The fine print in condo purchase contracts has always allowed developers to cancel under certain circumstances, that's not new. Developers do not typically want to cancel though as they have reputations to build at the same time they are putting their housing up. Cancelations are therefore rare...

What's a normal pedestrian? My friend who sneered at it saying it looks like a crushed tin can, or the one that was wowed by it? 42

Essentially, the earlier plan for the building proved to not be financially viable, hence the receivership. When a new developer takes over, it's par for the course for previous contracts to be cancelled, as the new developer typically looks for ways to make completing the building make...

Ehh, humour in posts without intonation is difficult. No snark was intended, it was all typed with with a smile (which is what the smilie was intended to point to). 42

Uh, so the Toronto skyline isn't yet interesting from the islands?! 😁 Oh wait, I read that wrong. Sure, it's already *interesting*... but send help, I get it! 42

Wet ones. 42

I completely agree that the Stair of Wonders needs an overhaul of its doors (yes let's hold them open, to be shut automatically if there's a fire), while also glassing in the stairwell to the halls, and replace the doors themselves. Yup, upgrade finishes, plus double the number of wonders on...

Woah, the hydro wires? Absolutely bizarre that they're in that rendering in the first place, but they also just look wrong. Who greenlighted that image? Same person who thinks they're getting $22 million for this site? 42

They haven't published a timeline as I believe that they are still fundraising to cover everything in their plans, hoping they find the funds to be able to just keep going until the plans are accomplished. I suppose if they don't find all of the funds within X amount of time, we will hear...

A few images from yesterday evening: 42

Some members don't like the look. Some like the look. This is all very premature talk during the construction process, and so typical for UrbanToronto construction threads to be exhaustingly boring. We always get members changing their tune when things are complete, as many seem to be unable to...

All of the stats are in the individual project threads within Quayside. No point in duplicating them here, that would lead to people expecting us to track cranes in the this thread, etc. The individual project threads is where all that will be going forward. 42

Okay, all posts from March 21, 2025 onwards concerning the park have been moved to this new thread for the 50 Queens Quay East Temporary Not Forever But It Will Seem Like Forever Park. We don't have a Database File for it yet, which means that there's no pin on the map for it yet, but we'll get...

Surprise! Front page story here, DB file updated above with pics like this: 42

There's so much to spend money on, transportation-wise though, that architecture is going to take a back seat to more infrastructure for a long time: we have piles of lines we want upgraded or added that are not yet funded, so a lot of people would ask why $$$ were being spent on a lavish canopy...

For those looking at that the original vaulted, glassed-in station... it was part of a visioning exercise that came from a developer that gave up on their plans for East Harbour and sold off the site when its reception began to look weaker than anticipated. Site purchaser Cadillac Fairview never...

:rolleyes: 42

Here's the deal: if @sixrings posts another troll post, they are gone, and others should think twice about responding. Enough is enough. 42
