    News on retail chains (was: New Mall Retail)

    Is it true that part of the PATH uses the Eaton Centre 24/7? If that's true, it would be difficult to even work on putting in new floor tiles overnight, let alone use scaffolding to replace the ceiling. I like the North Food Court - I often go there to avoid the craziness of the South Food...

    Yorkdale Shopping Centre

    Where did you hear?

    Toronto Eaton Centre

    Do you have a link? After a quick browse through SSP, I couldn't find anything.

    Toronto Eaton Centre

    I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been renovated. At least do something to the main food court.

    Does anyone know why are they doing this? To allow VS a higher frontage?

    Toronto Toronto | Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    That would be awesome, and I hope the city goes for it.

    Why were they evicted?

    Mid-Peninsula Highway/Niagara-GTA Corridor

    I know I am a little late chiming into this discussion, but I think a transportation link as EnviroTO puts it is desperately needed. I like EnviroTO's thinking and idea - a lot. With regards to the concerns for sprawl and inappropriate highway development resulting from a mid-peninsula highway...

    Toronto Toronto | St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    I think the green is way better than blue. We already have enough blue glass towers downtown. Time for a little diversity in terms of cladding on all the new towers under construction, and I think Trump will deliver on that front.

    News on retail chains (was: New Mall Retail)

    Regarding the above discussion, there was a good article on La Senza in the Globe and Mail today. It talks about Victoria's Secret opening 10-15 stores in Canada's "top malls" starting in 2010 with Ontario. Anyone know where or speculate where the first location will open? Yorkdale perhaps? La...

    Woodbine Centre

    I don't have any doubts for Sherway Gardens. Sherway was purchased by Cadillac Fairview back in 2000 from Canada Life Insurance Company (who doesn't own a lot of malls comparable to Sherway's caliber). Upon purchasing the mall, CF obviously saw that the mall had potential, and upon acquisition...

    401/Mississauga Road Service Centre

    It's a shame this service centre closed down. The building is just sitting there, rotting away. As far as Ontario service centres go, it had modern architecture, was well landscaped with an outdoor patio and a second level rooftop patio, and it also had business conference rooms on the upper...

    Toronto Toronto | St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    Those lights are classic Toronto streetlights (Toronto proper that is in respect to the former Metro). I've been wondering when they will go, but I doubt the city will ever part with that style. The most we would probably get is the poles changed. I think for this stretch of Bay around Trump...

    Shops at Don Mills (redevelopment, Giannone Petricone/Pellow + Associates )

    That's good that the Shops at Don Mills is busy on weekends, but comparing it to Yorkdale on the same day during working hours, the volume of people did not just compare. Unless the stores are unique and have just one location in Ontario/GTA (such as Anthropologie, McEwan, and McNally...

    Shops at Don Mills (redevelopment, Giannone Petricone/Pellow + Associates )

    I was at the Shops at Don Mills today and it was pretty dead. I know it was a somewhat rainy mid-summer Monday and all, but coming straight from Yorkdale (which was insanely busy as usual), there was a major, major change in the number of people. There's also a lot of vacancies with no "coming...

    Smart Centre developments

    Hopefully the rest of this SmartCentre will have this faux-rural architecture that the Wal-Mart store has. It at least somewhat minimizes the culture clash with the Farmer's Market and surrounding Mennonite community. The Wal-Mart is all that has been built so far, but there's more stores slated...

    Shops at Don Mills (redevelopment, Giannone Petricone/Pellow + Associates )

    Ohhh 75 The Donway West...;) I worked for a firm there for the whole summer last year and had a really good view from above of the gradual construction of the new centre. Did all my groceries at the Dominion too. Do the plans still call for 75 The Donway West to be turned into a senior's home in...

    Submission 12: Mackenzie Keast - arch bridge "promenade"

    Nice concept Mackenzie! All the best from one of your fellow colleagues ;). I'll take a close look at it and provide some comments once this hectic week is over.
