so third rate, and the profile so suburban strip mall. So it does add to that...

    Toronto Toronto | Bathurst Quay Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | Kearns Mancini

    I hate to add to the constant whine that seems to emanate from UrbanToronto at times, but does anyone else find this plan to be as disappointing as me? First, I just can't believe a surface parking lot would be proposed in 2019. I'm sure there are those who think it is necessary because of the...

    Toronto Toronto | in.DE Dundas East & Jarvis Condominiums | 65.53m | 21s | Menkes | Turner Fleischer

    While I agree that this isn't the best architecturally, it isn't a disaster either. Hopefully the street level brick treatment is done well. To me, these projects are really beginning the transformation of the east side of downtown.

    Toronto Toronto | RioCan Hall | 145.2m | 42s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    I suppose the idea wasn't that well fleshed out, but essentially yes, that was what I was suggesting. I was really just dreaming that now that there is a major redevelopment proposed for the scotia site finally the hooters blight could be dealt with as well. I'm not sure what other possibilities...

    Toronto Toronto | RioCan Hall | 145.2m | 42s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Echoing what was being said about the need for park space in the ED, I would love to see Rio Can try to buy the properties to the east of the Bond (Hooters, the houses, and the garage). Then they could increase the porosity of the development (good north/south circulation) and they could raze...

    Toronto Toronto | MEC Queen Street (Mountain Equipment Coop) | 21.03m | 3s | Parallax | Sweeny &Co

    Horrendous. A middle finger to the Queen Street West vibe. Still better than a parking lot.

    Toronto Toronto | 11 YV | 213m | 62s | Metropia | Sweeny &Co

    Yes, it's French. I usually associate "cru" with a wine vintage or terroir - which is what I am assuming they are going for here; more commonly, I think, it's raw. There are other meanings though.

    Toronto Toronto | Artists' Alley | 121.91m | 39s | Lanterra | Hariri Pontarini

    I used to work in a building on University. This will be a massive breath of fresh air injected into the area. Not only is it currently 'boring' and a little run down, but Simcoe is also disjointed and not planned to be a primary street. A number of the buildings treat it more like a service...

    Toronto Toronto | Bloor & Dufferin | 122.35m | 37s | Hazelview | Turner Fleischer

    I tend to agree with Amare. The problem is: without decisive action by the city to streamline the development process for missing middle projects (e.g., as-of-right zoning on Avenues for acceptable densities, not the current uneconomic allotments; up-zoning or taxing under-utilized properties...

    Toronto Toronto | College Park Revitalization with Barbara Ann Scott Skate Trail | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | RAW Design

    Wish there were more trees/plants here, especially on the walkway fronting Yonge.

    Toronto Toronto | Sugar Wharf Condominiums (Phase 1) | 231m | 70s | Menkes | a—A

    Wow - the scale of the underway and planned developments for QQE is massive, even by Toronto standards. I've been waiting for this for a long while and it is now really getting into full swing.
