Could you give us some cryptic clues?

would anyone want to live at place with the address 666? lol

Interesting how you skirt around the question. I didn't ask, do you think they'll succeed. I asked, do you believe that they didn’t have any idea about the project’s viability & profitability before they went forward with the submission? Can you just offer your opinion & logic for that question?

Exactly. Can someone just answer the following question. Do you believe that an experienced Developer like Kofman, an experienced architect like Gehery and Mirvish, who has contacts in banking, didn’t have any idea about the project’s viability & profitability? If someone can offer...

True enough. I should have been more diplomatic. Aside from that, this article doesn't have the ring of truth. Especially when she quotes things like the following: "What finally convinced him to stop pushing for the original plan was a third-party financial analysis, commissioned by Keesmaat...

This article appears to have a lot of the writer's thoughts & opinions. She brown-noses Saint Keesmaat, so much so that you'd think she was a close relative. She didn't provide one different viewpoint, except for "bombastic C. Hume." Nothing like a disparaging remark to fluff-off another...

Other than TD, what boxes do you like?

Interesting article in washington post: Steven Pearlstein: Debunking the conventional wisdom about conventions http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/steven-pearlstein-debunking-the-conventional-wisdom-about-conventions/2014/06/27/77cac02e-fd5f-11e3-932c-0a55b81f48ce_story.html

The taller building is borororing. They won't even need an architect to build this.

^ what a shame. Such a great location but such an ugly building.

City planning dug in their heels & wouldn't budge. it got personal for them.

It sound's possible or as one of the other post noted it could be that they're waiting for special equipment. either way it's odd the way this is rolling out.

I didn't say it definitively, "It's got to be some kind of financial problem" My thinking was more along the lines of the developers cost estimates were short of what they actually need to develop the project or something like that. does anyone know if that has happened in the past?

It's got to be some kind of financial problem.

I was walking along Queen W. the other day and could just feel the history in those buildings, block after block, and hoping they were designated as heritage. It reminds me of old Toronto. Same with Spadina & the downtown Bay building. And so many other areas around the city. I don't quite...

Thanks, AofD. I thought it might Great Gulf or Menkes for exterior.

But it should have been designated as an historically significant parking lot. btw, does anyone know of a specific developer that has integrity for the quality of the interior and exterior?

I was at the meeting and greenleaf is right, the models look better than the pictures. However, it's still too boxy. I sure Gehry will come up with something with a little more flair. I know what I'm about to say is not a reason to have an issue with the project but she's such an a@s#&^*. The...
