I really hope skygrid isnt ommiting the spot lights on the exoskeleton . Soft spot lighting looks so much better than harsh LED strips

Consultation with local residents is unnessasary and only serves to slow down the approval/building process, adding more costs for the buyer

I'm sure planning will drag their feet for 10 years and this might break ground in 2036

"Mull" 3-4 years of endless meetings before any concrete decision is made

Mink Mile was nicer before the 2010s. It really took a nose dive when Pottery Barn closed and the hideous Chic Fil A and Tokyo Smokes opened . Now Id rather buy around Yonge & St Clair or Bathurst/St Clair or Bathurst/Eglinton.

Monetary policy drove prices up across all of Canada during the Covid Bubble and the effects of this absurd liquidity continue to stimulate major cities across Canada. Foreign immigration/international students and mortgage fraud almost exclusively effect the GTA & Lower Mainland. Edmonton has...

It turned out more ''subtle' than I expected from the renders, which is a good thing! This was achieved by the balcony rail color matching the facade (as opposed to silver or grey balconies), and use of white paint under the balcony. I was expecting the balconies would get more obnoxious...

Rent is artificially high due to overly relaxed/low down payment requirements (too much leverage being passed down to the renter) and mortgage fraud. Which in turn, creates a new "floor" for the rental market. The countrys relaxed attitude towards substandard living arrangements (as opposed to...

It's overall good, except for the glaring absence of retail and boxy street level . It'd look much better with an arched colonnade Current lines are a bit too harsh.

I wonder how much pressure this new terminus will take off Kipling?

I wouldnt be excited due to both value engineering and community consultations dragging this out for 2 decades

Mixed feelings so far. Normally I hate cantilevers, but I love the curve on this one. Could do without the staggered dated wallpaper, but the material quality and color palette is decent.

They don't need to nessessarily make them in-house, just made in a bakery the same day. Krispy Kreme delivers same day batches of donuts from their local regional bakery. When they are baked fresh in the early morning, they taste far better than the often chemically/salty/margarine packed...

Tims is doing everything wrong. They should ditch the soups , sandwiches, ice cream etc and focus on making decent coffee & fresh donuts like Krispy Kreme. Then re-open seating in cafes and extend hours. The whole purpose of Tims is either desperation to stay awake (if I drank all my coffee in...

The exterior will likely end being lousy but the interiors are far superior to over 80% of new Toronto condos. They are Vancouver style layouts with large proper kitchen islands and gas cooktops. In a perfect world this would have been released in 2010 and I would have bought in here but alas

It's mediocre, but at least it's matte and the mullions are flush and match the spandrel, instead of the usual semigloss plastic finish thats crisscrossed by raised mullions in a different color.

What a difference it makes to have mullions that are flush with the spandrel. As opposed to semigloss spandrel covered in criss crossing raised mullions.

A lot of this would be improved by linking mortgage approval documents with a CRA verification/approval portal to stop the mortgage fraud that significantly bids up prices on the lower end of the condo market. Furthermore, the people perpetrating the fraud generally dont discern in the quality...

Or raise prices a little. When you have people pissing away at least $10 a day on UberEats delivery fees and tips alone, a $0.50-$1 increase on every item in a 24 hours store would be chump change for a lot of people.

The height increase is a good news to help make up for the possible height decrease next door, but Im hoping this is just a placeholder design, because it's unacceptable. It's lower quality than most high rise designs in the 905. It looks like it was designed in 15 minutes. And the cheap...
