    Toronto Cherry House at Canary Landing | 50.32m | 13s | Dream | COBE Architects

    That's quite the hike for the Canary District or Distillery residents.

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Well, there used to be a full T&T in the Portlands when precisely nobody lived there, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

    That would actually be great. There's a very small pharmacy at King and River, but nothing else nearby.

    Toronto home: Power and Adelaide | 78.33m | 22s | Great Gulf | Core Architects

    Their store up near Castlefield is quite the place even if the furniture isn’t 💯 my taste. Nice stuff.

    I don't think governments should be shy to expropriate property when it's truly necessary to an important public project. Building a highway, subway, hospital, assembling a large park, especially where many properties need to be taken. But there's no reason why this specific site at this...

    Toronto 543 Yonge Street | 228.85m | 68s | CentreCourt | Arcadis

    Three completely different mediocre designs for the price of one! But the density is perfect for the area, no loss on the existing buildings, wider sidewalk. 🤷‍♂️

    Like anything "luxury". Nicer or perceived to be nicer than average. Some gyms include amenities or features that aren't found at a bare bones gym, such as membership caps, towel service, specialized equipment, fitness or medical testing, complimentary or innovative group classes (think barre...

    Toronto 80 Lynn Williams | 143.5m | 43s | Collecdev-Markee | gh3

    The fact that a tower is being shoehorned onto this site really shows how this neighbourhood has been a planning failure, regardless of whether you think LV is "full". This is one of the few untouched heritage buildings in the area that could be incorporated into a park or used as community...

    Toronto 180 Queens Quay East | 75.5m | 22s | Rom-Grand Waterfront Ltd | a—A

    I am beginning to think architects-Alliance (aA) is trying to kill street life in Toronto. They can do high quality (but relatively boring) towers, but their street-level work is atrocious, and somehow getting worse. St. Lawrence Condos at 158 Front (also aA) is probably the worst new-build...

    It's interesting that you think having to look at an object from far away "affects the entire population" and drastically changes a person's "quality of life". Must be a very tough existence with that mindset. Just don't look, darling.

    Corktown

    That is great news. One of my favourite trees in Corktown is on the east side of Sackville at Eastern, a huge oak or something similar. There is also a giant lilac bush and several very large evergreens on the school site (leaning against the chain link fence) that are rare downtown. I'm glad...

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    I will admit a preference for soft, indirect lighting in the home (like Northern Light, due to my middle age), but isn't this a matter of replacing lightbulbs? Or if the lighting system isn't working at all, suing the contractor? Since this is all likely LED or at worst fluorescent lighting...

    Toronto Bianca Condos | 37.79m | 9s | Tridel | Teeple Architects

    Dang, awesome pool and garden area! No shadowing at all and its giving more resort than the usual community centre-condo amenity vibes. Throw in some tropical plants and a margarita and I'm there in a jiffy in my speedo.

    Corktown

    I think the school looks fine. As DSC points out, the biggest improvement would be removing the ugly, very tall chain link fencing along Eastern and Sumach and replacing it with wrought iron or something more attractive. There is also an unfortunate surplus of asphalt along the Sumach side that...

    Oooh that is a bit trippy, actually! I'd never noticed. Once the glass goes in I bet it will be even more apparent.
