How did something so architecturally lousy come about? Did they overpay for the property and have to build as cheaply as possible?

It's a weird situation. I'm thrilled about the ambition behind the idea, but I'm devastated as to Ford's 1950s-era mentality of focusing only on making driving as easy as possible in addressing our transportation needs. You know what the electorate has been saying for decades? They want fast...

The proposed Collegiate Gothic Revival architecture looks to be of high quality. I'm looking forward to this project.

It’s interesting to see a steel-framed residential high-rise building going up. Steel-framed residential towers are quite rare in the region.

It's not necessarily the art. All the textures of the concrete on the floor, walls, and ceiling, coupled with the many columns and the wiring on the ceiling, compete for the eyes' attention with the art itself. Solid-coloured walls in a neutral colour would create a neutral background for the...

The number of units with terraces is phenomenal. Terraces make units more livable and attractive.

I thought they did a great job with the Stockyards District condo. But you can see some subpar details even with one of their better projects that you wouldn't necessary get from other developers. For instance, despite the Stockyards District's large mechanical penthouse, they still ended up...

The large driveway in front is dated and regrettable. This building should do a better job of creating a street wall.

It's a handsome building that frames the public realm nicely. It urbanizes what was previously a forgettable suburban road. I like the sloped landscape walls. They give it character. The colour palette is forgettable, though. I find that the colour palette of new builds has been a weakness of...

There's also a lot of retail in the neighbouring Smart Centres plaza. While it's an off-putting car-dependent plaza that has litter issues and dying trees along the main street, it does have a few chains that are quite practical. I'd love to see it get redeveloped with well-designed condos with...

The concept is fantastic, but the architecture is terrible. Please don't build this bulky and overbearing design. It's awful.

That could be said about a lot of places served by streetcar in the city, unfortunately. The benchmark for surface transit speed needs to be something quicker than walking.

It's a great plaza with a striking and unexpected neo-modernistic folly ;)

It's a near-waterfront property in a desirable neighbourhood. They can afford to be ambitious with a well-designed mixed-use and mixed-income development.

Non-private school architecture (from the public and Catholic boards) tends to be underwhelming nowadays in Toronto.

All of the buildings in this development village have interesting details, but I dislike the repetitive colours and the generic shapes of the towers. You see so many boring 1960s slab towers in North York while travelling along the 401, and this project feels the 21st-century equivalent of that...

There are no known structural or Building Code issues with Mount Dennis or Caledonia stations that would prevent them from being used as GO stations. Even if the LRT can't be used, they could still get occupancy approved for the station buildings if they wanted to (so that they could be used as...

I'm hoping that they've come to their senses and realized that there are a lot of things that can be opened even if the LRT line isn't open yet. Here's to hoping they realize they can open the Mount Dennis GO and UP Express platform for people to use today, even if the LRT line isn't open. They...

So we should encourage everyone to drive to work by subsidizing their parking? There’s an excellent bus route that passes by this school. A spot for everyone is regressive planning and a waste of money.

Almost no surface parking is impressive. But are 60 below-grade spaces really necessary for a neighbourhood elementary school?
