    Public meeting did not go over well according to article : http://www.thebarrieexaminer.com/2013/09/09/waterfront-development-draws-fire-at-meeting

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    Jump1 seemed to explain this on March 31st : "The pace will slow a tad until the 3rd row of tie-backs are all stressed and test holes are drilled at the north end to determine precise depth of bedrock. The grade will then be reduced 3 meters to the 4th and final row of tie-backs. Caissons to...

    Toronto Toronto | Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    Uh oh..Looks like the first horizontal band, keeps getting lower and lower with each window. The first two are fine, the other's not so much. They don't even match up with each other!

    Toronto Toronto | L-Tower | 204.82m | 58s | Cityzen | Daniel Libeskind

    Good point, Gphorce. I noticed the same thing. I am also wondering where the other angled part is, where there is supposed to be a green wall, as shown in the revised renderings.

    Toronto Toronto | Ten York Street Condos | 224.02m | 65s | Tridel | Wallman Architects

    They should just rotate the building until one of the corners match up with the podium, giving it the illusion of a flatiron and they wouldn't even have to change the simplicity of the square floorplans!

    Hmmm, well I'm wondering why the sloping mechanical lantern has turned into a gigantic box like 'X'. Maybe they just haven't incorporated it into the video.

    Article: Spadina Subway Extension Construction Underway

    While I agree a subway extension to Mississauga should be built, I don't understand all of the hate for the spadina extension. Connecting one of the country's largest universities (also with a world-class tennis facility) should be a must for ANY city. Although Vaughan is currently a...

    Toronto Toronto | St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    That assumption seems to be about correct. The roof height of Trump at 256m and Bay-Adelaide at 218m leaves a difference of 38m. Assuming an average floor height of 3.5 to 4m that leaves the equivalent of about 9-10 floors, but I'm assuming all of those floors won't be occupied and also takes...

    Toronto Toronto | St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    In the last picture there, I think the height of Trump is accurately portrayed. Compared to seeing the diagrams on skyscraper page and this picture, the top of the dome is about the same height in the middle of the 'V' on Scotia. The spire is just slightly taller than Scotia and slightly...

    Toronto Toronto | St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    I'm guessing the stairs in the onion might be a three story penthouse suite? If that's the case, that would be one hell of a unit!

    Toronto Toronto | Living Shangri-La Toronto | 214.57m | 66s | Westbank | James Cheng

    Looking at the last two pictures, it seems that the latest formed balcony doesn't stick out as far as the rest. Perhaps a signal that the residential floors have begun.

    Toronto Toronto | Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    'Third' tallest in Floors, but not actual roof height, correct?

    Oh Tomms where are you?? I'm sure he'd be more than happy to sneak-a-peek up there!

    Mississauga Toronto | Absolute World | 169.77m | 56s | Cityzen | MAD architects

    Here is a pic from last Friday at Pearson T-3. Quite a robust looking skyline from the airport! Sorry for the quality!

    Toronto Toronto | CHAZ | 150.87m | 47s | 45 Charles Ltd | P + S / IBI

    Has anyone heard the Chaz jingle on the radio yet? I just heard it, and it's quite lame and cheesy. As the chorus goes.."Won't you daaaance with meeeee, in your world....your fantasy, Won't you daaance..etc etc".

    Mississauga Toronto | Absolute World | 169.77m | 56s | Cityzen | MAD architects

    I agree, the skyline looks quite massive from Pearson. It looks like any major city in North America. Tourists who don't have a 'good sense of direction or unfamiliar' with the area could probably mistaken it for Toronto.

    Toronto Toronto | St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    In that last photo by Steveve, when Trump rises with that vibrant green, its going to really stand out amongst BAC and Scotia in an awesome way! Just wait until the setting sun strikes it :)

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    Some interesting news: Source From http://www.yyznews.com/Mar.html Load Factor ---Porter's CEO Robert Deluce says the 3-year-old company is able to break even when its planes are half empty, giving it a competitive edge over rival carriers. Mr. Deluce disclosed that the privately owned...

    Excellent Update! Hopefully the cladding on the East face will now give way to some glass all the way across, or at least some more windows. The higher it's getting, the more unsightly it's becoming.

    Toronto Sprawl Aerial Shots By Forum Member Flar

    No, not much concern if everyone is doing their job correctly! It happens to be that many flights pass over Pearson because it is part of the flight-plan. The aircraft intercept the YYZ VOR or VHF Omni directional range, like a radio navigation system and sets the aircraft on a different airway...
