This building sold out at the vip stage, i dont believe the general public had much of a shot at it, let alone foreign investors. Remember that this building will sit atop the Royal Milatary Thingy - my understanding was that many units were quickly snapped up early on by senior Canadian...

Per square foot of retail space, this is one of the most succeful and profitable malls in North America.

Looks like the rank and file, are still not getting the message http://www.nationalpost.com/news/canada/toronto/story.html?id=2523971 A TTC bus driver stopped at Tim Hortons on Sunday morning, and as it happens such events are now news in Toronto. Reporter David Menzies came across the stopped...

The granite will not be polished later on. The beauty of the system specified here is that the granite is part of the curtain wall system, ie panelized. The material selection was made long ago, and was specified to be "honed" or slightly rough looking. The intention was never for the granite...

That does look pretty shoddy. You would think that this will cause more wear and tear on the streetcar vehicles themselves. Almost makes the case for a do-over....

much like the gherkin (swiss re) in London by Fosters, there will probably be a mechanical floor near the top with retractable cleaning equipment. Fun job for the adventurous....

if these already haven't been posted, enjoy (but not the second one, that's the u of t!)

Thirded, often in massive commuter/passenger environments, like airports/transit hubs/etc, computational modeling software is used to identify choke points and probable passenger flows based on a number of parameters. There are logistics consultants (we've used Arup's in the past) that know...

so the idea is to put 'sliding doors' along the entire length of the platform. Therefore, the train would not have to line up with the doors? Ok, i'm still having difficulty visualizing this 'system'. Because, when a pair of sliding doors open, the door leaf slides behind on each side. In...

i watched it last night as well. Surreal. sliding door barriers are in place on a few of the stations along the Jubilee line in the London Underground. The experience there is a slight delay (a few seconds) for the train to come to a controlled stop aligned to the barrier doors. No telling...

i'm just saying...it could happen. But for my parents who sold their house in ronce's this kind of building is exactly what they are looking for. Also, childless couples with disposable cash that don't like to commute (DINK's). Riverdale/Ronce's are great places to live, don't get me wrong -...

Really? Layouts are pretty good for 2 bedroom units. Ensuite bathrooms and both bedrooms get full access to windows if not balconies. Pricing on the upper most floors for 2-3 beds was in the 550k - 650k range which compares pretty well considering: Location/View/Builder/Architect The last...
