"It's the feel-good skyscraper of the year. A stunner!" - Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview

Fascinating, thanks. There was much more housing planned down there than I realized.

Very interesting, Jarndyce, thanks. The map (D) is particularly insightful. "Goblet Court" has been nothing more than a small hiking trail for as long as I can remember, whereas "Northborne Ave" was actually worked on with bulldozers fairly extensively back in the mid-'80s. I rode my bike...

Thank you for all your informative posts, Northern Light.

This is kind of a sister thread to my still-unsolved topic/query revolving around the destroyed Earl Bales Park footbridge. I remembered today that in the early-to mid-1980s, off Westgate Blvd, there were the very beginnings of what was to be a residential street with houses on it. It was...

Fantastic photo updates.

The black is a welcome contrast to all that light blue and green glass.

True, but it's not symmetrical without the extra floors.

The dozer at the top of the ramp has migrated five feet to the right due to the geomorphologic processes of the passing millennia.

I agree with you. Don't be embarrassed to state your opinion.

The design is uninspired, to say the least.

Assuming the tallest is no longer 832 ft.

Not much happening.

That's a shame. What a great vantage from which to view progress on several projects in the area.

I hope the Billy Bishop site is redeveloped. I guess my point is that the bridge would get very little use because its northern end-point currently is not a desirable destination for anyone on foot. Perhaps a small handful of residents of the newish condo buildings at Wilson and Tippett would...

I suppose any pedestrian bridge is better than nothing, but that pedestrian bridge across the 401 dumps its users into the middle of a windswept wasteland at the south end of an infernal "Smart" Centre, i.e. a massive parking lot peppered with big box stores. What is a pedestrian going to do...

Grr, me like loincloth, grr. Grr, bison! Where spear?

I'm not in the industry, nor am I well-versed in economics. What current proposals, if any, are imperilled by the putative impending crash? I know there's an ongoing urgent need for housing in Toronto, so I have a hard time squaring that circle.
