I thought this project was finish and what I saw today, its not.

The whole west end wall and part of the Bloor St wall is been replace. Didn't look at the north side to see what taking place there.

This isn't exactly new news and I'm not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but the old Torno penthouse (occupying the top two floors of the erstwhile 130 Bloor St West, and now suite 14 of 155 Cumberland) is on the market for $28M. Some sexy photos and floorplans with the listing!

LOL just slightly over priced! This makes the $17,500,000 11,000 sqft penthouse at Aura a down right bargain!

Bloor Street

What in God's name is happening at 130 Bloor West? There is a huge legal wrangle between the developer and residents about deficiencies. As a result everything is stalled over plumbing or cladding problems. No progress for over a year with this bizarre wooden "shed" straddling the sidewalk. The plywood is falling apart. This is Bloor Street - incredible!

The problems at 130 Bloor suck, not much can be done about that however you can call or write Adam Vaughan's office about the eyesore around the Varsity Stadium. I'm sure he can get that looked after pretty quick.

Shim-Sutcliffe are renovating the Torno apartment for its new owners - and the city is pushing back. I have a big piece up now (paywall):

Rich people problems. At a time of global pandemic and immense suffering, this is nauseatingly elitist and tone deaf. Architects and their hangers-on, the critics, do themselves no favours by indulging in the dead-end distractions of an infinitesimally small and incestuous subgroup of privileged "tastemakers." Bringing up Johnson's Nazi sympathies doesn't lend this nonsense any more relevance or potency.
