    Toronto Toronto | LNX Residences at Bloor and Dundas | 87.5m | 27s | Lormel Homes | Richmond Architects

    Kiss and Ride alone would create traffic disaster at that intersection. The more logical amenity for connecting to the GO station is either a enclosed walkway that would go above Dundas West and connect to the TTC station. Or a new TTC entrance on the east side of Dundas West. Dundas West &...

    Toronto Toronto | Howard Park Residences | 24.99m | 8s | Triumph | RAW Design

    Went to sales centre. They confirmed the change in height of building from 10 floors to 8 floors. Many of the top floor plans (larger units) are being modified to accommodate the reduction in # of units. Also talk of changing to Geothermal.

    Toronto Toronto | Liberty Central by the Lake | ?m | 27s | CanAlfa | IBI Group

    I like how they only built phase 1 in the model. Lots of suckers will think that they will get unobstructed view of the city.

    Toronto Toronto | Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Toronto | 203.9m | 52s | Lifetime | a—A

    Four Seasons from across the Humber Bay. (Taken by the Humber River Bridge).

    Also very impressive from DVP south bound. Sorry, no pic as I had my hands on steering wheel. :)

    Toronto Toronto | Legacy, Ultra, and Yorkland at Heron's Hill | ?m | 40s | Mattamy Homes | Graziani + Corazza

    Really handsome building indeed. A very rare case where the actual building looks far superior to the rendering. Surrounding area is still a bit of a dead zone, though.

    Bridge, The + Connect (Urbancorp, 22s, Kirkor)

    Absolutely agree. The city should not tear down sports facilities to build parks. The tennis community was sacrificed when the beloved Waterside Tennis Club was demolished to make way for the Queen's Quay E George Brown College. Instead of allowing the club to operate somewhere else in the...

    Where are the bathrooms on both the GO level and the TTC paid area?

    Looks like floor 2-5 of the Hudson east facing units will lose all their windows....

    Rêve Condos By Tridel Changing The Face Of Front Street West

    Wow.... I lost a bidding war on one of those townhouses back in 2006. 2BR/1bath, no parking, but the view from the top floor private patio couldn't be beat (CN tower, Downtown). Listed for 300k. Winning bid was 360k. Had a friend selling a Roof Top 2 level 1 bedroom unit (500sq ft) up on...

    Stockyards, The (30 Weston Rd. @ St. Clair, retail, Trinity, 2s, GreenbergFarrow)

    It would have made more sense from a long term urban planning perspective if they were to move all the existing Stockyard big boxes to this development. Then redevelop the existing Stockyard big box plaza into an urban condo/work/retail development. But no matter what they do (even with that...

    Bridge, The + Connect (Urbancorp, 22s, Kirkor)

    The building looked great until they slapped on the bricks.... makes the whole thing super heavy (from the west when driving down King). Especially when contrasting the one across the train track.

    Don't like slabs. But if Clewes definitely has done it right. Examples of slabs done wrong? Liberty Village. Sooooo wrong.

    Emerald City First Phase Replacement Rental Buildings Close To Completion

    I saw it in person and I for one think that they are actually quite well done. They creates a 'gate' into the Parkway Forest area. And the material of the exterior is very appropriate. Overall a high quality rental buildings. The real eyesores is the Fairview Mall parking arcade. It's...

    Liberty Village Towers/Bliss (CanAlfa, 24 + 20s, IBI-HB)

    I am wondering if they would do anything about that gigantic cell tower right next to the south side of the building... I think the owners of the lake facing units are in for a huge shock!

    Toronto Toronto | Panorama at Concord CityPlace | 96.01m | 28s | Concord Adex | BDP Quadrangle

    I have to say this is my favourite Cityplace building. Gorgeous. Too bad about the ground floor units facing Lakeshore Blvd, though... yes... For those who are following the West Harbour City thread, I am harping on this again!

    Liberty Village Towers/Bliss (CanAlfa, 24 + 20s, IBI-HB)

    HK has its own problem architectures/planning too. The ruthless developers there are favouring the 'Barrier' build form. Imagine ten 50 storeys towers linked together forming a barrier blocking the sea. They also favour monstrous podium as they are not included in the calculation of the...
