Banks and phone stores… how do we have so many of them, and who is actually going in to them frequently enough!

I fear, outside of some initial “wow the facade is so unique”, a lot of the press will be around how these investor units that were sold during the high times are unliveable in reality. Perhaps Great Gulf will pivot strategies for the West tower and market it accordingly, but the public...

Don’t get me wrong, I love this tower, probably top 3 in the city.. but all I can see now is a top down view of a centipede

Might just be me, but earlier videos of it running seemed like it was going at a much faster pace. Has anyone measured the speed difference from before to now?

Build wide steps around that entire basin (like Chicago Riverwalk) and line that square with restaurants and patios! In the summer setup large projection screen at the south end and people can sit or float and watch movies together.

From the one dusk rendering we have, outside of the crown there won't be any other lighting. We also don't see much evidence in the construction photos except for maybe the lower corner balconies. Such a shame, we could really do with more architectural lighting in this city. Check out how...

I wonder if this map also indicates whether some stations could be expanded! It'd be nice to have more capacity at Woodbine beach!

If I remember correctly The Well has a knockout panel for the proposed Spadina GO? Imagine the PATH snuck along Front St connecting whatever ends up being built at 400 Front Street with The Well and GO Station (Which I still wish would become future “Union West”)

I mean… 🫤 High quality materials could make this tolerable I guess, but who am I kidding we know how this one will end up

Seeing the crown lit by construction lights reminds me of what could’ve been if the exterior lighting system from earlier design concepts were kept in place 😔

I mean it’s Bloor East / Yorkville area, if not here then where?

Whatever happened to the gardens at TD Terrace? I thought it would be filled with lush plants, and building amenities but the only pics I've seen of the sky atrium are from the opening and it seems like a pretty blank space.

It’s more like mass timber

No Love that this building not only has a publicly accessible park, but also a decent food hall, and more importantly a new bus station! The biggest “miss” is the nighttime lighting, wish it was a bit more visible and a bit more dramatic to really highlight those diamonds!

I might be reading the article wrong but here's an excerpt that made me think there's a separate venue: My guess is it'll be in the parking lot by Lake Shore where Digital Dreams used to be held.
