You know when you take something large out of a box, and it’s still encased in non-descript styrofoam? They turned that into a building That being said, good lord I can’t believe they haven’t sealed up the buildings yet. This thing is the North Market of rental condos.

For a hot second I thought they were just prepping for the Christmas market parking lot

From the last little while

I keep wanting to believe that they have the data and the know how. But I’m both surprised that this didn’t exist before- a rack outside a large employment centre that was in the middle of nowhere to begin with- and also questioning why we built a parking lot across from the park and didn’t put...

Sunrise city

Nothing could make me hate the new CIBC towers except for the crude way they’ve permanently obstructed the view of the CN tower from the east. Hate it. Hate it in the face.

Are all the trash bins in the playground? Will they be needed elsewhere?

We’re getting turtles!

Hrm, guess there IS an angle on Goode that makes me dislike the building.

Forgot about that- buuut arguably, Biidaasige Park straddles the river, and seeing that we haven’t moved all those posts into a new thread for the park- I think it’s allowed. I think it’s gonna be wild when we put up a gazillion condos bordering the new park, then have everyone complain about...

As per the City of Toronto Parks tradition, the public bathroom will only be open for 17 (non-consecutive) minutes each day between May 32nd and August 5th. Check the city app, which will redirect you to a website (fingers crossed sponsored by Tangerine) for availability. Note that the city...

Working on the 23rd story.

Swans. Alright, eeew, are they really putting in two roads and ruining the vibes with a complex to the south? Way to turn an oasis into a parkette for condo dwelling dog owners Speaking of which, finally saw the enclosed dog run Post Storm sediment. I DID notice the edges of some gravel...

Yeah but ONLY if they hang an old streetcar from it

The moment I had to consider they invented hoverlifts

one note I wanted to make today was omg they were surprisingly lacking in bike infrastructure. I would have thought they’d set up a bike share valet or put in a rack. Nope. But I did notice a lot of pairs and family sets of bikes locked up together on just about everything around the play area...

Was up there a couple weeks ago and was able to get a few feet from the edge, which is how well behind the new fencing. The levelling sounds interesting .

Curious as to why they fenced in more of old cherry leading up to the former bridge. Anyone know? Also noticed they didn’t save any of the old fire hall mural.

In all fairness, we can’t even get developers to pay for fundamentals in the city and around their projects. The notion that we’re going to collectively push private developers to make things look better is kinda laughable. Anything with the public purse? Forget about it. They value engineered...
