There goes my lunch...

That 2nd last commie block would look at home in the Ryerson campus.

Fairly large Dominion at Church/Gould less that 5 min walk away from Pantages. Is that a long way?

Are Page+Steele the architects for this project?

Parade is selling now for about $490/sqrft... and that's at least 3 years off.
