I think this is as tall as she's gonna get:

All sorts of cladding going up, materials are identical to Vita:

It took until the leaves came down from the trees for me to realize this thing is directly in line with the Humber Bay Arch Bridge and will soon form a backdrop to it. RIP pretty pictures of the bridge Some other shots of how it impacts its surroundings: The've started to put...

Toronto's slowest excavation is finally complete. 2 cranes are now up. Substructure pour is underway. They're caved fairly ornate shapes into the shale on the south side:

Pinnacle One Yonge is about 19:30 into the video. I kind of missed the moment when this tower got a bump up to 312 meters to make it taller than The One. When did that happen?

You are correct, my opinion really has no impact on how this building will turn out. However, it doesn't mean that I'm not allowed to have a negative opinion about it. And it's fine to be excited about the progress of the building you purchased a unit in. However, it doesn't mean that you have...

Phoenix Rising (bottom right)

If you have similar floorplans from Onni, you can estimate dimensions pretty well: The tiles in the bath area are exactly 2 feet by one foot. You can use this as a pretty accurate scale. I don't remember what software I used. But I used that floor tile grid as a scale and all measurement...

Wow, that out-of-date skyline... This is August 2003, I'm guessing?

Fencing round this site is being updated with Grand Central Mimico marketing, just like their On The Go site Looks like they may use this grey building across the street as their showroom? And whatever this guy is doing, he looks very serious about doing it. Surveyor?

Looks like Vandyk is marketing all of their properties in the area as Grand Central Mimico. Hoarding and fencing updated today at this site:

That is because the current state of the building, with boarded up windows and crumbling bricks is only increasing the property values...

Yup, the future Harbour Street Canyon. I'm very curious to see how the Harbour St. extension/realignment will shape up. These shots will make a good 'before' reference for a Throwback Thursday a few years down the road :)

Alright, on the second try, you made a much better attempt at starting a constructive discussion :) First things first. This is a forum of urban enthusiasts, not NIMBYs. People here generally don't dislike an urban development due to the fact that there was a petition against it. There is local...

It looks like their entire design hinges on the pattern of clear glass versus some sort of a milky white semi-opaque glass for the balcony railings. Ideally it would create light and dark contrast between different sections of the building. Lets hope they chose materials that actually work as...

Such beauty, much fence: How a typical pedestrian would have seen this wonderful new bridge today.

Just came across this this thread. I remember Mark Grimes sounding fairly angry about Campbell closure. One of his bigger gripes was the steamer the city half-sponsored just a couple of years ago. It's a gas powerplant that generated both the electricity for Toronto Hydro and the steam required...

I've been to that pub once. It had a very odd vibe to it. The crowd was a strange mix of yacht owners from the nearby marinas, bikers and local bar frequenters from Regent Park. There is nothing fancy or posh about the place. It could best be described as a roadside watering hole. I can totally...
