    Toronto Toronto | 214-230 Sherbourne | 154.9m | 47s | KingSett Capital | Hariri Pontarini

    Friendly neighbourhood appraiser here...The previous sale adjusted for market conditions between the sale date and the present date, would be a start, and would be given significant weight in an appraisal. The price paid has baked in some anticipation of probable use (redevelopment) and...

    Toronto Toronto | 2851 Yonge Street | 27.3m | 7s | Lanterra | Core Architects

    I love the massing. Something very human about the scale. I yearn for this on all our avenues, and a less denser version (1/2 should work) on residential streets close to main avenues, sloping down to three stories across much of the yellow belt. You might say I'm a dreamer.

    That is a stunning blue on those columns, I would love to see more of that around the city. It works with the orange as well, imho (humble opinion). But will the concrete not be painted as well?

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 344.9m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    If that's the joke, then I missed it too. I do remember Metroman's strongly held 'Apple or die' perspective. I like Apple products, but I stop there. Cult-like worship truly can never be healthy.

    Toronto Toronto | The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Retail vacancy is lower overall in the market and heading down to 4%, as per CBRE's market outlook presentation from a couple weeks back. This bodes well for well located retail such as the retail coming to The Well. EDIT: saying "well" three times was entirely accidental.

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

    I have a drone as well and could contribute to some photos/video, but I was not aware that we could (legally) fly over the Portlands given the flight paths coming in to Billy Bishop? In fact my understanding was nothing over 150m in Toronto was allowed. Is this not the case?

    Toronto Toronto | The Dawes | 126.48m | 38s | Marlin Spring | Arcadis

    Jesus, what year do these developers live in? I feel like I went back in time a few decades. Looks like a 1980's or 90's North York design.

    Toronto Toronto | George Brown College: Limberlost Place | 52.5m | 10s | George Brown | Moriyama Teshima Architects

    What a nice roofline for solar power. Unobscured, directly south facing. If that's not part of the plan, perhaps it should be?

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Pape Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Wow, I walk by Pape all the time, and never noticed construction had started anywhere, but along Danforth. I'll need to get my eyes checked.

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

    Has this increased the capacity from last year, with so many seats sitting closer to the action?

    Toronto Toronto | 83 Bloor West | 269.05m | 82s | Parallax | Arcadis

    Maybe permits should be a bit more progressive then. Or priced according to means and scale. I mean if dev charges are being refunded (aka extra profits for developers and truly nothing else), perhaps the city should consider ensuring infrastructure at least around each development, is paid by...

    Toronto Toronto | Concord Canada House | 231.97m | 74s | Concord Adex | Arcadis

    It's all so kitschy that I'd prefer it wasn't there at all. Are they calling this their art contribution? If so, it's a new low. Instead of this nonsense, they should have focused on the 'form' of the buildings, which look so janky and unimpressive.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Queen-Spadina Station | ?m | 1s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Sort of related, where are the entry and exit points for the boring machines for this line? Am I right to assume one is Exhibition Station, and the other is somewhere in Corktown?

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

    The Bgobgo light. Has a nice ring to it! It is nice to see these older structures of importance lit up properly. I hope something similar is done in the portlands with the eastern silo.

    Toronto Toronto | Portland Commons | 71.7m | 15s | Carttera | Sweeny &Co

    Personally I love WFH, which I am sure is the catalyst for the lack of lease up here... but I was recently visiting fam in Switzerland and I asked how the post-covid office world is there, and they basically told me almost everyone is back to the offices. There was really no debate. It's just...

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

    Oh don't you worry, I'll make sure to give it a little TLC. #tremcladadsfromthe90s
