    Toronto Toronto | St Lawrence Market North | 25.3m | 5s | City of Toronto | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    Yeah, but if someone searched "grey" or "gray" in City of Toronto and related suppliers emails, the results would create brownouts across the Northeast. Our grid simply isn't prepared for such a search. 42

    Cranes in the GTA (first 3 posts regularly updated)

    Please remember that the RLB Crane Index only represents the cranes in the cities that they have offices in, so it misses hundreds, probably thousands of cranes across North America. (No cranes in Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Dallas, Orlando...

    We have a front page story up here, covering both this site and the west site. There's a lot I like about this proposal, but I have to give a particular shoutout in this regard: the west tower, with 563 units and the east tower with 472 units would each have 7 elevators, meaning 1 elevator for...

    We have a front page story up here, covering both this site and the west site. The elevator counts are quite good here: the west tower, with 648 units and the east tower with 681 units would each have 7 elevators, meaning 1 elevator for every 92.6 and 97.3 units respectively, comfortably under...

    It's not the elevator ratio isn't terrible now, it's that the elevator ratio is GOOD now. 1 elevator for every 100.5 units has to be applauded. 42

    Hmm, we need an 'alas' emoji. 42

    Wychwood Barns conversion project (Artscape, 1s, DTAH)

    I haven't caught the latest season of Blown Away yet, but have seen everything up until that so far. It's a surprisingly fun show that wasn't expected by many to do well as it's so niche… …but it's the niche that makes it so interesting in the first place, as far as I'm concerned. My dad worked...

    This is THE WORST marriage of podium and tower ever, right? 42

    Toronto Toronto | 19 Bloor West | 317.4m | 99s | Reserve Properties | Arcadis

    The Alberni has actual design flair to it, curves that have aesthetic qualities. How is that at all parallel to a design with no concerns other than for maximzing the building envelop on a ridiculously constricted site? Because that's the only thing going on here. 42

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    Here are the additions to this year's offerings while you're at the bird's nest: Posters, bobbleheads, shirts, hats... New menu items include tiramisu, cannoli, Crush floats, loaded mac'n'cheese, vegan tacos, "snow" (cheese dust) fries… stuffed Jamaican patties, and, what I consider the...

    If it's real copper, it'll go green. If it's real. It doesn't need to be real. 42

    Well... I'm not saying this is may favourite design ever, but I'd like to see them try to get those elevations as coppery as they are depicted. 42

    This bite out of the south wall to provide more light and privacy between 19 Bloor and The Uptown is… …basically the stupidest thing I've seen since the movie Sausage Party. I was warned by friends, but I was still curious, and I paid the price, but now, this?!?! Actually, it's not the...

    @Northern Light I think you're underplaying the costs to an architectural firm of walking away from a project. Companies have payroll and many other expenses to make monthly, so they have to bill clients. I understand that you would not want your name associated with a developer who was going to...

    I was at the event last night. The Scott Street closure and connection has not been fully designed yet, but they will end up with a connection that allows permanent pedestrian (and I think bicycle) connection. Regarding the need for a café mentioned above to help animate the Scott Street...
