Out of curiosity, what happens if you've bought a penthouse in a project like this ... and then they tack on a bunch of extra floors? Do you get first dibs on moving up to the new PH level? Are you automatically moved up? Or had they not sold those floors yet, so that it is all moot?

I just returned from a trip to Sydney, and it was a real eye opener with regard to how far away we are from being a 'truly' world class city. Not sure where the bad decisions have happened in Toronto since there are so many, and I can see progress in a positive direction relative to where we...

I was really uncertain about this one initially, but in person you can see it really coming together. Going to end up being a nice addition to the local skyline.

Anyone have any updates on this project? Seeing that the TTC has most of Bloor East ripped up for their advance work, it made me wonder if there was ever a resolution with Brookfield and their Chiller relocation that might allow this Reno to go ahead. Haven't seen much chatter on it, but...

Aye, need to see more of it first to get a better idea of how it'll come together. It's no showpiece, but may end up being ok. My problem is that it reminds me a bit of that disaster going up in Ashbridges Bay right now, and that it is clouding my judgement somewhat.

Interesting argument. So you believe government's capacity to address issues is linear with no ability to address multiple items at the same time? Personally, I'm a huge fan of the paper bag thing. I rarely have my reusable bag for the LCBO with me since I often grab LCBO when I'm out but...

Anyone actually know what the issue with this site is? I'm just curious. Is Pemberton strapped for cash? Is this beyond their scope and they can't handle it? I can't personally remember another site that was active and moving this slowly ...

Boy, I've never really been sold on the heritage aspect of this particular block.

I was just wondering the same thing. Even got a bit excited in thinking I'd missed the new tower being taller ... too bad ... would have been great like that.

Anyone have an idea how many floors below 1 Bloor East it is at as of today?

Totally agree. I drive past it regularly and it shows well from all angles. It's definitely not a bad building, just a matter of taste imo.

Hmmmmm ... leaves aren't so bad in the end. Nowhere near as great as they could have been, but turning out better than expected from early photos.

Still a bit busy looking, but starting to work for me ...

Is it? Why so? I've only been watching it here and there, but seems true to renders, well built, not far off the timeline, and had to accomplish all that through lockdowns.

Hmmmmmm ... Feel like going with a British racing green or another dark accent color for the currently painted yellow trim on the heritage building might have worked better. The yellow feels a bit off there ... will need to see it in person.
