    Toronto Toronto | 267-275 Merton Street | 134.5m | 40s | Collecdev-Markee | gh3

    Or a mix of moss & willow green. I don’t care, as long as it stays in the green fam.

    Toronto Toronto | Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    When real estate bros w blinders on enter the chat. Other big factors are at play w this huge development. Yes, market dynamics (of course) + iconic vision of a legendary hometown architect-there’s a lot of pull in that. And sales have been surprisingly impressive w Forma. So? Wealthy big city...

    Toronto Toronto | Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    I was definitely being more an optimist. So save the condo development & financing lesson-I’m well aware. And I strongly believe both Gehry towers will be built in his hometown. The nostalgia legacy thing is real; Lotta smart wealthy people appreciate iconic architects- 50% of the suites sold...

    Toronto Toronto | Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    There must be a second tower. Not that I trust Toronto & the powers that be, but I do trust Frank Gehry Inc. w their drive & iconic vision.

    Toronto Toronto | Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Game changer for the city- Frank Gehry’s Forma. And don’t let anyone tell you differently. Moves UP a big notch. A little bit more variety & vibrancy of material & colour in skyline & T.O. is just winning going forward. Next Up: Streetscapes & Pedestrianizing streets.

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

    Multi, modern & attractive seating in a Toronto park!?

    Toronto Toronto | The Bentway (was Under Gardiner) | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Good idea. Good look.. Good philanthropy for the public realm. But the city & Bentway people must understand they need to re-paint everything under the expressway-viaduct columns too-or the view looks kinda shabby. Incomplete. Refresh w paint!! Still some sections looking rough.

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    In Toronto, there’s that one gorgeous red building & a sea of uniformity-colouring-wise. Like a “Sim replicant of towers” as someone put it. T.O. is not blessed with beautiful neo classical arch. that adds to a more interesting & classically beautiful skyline. It’s a nice skyline but IMO, it...

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    I don’t know. Shades of the gold or amber climbing up this building tall tower would make it stand out more. Not the same.

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Blue & gold? Yes, please. I’ll take it. Ditch the grey forever.

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Yeah, esp. here. Overwhelmingly blue-grey. Not in other cities. In UK this summer, newer high rise windows with amber & yellow tints were evident there. Looks so much better w sun & on greyer days. So, it’s a real thing!! My initial point was same materials always used & same glass towers were...

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Same glass colour exteriors, materials & building envelope as every other high rise in the city. It’s all the same colour scheme. Its ridiculous. It’s beyond budget. It’s just lax, neglectful, thoughtlessness of Toronto as a city & its skyline. And local developers & architects need to be called...

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

    The absolute nerve of them. All of them. So brutal.

    Toronto Toronto | 400 King West | 157.37m | 48s | Plaza | BDP Quadrangle

    Noted. Still that stretch of King W is looking so much better.

    Toronto Toronto | 11 Pleasant Boulevard | 62.75m | 19s | Resident | BDP Quadrangle

    Do not go the cheap route. Do not go grey. Stick with best materials …for once.
  16. S

    Toronto Toronto | 400 King West | 157.37m | 48s | Plaza | BDP Quadrangle

    I’m liking this building a lot. King St W is gonna be looking real nice & eclectic soon enough with 388 King W etc .. in pre construction. Hopefully more patios, parks & spaces in theatre district area. If only the god-awful Hyatt Regency building wasn’t there.

    Toronto Toronto | The Residences at Central Park | 105.9m | 31s | Amexon | Core Architects

    Amexon never fails to be unimpressive & so underwhelming as developers. Cheap & tacky construction.

    Toronto Toronto | L-Tower | 204.82m | 58s | Cityzen | Daniel Libeskind

    Don’t be like Dubai’s skyline, Toronto. …Cold. Colourless. Characterless. Monotonous.
