    Really? That's going to be a pretty small grocery store.

    Toronto Toronto | West Don Lands: Blocks 17 & 26 | 141m | 43s | Aspen Ridge | Core Architects

    https://toronto.citynews.ca/2023/01/13/toronto-dominion-wheel-foundry-eastern-avenue/ City News is reporting that the site was sold in March, 2022 without an open tender process to a company possibly related to Aspen Ridge Homes (owned by the DeGasperis family) for $101 million. There is no...

    Toronto Toronto | Biblio Lofts | 28.91m | 7s | NVSBLE | BDP Quadrangle

    I can tell you this one sold out quickly. I was on the list for notifications and the three bedrooms were gone before I even got an e-mail. I really like the style of this building.

    9.5/10 scientists say that the difference can't be detected with the naked eye.

    Toronto Toronto | The Rosedale on Bloor | 185.92m | 55s | Gupta | Arcadis

    This is one of the more bland / depressing new towers in the City, in my opinion. It looks like they took a Vaughan office park with cheap aluminum cladding and copy pasted it 55 storeys into the innocent and unsuspecting air. Also this may be my SAD talking, but I could never live in a building...

    I can't believe Adelaide Street has fully reopened. It's a literal Christmas miracle*. *pending 4-year shutdown of Adelaide Street for construction of Croc Rock Condos.

    If you can dream it, somebody stupid has done it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvula_piercing I can see it now, the UT Disco Ball Uvula Challenge on TikTok.

    Toronto Toronto | Scotiabank North Tower at Bay Adelaide Centre | 140.2m | 32s | Brookfield | KPMB

    It’s a terrible plaza. When you visit you are anywhere and nowhere, all at the same time.

    Toronto Toronto | Therme Spa/West Island at Ontario Place | 45.15m | 9s | Therme Group | Diamond Schmitt

    I understand your perspective and I agree the lack of transparency is unfortunate. Just one minor point: It is possible that the lease rate takes into account some perceived value of the buildings or improvements, but a commercial lease would never allow a lessee in default to auction off a...

    I'm not sure it's sitting with the City. When I checked a few days ago, most of the permit applications were closed, and two said "Examiner's Notice Sent", which could mean they got zoning approval, or some information was required from the applicant. It is very frustrating to see this space...

    Toronto Toronto | Therme Spa/West Island at Ontario Place | 45.15m | 9s | Therme Group | Diamond Schmitt

    I'm not sure I see the issue. Other than bringing electrical and water services to the island (which is admittedly a significant expense), the remainder of the funding is coming from private sources. This is also a lease, not a sale. If the business goes tits up, the land will remain publicly...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Corktown Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Wow that is quite the structure. I can't imagine that's for archeological purposes alone - looks quite permanent. Staging facilities?

    Toronto Toronto | 66 Wellesley Street East | 101.78m | 31s | ONE Properties | S9

    How is this different than what was already rejected at OLT? The problematic Church St. massing is basically the same, just somehow worse. I kinda hope the City rejects this... again.

    Eastern Avenue Bridge/DVP Interchange

    Do you know much more about this project? Is it a full reconfiguration / reconstruction of the bridges and onramps? I haven't heard anything about it, though I live quite literally overhead.

    They’re working on a Saturday. Looking sharp.

    Oh, we've been at "dud" for a while. This one is nowhere near as bad as Home on Power.

    Toronto Toronto | 65 King Street East | 82.9m | 18s | Carttera | WZMH

    Good news. Looks like it was painted a tasteful off white. Like a very light brick colour.

    Toronto Toronto | 57 Brock | 24.69m | 7s | Block | RAW Design

    While I'm never a huge fan of grey, the building looks almost exactly like the render, down to the window formats. I think it will look a bit better once the balcony glass is installed. Overall, decent job for a small development IMHO.
