No, @Red October is correct, the arm that stretches down Beverly Street was from the 1993 Barton Myers PoMo expansion. 42

Dammit! If only I had done a kotsy on Monday, we could have had a full week of kotsy PoTDs! 42

There's no indication that construction would start here for many months. Lots of time to unveil concepts, get feedback, make changes, and still start some portion of it before the end of the year. 42

Yikes, what an awful come-down. Horrible bunker now. I hope it never gets built. 42

The Province has not given City Council the power to make decisions based on style, so we do not have an architecture czar. Urban design decisions all have to be made based on planning principles built on measurable, quantifiable factors. If you'd like that changed, petition the Ontario...

A 19,900 sq ft gym is planned for the 2nd floor bullnose space. The second largest unit on this level about 8,300 sq ft. A third unit of about 2,000 sq ft is down a long hallway. I doubt either of those units would attract food-related commercial. On the ground level, the largest Commercial...

Damage can occur during shipping, storage, or the installation process. Fixes always depend upon the availability of similar pieces. Sometimes there are spares that can make for quick fixes. Sometimes replacement pieces have to be specially fabricated. It often makes more sense to place the...

If the third tower is Chrome... did the first two also get monikers I missed? Naugahyde? Bakelite? Pleather? Formica? Insulbrick? 42

Still 687 suites, still 5 elevators. 137.4 suites per elevator... and I still say that one suite per floor should be sacrificed for one more elevator shaft, allowing remaining suites to be marginally larger while dropping the number to 640, now served by 6 elevators so the ratio improves...

We could install an IKEA style layout with giant arrows on the floor to follow as people are taken through a maze-like visit of the Station's numerous features, exiting through a new Marketplace and then cash registers facing the Front Street doors. Beats me why Osmington hasn't already done...

The podium floors will match the levels behind the 481 University walls (from 1961). I believe they'll be a bit oddly positioned for the older facades facing Dundas and Centre streets, so it'll be interesting to see those interiors when complete. 42

Things are changing in the construction industry at the moment, and we are bringing in two experts to talk about how the business is evolving with the times. UrbanToronto will launch a complimentary webinar series for 2026 beginning next week, sponsored by our friends Urban Racks. The first...

Well, good for Cuzzetto for assembling the crane! Part of the crane! 42

None of the LJM proposals are under construction at the moment at least… 42

Really looking forward to them staining the precast as per the renderings this Spring! 42

I thought I'd do a little digging back through the thread and archived early versions of the Database file. The first version of our Database file for this site is from June 14, 2011, and the lead-off image was this: Different chandeliers of course, but that's the earliest date I can pin an...

This thread started 20 years and 9 months ago, so I'm going to claim a little more than 5 years, myself! 42

None of these, as you may have understood from the previous reply, is going ahead at this point, at least not along the Golden Mile section of Eglinton. When any of them does advance, you'll see that thread pop to the fore since someone will report actual news. Right now though, Line 5 or not...

The complex is still generally massed and coloured as bKL Architecture initially designed it, although yes, there have been changes to the details. It would feel like revisionist history to remove their name from the Design Architect position in our database, like we'd be pretending that they...

The point being made, I believe, is that Finch just isn't different enough from St Clair to warrant a single digit number and that Finch should be a 5XX line. Line 5, at least, is a light metro with an LRT appendage at its east end. In the meantime, not perfect, but so much better today than...
