    Toronto Toronto | Nobu Residences Toronto | 156.66m | 45s | Madison Group | Teeple Architects

    From a distance where you can't see the finer details I have to agree as well. I was coming into the city by train for the first time in while and the black certainly caught my eye, it's rather striking especially amongst the entertianment district's sea of blues and greens. Unfortunately it's...

    Toronto Toronto | Toronto House | 186.53m | 58s | Westbank | Hariri Pontarini

    My response was to a comment about skyscrapers, not development in general. By range of heights I was referring to the 150m/200m/250m/300m or 500ft/600ft/700ft/800ft/900ft/1000ft plateaus for statisticians like me who are capable of doing the math and regaularly using both metrics 🤓 Canada and...

    Toronto Toronto | Toronto House | 186.53m | 58s | Westbank | Hariri Pontarini

    Australia is going through quite the building boom itself but Toronto has as many u/c and proposals across a while range of heights as Australia as a whole. Though Canada altogether is not much further ahead. The other Canadian cities outside the GTA really need to pick up the slack, only...

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Wow, we got ourselves a regulars Chrysler Building vs 40 Wall Street competition going on. Not only do they keep trying to one-up each other height-wise but the race to get built first going to be pretty tight as well, love it!

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    This is your 6:35 Lakeshore East train making all station stops to Durham College Oshawa... Totally rolls off the tongue 🙄

    GO Transit: Union Station Shed Replacement & Track Upgrades (Zeidler)

    Not a lie that's for the approaches into Union if going straight, 25 if switching tracks currently it's only 15 regardless of going straight or not so this will be a huge improvement. Still you'll never see more than 10, maybe 15 as it once was but I doubt it, tops inside Union. Nothing to do...

    Mississauga Toronto | M1 & M2 at M City | 197.81m | 60s | Rogers Real Estate | Core Architects

    Dominating from the west East And north (and probably south too) Honestly, almost wonder if those lazy bums didn't do it because they know you will 🤣

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    They should do what San Diego did, have to tracks run in-between the pylons; It's like Hydro One doesn't realize there is actually more than one type of hydro electric plyons out there 🙄

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    But plenty of people already are fine with it even with the current 2 hour long trip to Barrie and Electrification with cut down that travel time. That's impossible, not without slowing trains and automation. You might be able to sync a couple crossing with little change but the only way to...

    Mississauga Toronto | Oro at Edge Towers | ?m | 50s | Solmar | Rosario Varacalli

    Wow that's sure different for the 'Saga, not the usual green glass cookie cutter garbage that lines Hurontario.

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

    You did know that diamond was there before you moved right? Nobody put a gun to you or any of your neighbors heads and said you HAVE to move there. Sorry not sorry you and your neighbors moved into a condo next to an active railway crossing at grade. Maybe next time some due diligence and...

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

    It's time for a break. There's far too much mediocrity in design and too much congestion on our roads. New transit infustructure needs to be built out to accommodate projected growth and that will take time. Meanwhile prices have become nearly unaffordable and clearly unsustainable, there needs...

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Although sights like this here and at The One do make me wonder about something... If you have to use that much steel on a wall or floor to fortify it why not just skip the concrete and make the wall/floor entirely out of steel

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Obviously the building is going to be structurally sound but jezz those columns don't even look half as beefy as The One's.

    Toronto Toronto | 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    I'm sure it's completely safe but personally I wouldn't be able to work in those offices knowing they're hanging off the side of the building like that. 😬

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    Just because someone says Pearson is a horrible airport doesn't mean they're blaming just the GTAA specifically. They're frustrated by the conglomerate of parties that are responsible for the current shi* show, hence the disdain the general public has for it the airport in general. CBSA is...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    Was never a big fan of Whitney when he played but he's sure as heck right about Pearson, it's a complete shi* show these days 😡

    Toronto Toronto | Valhalla Village | 122.09m | 37s | KingSett Capital | BDP Quadrangle

    Yes! Always good to not have a couple extra thousand cars flood an area. And perhaps the city can turn it into a park instead? There's not much green space in the area especially to the south. The openness of the corner is nice as is right now.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    They'll be no regualar Lakeshore east express trains for at least 2 years, though more likely 3+ based on how much GO projects usually get delayed 🙄 https://www.durhamregion.com/news-story/10469936-go-suspends-express-lakeshore-east-train-service-during-three-year-construction-period/ Wait...
