I'm not sure who here has a good views of the G20 Summit but they must not know what is happening. Any time you have a 10 foot high fence, the full police force on high alert plus a security zone, it can't be good. These meetings are a waste of time and YOUR money. It's one big vacation for...

The G20 Summit is a complete waste of time and money to host in a large metropolis like Toronto. At over $1B for 15 hours worth of meetings (that's $1M a minute), they will resolve NOTHING! Look at the banking crisis the global economics have had on all nations and you will have the answer to...

McD's is classified as a fast food restaurant but if you have read this article, many do not believe they actually serve food as this teacher's science project reveals: http://bestofmotherearth.com/2008/09/24/1996-mcdonalds-hamburger.html For domestic travelers though, it may save them from...

Brings back fond memories of when I lived here in the 1960s and 1970s and went to school here as a kid (I'm sooo old) but the skyline was not quite the same then :P Cabbagetown has really transformed into one of the city's most quaint and finest neighbourhoods with amazing architecture. Highly...

I've asked this question before and not sure if anyone saw it but did the GG floor plans change from the original Bazis designs above the hotel floors or did only the balconies change?

This public square is the centre piece of our city. It is the main place where you can visit the politicians and bureaucrats that run this big metropolis. It represents your city world wide and often when the media focuses their cameras to broadcast nationally or internationally, it shows an...

Thanks jmac, my netbook has a slug of a processor and I didn't realize the file took that long to load. Without going through 80 pages here, do you or anyone here have the original floor plans posted from the Bazis planned development? I heard a rumour that they only changed the balconies while...

The link doesn't seem to work (blank page). Please re-post.

Thanks trumptoronto... i'll keep my eyes open for the release.

I'm not sure if I missed the announcement but has the floor plans and prices for the 3 level Grand Skyplex penthouse been released yet? Last I heard back in December 2009 was they were still being tweaked.

There is a project almost adjacent to the 1 Bloor site (called Signatures on Bloor) which has not been as successful despite a great location. There was huge hype when Bazis originally marketed 1 Bloor at $500 psf (that was why there were line ups to get in) and they popped the price up to $700...

I've been involved in the Toronto real estate market for a number of years now both as a buyer and seller. Most condos are built to the developers specifications and guidelines using exterior restrictions as set by the city which fully maximizes square footage dimensions of a building to their...

This behemoth should have never been built. It sat empty for a decade and this was the best they could do? Did all the urban designers at city hall leave town when they approved this project? I agree with jmacmillan but in reality it can't be redone at this stage. That's what happens when you...

Newbie here with my first post but not new to the city as I live/work in the YB area. This design is quite nice relative to other condos in the city but it's not world class. The podium is great, works well at street level and looks much better than the old buildings on the southwest corner or...
