    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Are you for real regarding this schedule or are you just making fun of how things work with Bombardier, the TTC, etc.?

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

    Hi, yup! And also, another somewhat-related FYI: in terms of the number of office buildings that are 30 storeys or more (regardless of height), it's Calgary, not Toronto, that has the most number of pure office towers in Canada! You can google this if you don't believe me but if we're going to...

    Toronto Toronto | CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Interesting information - would you have an idea on how tall these two office towers will be? (And I'm assuming they are going to be full office towers and not mixed use, i.e. hotel/residential/office, etc.)? Thanks in advance.

    I think this argument has been had 998 times! ;)

    Hi, what's your take on Lumiere Condos? They don't seem to get as much ... attention ... as the other condos around it (for better or for worse)... :)

    Toronto Toronto | RBC WaterPark Place III | 140.2m | 30s | Oxford Properties | WZMH

    Yeah, Scotia Plaza is my favorite office tower in the GTA! Amongst the already-constructed and under-construction towers from the mid 2000s boom, if Richmond-Adelaide III ends up looking like the render, it'll be my favorite office tower post Scotia Plaza (but still Scotia Plaza will be first...

    Toronto Toronto | RBC WaterPark Place III | 140.2m | 30s | Oxford Properties | WZMH

    When RBC said it wanted a no-frills building, they really meant it (at least from the outside). I wonder how no-frills the inside of this building is? Had they at least gone for a different colored glass for the building (i.e. not grey, blue, bluish-grey or green) but say black or some different...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Court of Justice Toronto | 95.7m | 17s | Infrastructure ON | Renzo Piano

    Hi, do we have an idea as to how many sq. ft. this building could be, if it were to accommodate all the court services and if the old city hall does get converted to a museum? about seven years ago, downtown Calgary got a new downtown court house and it is a pretty big building!

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say no one would want to live on Bay Street? From the people you know, do any of them want to live anywhere else in the downtown core (Spadina to Jarvis, Bloor to Lakefront)? What makes Bay Street so unappealing compared to other areas of downtown?

    Toronto Toronto | Atrium on Bay Expansion | 114m | 34s | KingSett Capital | Hariri Pontarini

    Hi Torontovibe, not to be nit-picky but you actually mean 'border'! :) 'Boarder' means something else and Interchange42's comment on 'no residential, therefore no boarder' plays off of the actual meaning of the word 'boarder' (a person who receives regular meals when staying somewhere, in return...

    Church-Wellesley Village

    Thank you for your post; so you have found people in Hamilton (particularly gay men) to be friendlier than the big smoke (TO)? Is it the small-town friendliness? Now I'm curious about Hamilton... :)

    Toronto Toronto | 300 Front Street West | 156.05m | 49s | Tridel | Wallman Architects

    yes, true but this is one of the better sides of the building; the grey-ish spandrel side really shouldn't have had the light frost colored balcony glass; instead it should have had black balcony glass for nice contrast. Or better yet, replace the grey spandrel with black. As for someone asking...

    Church-Wellesley Village

    Hi, so I'm not sure if some of the comments here are sarcastic or not, but these comments ring true to me (and many others I've talked to who have moved here from other parts of Canada) and without derailing the thread too much (sorry), there is a surprisingly high level of cold, clicky behavior...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    For the question on why condos around Bay/College command a premium over most areas of downtown, I'm wondering if it's: 1) Simply because it's Bay Street - there is a certain association with that name; 2) The fact that it's the middle of three main north-south downtown streets (Yonge, Bay, Uni...

    Church-Wellesley Village

    That is so true! Many people are so cold here!

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    Wow, $800 psf for resales? That's darn good. So, a 600 sq. ft. condo would go for $480K? Does that include parking and locker? How about Lumiere, from your perspective? Thanks!

    Church-Wellesley Village

    Hi! I don't go to gay-specific venues or events much but I'm curious as to where specific hangouts are for gay men outside of the village? Can someone please name a few places in the east- and west-end that have 'gay nights' or whatever it's? (I'm only talking about places outside of Church...

    Toronto Toronto | Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    So, I apologize for asking this (assuming that it's been asked already) but what is the reason behind the uneven floor heights again? And they do not seem patterned (i.e. every 10 floors or a certain range of floors in the building) so I'm curious why such a design was chosen? Thanks in advance!

    Toronto Toronto | Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Wow, really? That's so petty of you, Adma! Instead of looking at his points and his perspective, you look at an inconsequential spelling error. That's all you can think of saying? This is almost like invalidating someone's opinion/points of discussion if they communicated verbally and had a...

    Toronto Toronto | Scotiabank North Tower at Bay Adelaide Centre | 140.2m | 32s | Brookfield | KPMB

    Hi, do you know what the potential size of this tower could be (or if there's some cap)? I ask because I remember reading somewhere that up to 500K sq. ft. of office space is possible for this site (might have been Brookfield's own website) but if this tower will be a typical 32 storey tower...
