I'm not liking Phase 2A. I don't like how it cuts up the space between the CN Tower and Rogers Centre.

Regardless of what you think of the colour, there is nothing else like it in Toronto. It will be striking and will in no way blend into surrounding buildings like so many other recent projects.

If it was cursed wouldn't it be at the ACC?

I would have thought Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment would own the trademark Maple Leaf Gardens.

Better than the Pepsi Forum If the preservation of the exterior matches the render that was released today this is as close to perfection as we can expect. Just look at what happened to the old Montreal Forum. It makes 10 Dundas Street East look beautiful by comparison.

Good idea. Better check on the spelling of his name before we put up the signs though.

Are there two 'b's in bubble or just one?

We have all been spoiled by what is being done on Bloor. A new standard has been set that we are not likely to see replicated elsewhere in the city.

I guess it speaks to the generic nature of this building that it can be used as a back drop for Philadelphia.

The lower half of the tower is rounded?

I saw the West Edmonton Mall for the first time two years ago. It was the biggest disappointment I've experienced since new Coke. Dated doesn't begin to describe this place.

Can an honest assessment be made before landscaping has even started?

The entire idea for this project originated with the municipality as a means to stimulate development in an area where the private sector was not interested in putting their money. Admittedly it has been somewhat successful (I have been less critical than some) but it has taken an...

Yes compared to 10 Dundas East Compared to 10 Dundas East, a project where government was heavily involved, this is moving at a blistering pace.

Talk of demolishing this building, even within a time frame of twenty years is insane. There is a great deal right with this property. What's wrong can be fixed relatively inexpensively. To go back to ground zero would be irresponsible not to mention uneconomical.

I like the view of the Bay from this vantage point. Will the condo tower block it?

As much as these centres need redevelopment (and they do), I wonder if in the decades to come we will lament the loss of the original centres. These sites are literally being wiped clean. The existing architecture will be lost forever. That may not seem like a loss now but than how many "ugly"...

The idea of these outside artificial fields is that it allows play much earlier and later in the season when heavy rain and almost daily freeze-thaw cycles turn "natural fields" into a sea of mud. Its a great idea.

Watching the parade of mayors in the video, past and present, its a wonder Toronto hasn't ended up like Buffalo, Detroit or Rochester. What a sad and pathetic group. You would think a city this great could produce better leaders.
