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

    It is not going to be the Well 2.0 because it's not as large and ambitious a project as the Well. But both are designed by HPA, which is why they have similar vibes.

    Toronto Toronto | GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I used to live next to the train tracks on Noble Street, and the trains were largely unnoticeable if the windows were closed. If they were open, however - some mornings I'd be awakened by the first Go Train at 5:24 whatever, and from the grogginess of sleep, it would feel like the train was...

    Much demolished. Very torn down.

    Hey @Dirt Scratcher - thanks for your incredible work! I think everyone on the forum is always impressed and amazed with the work that the construction crews do in these projects. Kudos!

    Yonge-Dundas Square/Sankofa Square (Brown + Storey Architects)

    If they really want to commemorate our history, they should call it “World’s Biggest Jeans Store Square.”

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    The TTC is planning on having operational funding for the Eglinton LRT in the fall, but this is just a budgetary exercise. If the Eglinton LRT doesn't open, they have magic extra money. I imagine that their decision is based upon not much more information than we have.

    Dundas West/ Bloor Mobility Hub +interconnected hub network (Metrolinx)

    So, I wonder if here is where we can discuss this: https://www.toronto.ca/news/toronto-city-council-approves-sankofa-square-as-new-name-for-yonge-dundas-square-and-initiates-plans-to-rename-other-city-assets-that-include-the-name-dundas/ I'm of course hoping that they just rename the TTC...

    Yonge-Dundas Square/Sankofa Square (Brown + Storey Architects)

    My two cents: * The reason behind this renaming seems beyond silly. Either Dundas is bad or it's not - rename the whole thing or don't. (It's clearly a face-saving gesture by city council to make up for the fact that they went too gung-ho for renaming Dundas.) * Yonge-Dundas Square should have...

    Toronto Toronto | Cherry House at Canary Landing | 50.32m | 13s | Dream | COBE Architects

    When I was scrolling through, I passed this photo and thought, "Oh, nice photo of New York - " NYC is not the be-all and end-all, but it's nice to see a street type in Toronto that is more common there: mid-rise, dense buildings on either side of wide sidewalks.

    King-Queen-Roncy Intersection/ROW

    No one told me that the new park at KQQR was going to have a water feature!

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    These hyper-specific complaints about shelters are always a little strange for me. As someone who travels a lot on the TTC (it can take me up to an hour and a half to commute to work on the TTC), these shelters seem absolutely fine. I have no expectation that I will be protected at a TTC stop...

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

    Folks, we are not an investigative journalism outfit. We are a bunch of nerds who like to watch buildings go up. If you have created an account because you want to talk about exactly what is going on in Mizrahi's outfit, start a subreddit. The ONLY thing people on here really care about is the...

    Toronto Toronto | The Bread Company | 67.8m | 20s | Lamb Dev Corp | a—A

    Looks nice! I know Brad Lamb is not the greatest person, but he does build some nice low/medium-rise condo buildings.

    Toronto Toronto | Casino Woodbine | 31.85m | 11s | One Toronto Gaming | CGL Architects

    Yes, you need a wow factor to draw people, and the architecture so far is very much not-wow.

    Toronto Toronto | Casino Woodbine | 31.85m | 11s | One Toronto Gaming | CGL Architects

    All of the east side of Highway 27 on either side of Rexdale Blvd are strip malls, and there is Woodbine Mall north of this development. This is not an area that is starved for retail space. A walk from the non-existent GO Train station for Woodbine (the one coming in 2030) to the casino would...

    Toronto Toronto | Casino Woodbine | 31.85m | 11s | One Toronto Gaming | CGL Architects

    I'm just mystified by this development. Who will shop at this retail? There's a lot of retail space at Woodbine Mall and along Highway 27, and I can't see how this space would be more appealing to people.
