  1. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | 38 Walmer Road | 80.65m | 25s | TAS | Hariri Pontarini

    Much better fitting design.
  2. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto Coach Terminal Redevelopment | ?m | 41s | Kilmer + Tricon | Studio Gang + a—A

    I’ll take it, anything to solve this dead zone in central downtown. Now for that parking lot.
  3. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | 530 Yonge Street | 224.8m | 68s | KingSett Capital | Giannone Petricone

    Awesome, that stretch looks really rough currently.
  4. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | 2 Queen West | 34.44m | 7s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    I wish the Harry Rosen store area could be extended to match this building's street wall. And then a new urbanistic facade across the entire Yonge Eaton frontage.
  5. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | 505 University | 212.89m | 64s | Cartareal Corp | BDP Quadrangle

    They need to preserve the entire 20s height of the existing building to maintain its sense of verticality. That's how it was always intended, even if it was built in two phases.
  6. 70Challenger

    Hamilton Toronto | Radio Arts | 47.6m | 14s | Canlight | KNYMH

    I can't stand when there is a brick podium but it has a fully glass corner. It makes the rest of the brick look 2d/pasted on instead of achieving the 'street wall' feeling that these podiums are supposed to replicate in the first place.
  7. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | 6167 Yonge | 52.04m | 15s | Republic | Arcadis

    The design looks pretty solid and cohesive
  8. 70Challenger

    Strathcona Hotel (60 York Street)

    Closest thing I could find to a "render"
  9. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | Hyatt House Downtown Toronto | 46.61m | 16s | Manga | Sweeny &Co

    Technically it is symmetrical, except for the base and sign My issue is with the white marble which looks random in that area with mostly brick.
  10. 70Challenger

    Lesser recognized buildings in Toronto that you enjoy

    Another gem robbed of its cornice. Hope the next restoration brings it back.
  11. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | Grain Lofts | 40.2m | 11s | Gairloch | Gabriel Fain Architects

    Glad to see increasing projects without balconies on every unit. It’s inefficient in our climate and they’re usually just plonked on without architectural articulation.
  12. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Many projects in Europe and US where they preserve old cranes in public spaces as artefacts and it always makes it more interesting.
  13. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | The Quay, Tower Three (was Maple Leaf Quay) | 66.44m | 21s | Pacific Reach | BDP Quadrangle

    They have a team set up to collect the flotsam, but the jetsam, unfortunately, is outside the budget.
  14. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    The wetland parts already look like they've always been here.
  15. 70Challenger

    Toronto 55 University Avenue Reclad & Revitalization | ?m | 18s | Bentall Green Oak

    There should be an IQ test where the answer is solely determined by if they would paint a concrete facade.
  16. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | KING Toronto | 57.6m | 16s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group

    I never saw that cladding mockup, people aren't ready for how good this is going to look!
  17. 70Challenger

    Toronto Love Park | 3m | 1s | City of Toronto | CCxA

    Clever installation parodying the tent invasion in Toronto! Any info on the artist?
  18. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | U of T: Academic Wood Tower | 77m | 14s | U of T | Patkau

    Probably it will speed up past this point as it gets to the tower levels, clear of obstructions
  19. 70Challenger

    Toronto Toronto | Bathurst Quay Revitalization | ?m | 2s | City of Toronto | Kearns Mancini

    They will keep the rust patina, they even painted the new supports brown to blend in with it.
