From today:

Speaking of the lobby, John Bentley Mays wrote up a rather unflattering critique of it a few weeks back: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/home-and-garden/architecture/an-ornamental-lobby-lacks-spirit-at-pears-on-the-avenue/article26127056/

Not sure where else to put this, but seems that the South Detention Centre has been plagued by some pretty severe issues: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/staff-calls-out-toronto-south-detention-centre-for-crisis-in-inmate-health-care/article26763123/

250,000 Sq Ft of office space, developed by Manulife Real Estate. Link to the project's website. CEI Architects. And a terrible night time photo from last week:

In terms of mobile viewing, I assume you guys have looked at the traffic and decided it's an important audience at UT? Personally, while I understand posting pictures from one's phone, and it being important to find threads in that instance, when it comes to actually reading those threads...

Buildup: While ProjectEnd is plenty capable of defending his points himself, I'd just like to point out, without commenting on your argument itself, that you're doing a terrible job actually arguing your point when you start off your post with a subjective comment that his "last throw-away line...

Would seems we're both slightly off the mark; it's actually about 100k sq ft as per the final planning report. And thanks for the numbers. Even with Casa3 coming in slightly lower than I initially pegged it at, that still leaves the area with about 500k square feet of new space, which would be...

Interesting, wasn't aware of that! But does anyone have the square footage of what 88 Cumberland was, and 80 Bloor St West and 10 St Mary?

There's probably a better thread for this, but anyone have the numbers on what the net balance has been in terms of office space being built or lost in the broader Bloor-Yorkville area? From the top of my head, in terms of new or repurposed office space that's been built, or is currently...

Nothing wrong with a box, and you answered your question there with the post you quoted, as, architecturally speaking, Tridel's record is not a particularly impressive one.

From the Globe, on Friday: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/last-call-at-the-palace-arms-developers-covet-the-king-west-property-but-where-will-its-poor-tenants-go/article25156724/ And some renderings in the article, designed purely as part of a feasibility study, to be clear:

From today:

Shuter street is already seeing development, with Regent Park's revitalization (next market rate condo to be launched at Shuter and Sackville), Core Condos imminent construction, and O2 nearing completion. You also have the Berkley Church redevelopment directly on Queen East. Not to...
