Sadly this project is now cancelled. The official website posted this update: "UPDATE: Museum Flats has been cancelled because we have not, to date, obtained the necessary approvals and a building permit. Despite our team’s best efforts and the expenditure of millions of dollars to launch this...

Don't expect much - most Nordstrom Racks remind me of Winners/Marshalls/TJMaxx, etc. Here's their stores in downtown Seattle and DC which is what I'm expecting the space to look like :/ But maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised since the Canadian Nordstrom stores are much nicer and more modern...

We're really getting into the Under Gardiner vs. Bentway name debate AGAIN? Sigh. Anyway, Bent 53 is getting painted by Olivier Bonnard with LoveLetterProjects. (Source: https://twitter.com/thebentway/status/908330797651947521) (Source...

Architecture firm Penda in collaboration with wood consultants Tmber proposes the Toronto Tree Tower, which is to be constructed using cross-laminated timber modules. Just... wow. I really hope this comes to fruition. I can't find any information on where in the city this would be located, but...

Can't wait to return to Toronto to take progress photos myself, but thanks for Katia Osokine for new pics of rearranged TTC access and Bay Concourse progress! (Source: https://twitter.com/KatiaOsokine/status/892491915790348288) (Source...

Along with Retail Insider's announcement that a McEwan grocery store is coming to 1 Bloor East, there's 2 small renderings of the Nordstrom Rack included in the article. It's expected to open in early 2018. This entrance at Yonge/Hayden will actually be for McEwan, but here's a rendering...
