These bridges, while not overly complex in design, I think will be landmarks - I can't even imagine they were that costly - kudos to the design team behind these !

Before we all get too excited - check out the prices of the units here (mind you they are very large) but this is very much a luxury development so I don't see this repeating unfortunately

Is this actually a huge surprise ? Were the numbers pre-pandemic - if so, I've seen costs jump anywhere from 20-60% depending on the type of work (speaking from the perspective of capital projects in a condominium) - this is backed by CCI presentations and the like.

Whatever happened with this, did the park actually open ?

It truly does ! My big fear though, will it actually be a success ? I'm not so sure about that yet. The good news being the built form is done regardless of the financial viability i.e. we win :)

This isn't actually going to start construction anytime soon is it ? And no, running is great for you, don't listen :) - sure if you're running 50KM a week you need to take some care but even then ...

It's interesting as opensky with more greenery even looks like it would have been a cheaper option.

Is that a construction site ? :) I jest.

Agreed completely and this area i.e. NYCC - restaurants tend to do really well (yes there are nuances here i.e. what type and the like) - look at how many there are between Finch and Sheppard ... also note how few vacancies ... compare that too many other areas in the city ... so the potential...

I have to say, it looks so much better with the TD logo vs the blank black square we saw before - yes it's not ideal, but I honestly felt it ruined the building prior to this being turned on. I guess this is a lot cheaper if tenants change :D

hmm, ok, I'm sure I need to see this in person, but is it actually that bad ? :) The darker black window frames are nice. I think this cladding type can actually look pretty good if executed well i.e. spacing between panels and the like, this is probably the issue here.

It does ! Maybe just 1.5/2x the height of the office buildings in that view.

I think that's pretty unfortunate, it looks ok in the render above as it's making the rest of the cladding look much darker than it actually is - which by the way to be clear, I love (the actual cladding colour). But the white is going to stand out, you can already see it in the pictures above.

I'm a bit worried about the undersides of the balcony - could they paint them orange / copper ? Otherwise I think the plain white will stand out.

Just a simple question for you; Can you share the evidence you have that indicates what you're describing is indeed the case ? i.e. that they have patiently and quietly been waiting on the city for 3 years for a response on their final application vs they are still securing financing or...

I appreciated it :) Only selfishly in the sense that this project is claimed to be the one delaying the required repairs for the salmon run fountain

I mean this project is 90% done at this point ? What would a realistic outcome be, it get' sold and converted to condos ? Surely it's not going to just sit empty or be demolished ?

Really ? I like it, dark precast panels, quite a bit of variation (leaning on the messy side) but I'll take it !

Will there actually be curved glass on this one ?

There goes the office building !
