    Toronto Toronto | West Don Lands: Blocks 17 & 26 | 141m | 43s | Aspen Ridge | Core Architects

    Look, I'm not trying to make anyone in particular look good or bad here, but when it comes to the city erupting another shelter or a respite centre wherever they want, it appears to be an entirely different story for some reason. They open up a shelter without giving it a proper thought, without...

    Toronto Toronto | Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    So you're saying this building in particular is the 3%? Is the list of buyers public? How can we be so sure those 7 or 8 key packets went to owners from Asia? How come none of them are on board? I'm asking because I personally had to deal with the owner of those notorious Booking/AirBnb units...

    Toronto Toronto | Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    Where's the information about many units being sold overseas coming from? As far as I'm concerned, sales subjected to Non‑Resident Speculation Tax in the city of Toronto are somewhat negligible (sitting at around 3%) and I've yet to see a single Chinese looking name in the list of board members...

    Toronto Toronto | Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    People who are trying to immigrate under one of the most popular immigration streams have to have something that is called "settlement funds"; Statistically speaking, over 40% of all new immigrants land in the GTA, so I'm most certain that the high number that is required to pass settlement...

    Toronto Toronto | Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    I'm sorry, is this some kind of post-post-irony type of joke/troll attempt? No races were mentioned in my post, I merely described how the immigration system works currently. I know it for a very good reason - I suppose you can guess. (Hint: I went through it)

    Toronto Toronto | 1200 Bay | 326.5m | 87s | ProWinko | Herzog & de Meuron

    Didn't they change a shadowing legislation a while ago? I thought this applied to whole entirety of downtown including Bloor. I guess this time around they came up with some other excuse to cut height of another promising project. Makes me think some developers are just waiting for someone to...

    Toronto Toronto | Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    Don't hold your breath - the government already expressed their desire to keep immigration levels high which ultimately means GTA real estate is going to be just fine. Their most important objective is to make sure new immigrants aren't a threat to the healthcare system and have enough money to...

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    You mean the Big Dig? Isn't it like hugely notorious for being the most expensive yet the least effective public project of all times? I'd rather admire the views on Gardiner than breath toxic fumes in some cramped tunnel.

    Toronto Toronto | The HUB | 258.46m | 59s | Oxford Properties | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    I have to say I'm all for WFH model, not against it, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to prove anything here. In my personal experience that hybrid model is a given, I haven't actually heard of any big/medium tech company, anything with substantial tech division really, where 95% of staff is...

    Toronto Toronto | The HUB | 258.46m | 59s | Oxford Properties | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    All I see is an immediate reaction to COVID, cost savings, lay offs and things like that. You really don't have to be an expert to understand what this type of corporate speech really means: Or this: Or that: They laid of like 50 people, add this to the fact that Shopify still wants to...

    Toronto Toronto | The HUB | 258.46m | 59s | Oxford Properties | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    I have to agree with the other replies here. 'WFH for the majority of employees' type of model probably wouldn't stick around for long. There's a relatively fresh IT industry with giants like Amazon/Google requiring their employees to be physically present in their offices knowing full well they...
