SUCH weird style choices. It reminds me of a 90s / early 2000s Vancouver condo -- not in a good way.

Just a reminder that the Community Consultation for this proposal is on Thursday, November 6. What: 1, 2-16 Sumach Street and 90 Eastern Avenue Community Consultation Where: Cooper Koo YMCA, Community Room 2nd Floor (461 Cherry Street) When: November 6, 2025 @ 6:00pm to 7:30pm Members of the...

It's insane that the Dowling pedestrian bridge has remained temporary this long. In November, It will be 10 years since it was demolished and, function aside, it looks like a pile of garbage.

Looks like a gas/utility hookup, probably Enbridge (not the City) at the request of the developer. I'm sure the interlocking will be replaced. The sidewalk.... probably not for a long while.

Today. They are very busy beavers with at least a dozen workers on site. Now about as tall as the north Metro Hall tower!

The islands would have to have multiple outlets to meet Code. Lots of "luxurious" ways of hiding them. Regarding gas stoves, I believe they are inferior to induction for cooking. But preference aside, putting gas stoves in new condo buildings locks us into infrastructure that creates greenhouse...

It's unfortunate, as they were decently healthy and "mature" for the neighbourhood (though unkempt), but as explained above there weren't many other options for staging this project. All I will say is that Rekai has been very communicative with the neighbourhood associations and I have no doubt...

The Sky to Meatballs Bridge.

From what I could see, they are only doing the concrete on the outside of the tracks and not the tracks themselves. Thankfully.

I'd say this is a decent layout. Tons of balcony space and light. The bedrooms are separated and both have a closet (small, yes). The primary has more than enough room for a dresser if you get rid of the voyeur chair. The second bedroom does if you get rid of the desk. There's even a tiny...

The taxi industry has been providing terrible service with no innovation for decades. That's why when Uber came to town the taxi industry garnered little sympathy, even though they were deeply affected. I don't take Uber -- American and they have no respect for the law. Lyft played by the...

This is more likely to happen than other projects. They've already filled in part of the quay, the west side of the project is done, and Queen's Quay East will be extended. There will be some temporary treatment. It doesn't make sense to build the full project until Quayside is under...
