    Toronto Toronto | Minto775 King West | ?m | 17s | Minto Group | Hariri Pontarini

    A very very exciting retailer is opening on the ground floor. Shopper's Drug Mart.

    Toronto Toronto | Minto775 King West | ?m | 17s | Minto Group | Hariri Pontarini

    I'm guessing it's money (I'd assume the materials used in the lower portion of the building are more expensive than the top) & the fact that people have shown that they are still willing to buy into a building that is half attractive, half essentially forgettable. People have also shown that...

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle on Adelaide | 144.47m | 46s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Richmond, east of John, south side. It's got to be one of the largest ones left on the west side of downtown, it runs all the way to Nelson. I'd like to see something there as well.

    Well said Crimson Shadows. I feel the same way about Queen West. If it weren't for the photos posted by urbandreamer I would have blocked him/her long ago. There's only so much "this area is the next Scarborough"..."that area is the next Jane/Finch" one can take about pretty much every...

    And to think I was considering buying here (in early 2009!) What on earth was I thinking?

    Toronto Toronto | 305-319 King West | 156.96m | 50s | Claireville Holdings Ltd | Scott Shields

    I don't get why everyone keeps dumping on restaurant row. To each their own in terms of personal preference of food I suppose, but I am fully on the side of having it rather than not. Nawlins and Paese have good food. Joe Mama's and Nawlins often have live music. Most of the restaurants have...

    Andrew King and Avril Poisson. It's a joke lol.

    Construction is now about 1-2 floors above grade

    Toronto Toronto | The Britt Condos | 142.03m | 41s | Lanterra | Arcadis

    Hmm...I guess. Are Yonge/Charles, Yonge/Bloor, Yonge/Carlton all too far? Doesn't bother me (other than the sheer blandness of so many Shoppers Drug Marts downtown now), I'm not a shareholder.

    Toronto Hotel Victoria 56 Yonge St ( 8 storey addition )

    I really hope they don't ruin it. I quite like this stretch of Yonge (from the King area to Front). It feels like a real, old school downtown, almost New York-esque. Old buildings, lots of brick and masonry, buildings right out to the sidewalk with no setbacks. It reminds me of a bygone area...

    Toronto Toronto | The Britt Condos | 142.03m | 41s | Lanterra | Arcadis

    Funny how we seem to be experiencing a dearth of good architecture/architects at the same time we are experiencing a building boom. Or I guess it was inevitable. Either way, it is a shame. I think Sutton Place fits well on Bay St. I like the signage on top and remember it well from my U of T...

    Toronto Toronto | 77 Charles West | 65.83m | 16s | Aspen Ridge | HOK

    There's now a pretty interesting chandelier in the main entrance. It is essentially an upside down old fashioned street lamp hanging from the ceiling, sort of like something you might see in Beacon Hill, Boston or some other very old part of town. It's also very large, at least 9 feet in length...

    Toronto Toronto | MYC Merton Yonge Condominiums | ?m | 24s | Cresford | a—A

    Totally agree. Yonge/St. Clair is the best of both worlds. Beautiful homes, good buildings, excellent mix of retail on Yonge and of course subway access. I was fortunate enough to buy an investment property up there a few years ago and I couldn't be happier with the rental demand and price...

    Toronto Toronto | Clear Spirit | 131.36m | 40s | Cityscape | a—A

    That is an exact description of the dealership I bought my car at. They had about 8 spots underground in the condo next door, a miniscule surface lot (behind the building, not in front. The building came right out to the sidewalk). No mechanic/auto body facilities. Not to mention it was...

    Toronto Toronto | The Plant | 35.96m | 10s | Curated Properties | Kohn Shnier

    Dufflet no longer seems to be here as their website states a head office/wholesale bakery on Norseman St so I guess that's one hurdle cleared Interesting note, Kohn Shnier designed the retail outlet for Dufflet and is now designing the tower slated to replace their former head office.

    Well a 49 storey tower is proposed directly across the street at the NE corner of Strachan & Ordnance...

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

    I'm totally with you on that but let's remember that this is Toronto. By that I mean 90% of what passes for "mixed use" is really just 40 floors of condos with a dry cleaner and a coffee shop on the ground floor. Remember when Cityplace was supposed to be a great mixed use community? Ah, youth...

    Toronto Toronto | The Tower at King West | ?m | 26s | Plaza | BDP Quadrangle

    I'm also happy to hear that the finished product will include painted red brick (never thought I'd actually say that), becauase as is, this is the ugliest building currently under construction in the city of Toronto. Since this is a Plazacorp building, I don't know why it didn't occur to me...
