Just FYI, that's actually the North facing units (of Waterlink) looking right into the South facing units (of the Tower). The West-East units of this and future phases will be the same as the distance between the Waterlink buildings now. I agree that it's too close, and I doubt those units were...

I agree, all indications are that it's not going anywhere particularly soon, but medium-to-long term there is little doubt it will go (and that comes from someone who actually likes it).

It's really not hard to navigate, it's a straight and clear walk directly south from the street. Everyone on this forum complains about it being secluded, but that's just because of Redpath blocking the extension of the promenade and Waterfront Toronto hasn't developed the parking lot into a...

Ya the distance from Waterlink to the Tower (along the North-South axis) is really close - seems much closer than the distance the Waterlink buildings are from each other (along the East-West axis). Kind of surprised the City planning department would allow that - I'd be pissed if I lived in one...

Though I know some people dislike it, I really like this building. I think its architecture is nice for a mid-rise building, and I think I'll like it more once the retail fills in at the ground level. The floorplans generally seem a little narrow and dark to me (though the pictures I've seen...

Interestingly, that render seems to show something that could really make the building look nice (in my opinion): it looks like the dark diagonal accent will actually be reflective (either metallic or glass), which would contrast really nicely with the white balconies. That seems to be a...

He says in the video on Twitter that "we've [muffled - secured dollars?] to rebuild the Toronto Ferry Terminal" and that the money is from a development on Front Street. However, I remember seeing that there was something like 9 million secured from phase 2 of Sugar Wharf and from phase 2 of One...

For better or worse, I think this is the way King East (the area, not the building) should be developed. King West has the charm of older buildings and large glass offices don't really fit with that. King East has no such charm, and developers won't build charming buildings like those already on...

I don't have a definitive answer to your question obviously, but it must mean one of three things: It means phase 2 is going to be started earlier than the planned time time of approx. 2022. It does seem strange that they'd seek site plan approval 4+ years in advance of starting construction...

This is the grass at Cambridge University right now - some of the most meticulously cared for grass I've ever seen. There's been a heatwave and relative lack of rain in southern England, just like there has been in Toronto. This will probably happen more and more due to climate change (so...

Thinking about it, the old LCBO building needs to be partially demolished to make way for the park. Presumably the City can't build the park until that has happened, and the City isn't going to pay for the demolition, the developer will. So maybe 2024 is the projected start date for the Phase 2...

"2. City Council amend the 2018 – 2027 Council Approved Parks, Forestry and Recreation Capital Budget and Plan to include creation of a new capital sub-project called "55 Lake Shore Boulevard East - Parkland Acquisition" in the Land Acquisition project upon execution of the agreement of...

From a distance it's not my favourite building but I love the street-level. Very happy to take this over what our normal courthouses look like.

While I am a fan of keeping the columns, I dislike the idea of making them into a ramp (such as Park Vert). It's something that very few people will use and seems to make the park cut off from the sidewalks (similar to the elevated walkway around Nathan Phillips Square). If they can be kept as...

Interesting. Do you know if that means (a) the whole park design is scrapped and (b) it won't be done this summer/fall? I was looking forward to seeing this "light show" art they were going to do!

I'd love to see them do something with that food building during the expansion - maybe a green roof or something.

Looks like the park beside Aquabella (Aitken Place Park, between Aquabella and Aquavista) isn't progressing very fast. Thought it was supposed to be done in the next couple of months?

Many people seem to think bigger = better, but that's just not true. There's no point adding 10-15k seats to BMO field (beyond the approx 40k needed for the World Cup) if it will ruin the atmosphere for the next two decades of TFC games. No one's going to say "Oh, the World Cup would've been...

Oh wow, you're right. At first glance I thought it was still at grade. Seems quite quick. Anyone know off-hand how deep it's going? Can't wait to start seeing it go in the other direction!

I wish I could be there to sing the praises of this beauty-of-a-building.
