    Toronto Toronto | Birch House & Indigenous Hub | 50.3m | 13s | Dream | BDP Quadrangle

    Too bad, since Canary Dental is already on Front Street East and they are great.

    Toronto Toronto | Cherry Place | 55.7m | 13s | Rekai | Montgomery Sisam

    Good news! The Rekai building includes a Seniors Assessment Centre, dialysis centre, a blood lab (that will offer public access), and a potential physiotherapy clinic (TBD). No pharmacy, but I think the residents will be served directly.

    Toronto Toronto | Cherry Place | 55.7m | 13s | Rekai | Montgomery Sisam

    Attended a by-invite community meeting with Rekai and their construction manager last night. They indicated construction mobilization will be in January, 2025 with excavation / shoring to begin in March, 2025. Approximately a two-year timeline to completion. They seem to be working on a tight...

    My biggest problem with Ookwemin Minising is that it doesn't describe the "thing" in an understandable language. Nobody knows what a Minising is and it just means "place". So in order to understand what you're talking about, especially with a stranger, you're almost compelled to say Ookwemin...

    Toronto Toronto | The Pemberton | 215.79m | 68s | Pemberton | a—A

    When they say this building creates 10,000 person years of work, they actually mean one family working for 100 generations.

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    I think it depends who wants to do the rezoning. The federal government has constitutional power over aeronautics, so if it wanted the airport to remain, the province / City could likely not rezone the land to prohibit such use. As for adopting taxes or taking other actions specifically to...

    Toronto Toronto | 134 Parliament | 156.3m | 46s | Lamb Dev Corp | a—A

    The settlement for a 46-storey tower at 126-134 Parliament Street was approved by the OLT on October 18. https://www.canlii.org/en/on/onlt/doc/2024/2024canlii102757/2024canlii102757.pdf

    Toronto Toronto | 506 Church | 159.25m | 48s | Graywood | Diamond Schmitt

    Don't worry so soon. This revision will never be approved by the City. I don't even see it being approved by the OMB given that the developers at 66 Wellesley Street East lost so, so (so) hard at the OMB on their proposal for a 36-storey tower: [214] It is principally the height of the tower...

    May I introduce you to... Toronto.

    Toronto Toronto | Keewatin | 14.75m | 4s | Freed | RAW Design

    I'm not sure I see the issue? No obvious defects, glazing is good, it looks almost exactly like the renders.

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

    This thread is getting off track. To me, graffiti anywhere that it isn't explicitly or implicitly authorized is a sign that people don't care about each other, they don't value private / public property, and that law enforcement or maintenance is poor. Whether you like it aesthetically or not...

    Toronto Toronto | Bathurst Quay Revitalization | ?m | 2s | City of Toronto | Kearns Mancini

    Excuse me if this has been answered (I do review the forums), but is there a plan to project images onto the silos outside of special events? Even having a still image such as the one below without a whole production would be amazing.

    Toronto Toronto | 214-230 Sherbourne | 150.55m | 46s | KingSett Capital | Hariri Pontarini

    This area is getting a curious number of luxury proposals considering it is steps away from The Worst Intersection in Toronto.

    Toronto Toronto | 517 Richmond East | 155.5m | 45s | Colonia Treuhand | Sweeny &Co

    Poor Corktown. First the bland East United, then the Borg Cube (Home on Power), and now this... spandrelfest thing.

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    If you want to kick off the island residents, have at it, but how is it relevant to whether Billy Bishop is better used as a private airport or public space? For context, 1.5 million people visit the Toronto Islands each year. If Billy Bishop were turned into parkland with better public access...

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    The issue isn't the number of parks or trees in the entirety of Toronto, but where the parks and trees are concentrated. High Park and the Don Valley are nowhere near downtown. It is well documented that downtown Toronto is hugely park-deficient. There is little vacant land land left to turn...

    St Lawrence Market

    I still want to know why there are 18+ poles at this intersection. I mean, I know why, but I want to know why the City / Toronto Hydro / TTC think it's acceptable at possibly the most touristed / photographed intersection in all of Toronto.
