What's your definition of 'wealthy'? Canada consistently ranks higher than Australia by GDP, however their smaller population does put them ahead on GDP per capita (where Canada outranks many European countries with much higher standards of public space).

That's just a lie.

The earliest idea(s) to make them colourful was the best:

There are two of those for about $10K/mo each...

That's a cute exercise, but without Madison agreeing to alter their site specific bylaw or NOAC to explicitly list Vinoly as their architect (and why would they do that?), there's no way for the City to enforce that Vinoly is their architect. Even if they did, but TFAI took over completely, what...

Ugh. Rearing its ugly head down on King Street…

I'd be willing to bet significant money it was not (unless under significant pressure from the client).

Thanks for doing this. What an absolute load of garbage. Then covering their tracks with the offer of a $1350 charge for the evidence is pretty rich...

No.

Why would TCHC want a micro-plate, difficult-to-construct, overpriced, hotel?

KS started general restoration in May 2015 and the rooftop addition in April 2017, @Rascacielo.

It's almost like something happened in the Toronto real estate market like 1.5 years ago that threw everything into flux... I don't disagree, but that's never going to happen. I'd love to introduce a 'tax by lot width' a la Amsterdam, but that's not the world we live in...

It's. For. Sale. \/
