    Toronto Toronto | 55C: 55 Charles Condos | 167m | 50s | MOD Developments | a—A

    I like this build also, MOD is one of my favoured builders. Would I love to see a Stern in here to mix it up? For sure, or really anything with a unique form, or material for the area.

    Toronto Toronto | Rail Deck Development | 239.43m | 72s | LIUNA | Sweeny &Co

    Had this very discussion with my BIL this weekend, as they are from the States. The terms are synonyms, and you learn about both in Canadian RE law courses, but expropriation is the only one term used in Canada - just as you have indicated. I know around New York there are places near transit...

    Toronto Toronto | 241 Church | 170.7m | 53s | Graywood | Turner Fleischer

    I imagine they will take that decision to TLAB and if needed the OLT. I love the idea of less parking to no parking, but part of me thinks some parking for rideshare, and bikes at minimum should be present.

    Toronto Toronto | Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Voted, and enjoyed it. I love the Zeidler one, though I worry it doesn’t have enough natural elements as you go across the bridge. I really also like the EXP one, for its unique form, both with ramp and steps, if I’m seeing that correctly. In the end I chose Zeidler, simply because I feel the...

    Toronto Toronto | Hospital For Sick Children: Patient Support Centre | 99.06m | 22s | Sick Kids | B+H

    I remember those old clinics in the University building. The new addition was so light and airy in comparison, with your own personal washroom and a TV all to yourself. It felt luxurious to me as a kid.

    Toronto Toronto | Hospital For Sick Children: Patient Support Centre | 99.06m | 22s | Sick Kids | B+H

    Regarding the older patient wing from the 90’s, I spent a 1/2 year in that wing. Please leave it be. From riding the glass elevators, meeting celebrities, the arcade room, and the “chill” rooms jutting out over the cafeteria below, that hospital was always sad to leave as a kid, even after...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: King-Bathurst Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Are they saving 662 and 668 King St W's walls? Both buildings are important I think, adding a lot of warmth to that side of the street.

    Toronto Toronto | 36 Eglinton West | 199.99m | 59s | Lifetime | Wallman Architects

    Correct, but highest and best use valuation for assessment in Ontario is complicated. There are two parts as many know, the assessment and the tax rate. The assessment should be based on highest and best but sometimes that assertion is harder to prove in court when there is a building present...

    Toronto Toronto | Q Tower | 197.4m | 59s | Lifetime | Wallman Architects

    Seems a wasteful use of the overall lot area available, for such a prime location.

    Toronto Toronto | Freed Hotel & Residences | 219m | 63s | Freed | AS + GG

    There were almost equal sized house and drum n bass rooms at certain big (10,000+ sized) jams when some of us were going in the late 90s and early 2000s. Oh, sweet memories of large rave pants. So, so, comfy.

    Vaughan Toronto | Festival Condominiums | 189.05m | 59s | Menkes | Arcadis

    I can't believe that quote is from 2021.

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT: Eglinton Station | ?m | 1s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I’m sure this is answered already, but what is the new concrete structure in the middle of Yonge street, north of Eglinton? Is that a future entrance or will the road simply have a divider there? Looks like more than a divider though.

    Toronto Toronto | 1795 Danforth Avenue | 22.55m | 7s | CS&P

    This one is back with a city-organized community meeting on June 22nd.

    Toronto Toronto | The Hill Condos | 162.2m | 50s | Metropia | Arcadis

    Sorry to bump, but I am very curious how this site receives a ZBLA, and then adds some GFA on to the total via site plan docs to increase the density. The tower gets taller, and the density increases. Would this not need another ZBLA? Or is the answer possibly a minor variance? I see...
