    Waterfront: Portlands Sports Complex (8s?, RDH Architects) DEAD

    A quick search reveals that this cost $42.7 million to build. That is for two rinks and the parking structure was already in place. Assuming that because this is an NHL facility with other luxuries, there might be a couple million (4-5?) extra that wouldn't be needed in a Toronto version...

    Berczy Condos, The (Concert Properties) - Real Estate -

    AFAIK, they haven't released a specific price list, but as per the "Sales Information Sheet" One Bedroom (565 sq.ft. - 650 sq.ft) - FROM $274,900 One Bedroom + Den (595 sq.ft- 830 sq.ft) - FROM $334,900 Two Bedroom (800 sq.ft - 1145 sq.ft) - FROM $439,000 Two Bedroom + Den (935 sq.ft -...

    Toronto Canoe Landing Park | ?m | ?s | Concord Adex

    Some good points. I'd go so far as to say that even some of the less acclaimed buildings east of Spadina (like HVE) would be appreciated more, if they were located elsewhere in the city. Looking at the great pictures that wylie provided, my only (additional) lament is that the orange cladding...

    Toronto Ripley's Aquarium of Canada | 13.11m | 2s | Ripley Entertainment | B+H

    I guess the question is how much of that 175,000 sq. ft will be aquarium and how much will be other "mixed commercial uses".

    X2 Condos (Great Gulf Homes/Lifetime Developments) - Real Estate -

    I think you guys are really reaching to even think that Baker staged this. As I said earlier, lineups like this happen ALL the time (and with the same amount of people). There were lineups and people camping out for Ice 2 just last week, but it never made the news. The only reason this...

    X2 Condos (Great Gulf Homes/Lifetime Developments) - Real Estate -

    It is interesting to note, that are now enforcing a rule like this. I think that would kill a significant percentage of foreign investment. And I think I've derailed this thread. Sorry mods.

    Toronto as a Global City? What's holding us back?

    While tourists may not flock to Toronto specifically to go to Wonderland, I don't think it is a stretch to assume that some of the tourists do end up at Wonderland over the course of their stay. The suburban, plebian tourists ONLY (i.e. the Newmarket-ites of the world) though. I'm sure no...

    X2 Condos (Great Gulf Homes/Lifetime Developments) - Real Estate -

    Great Gulf usually caps the number of units you can buy. For X2, I believe an agent can only buy one unit max, and bring in two additional clients (each also limited to one unit).

    X2 Condos (Great Gulf Homes/Lifetime Developments) - Real Estate -

    1 Bloor was craziness of several magnitudes more (in terms of the lines). That's without taking into account the huge inflation of the price per square foot. I don't think it has anything to do with Baker. Ice had people camping out as well, and Milbourne ran that show. You'd be surprised...

    Toronto One Sherway | ?m | 32s | Menkes | P + S / IBI

    Actually, Tower 3 didn't make it out of sales, not enough demand at the prices they were asking. So what they are launching now is technically the shorter "tower 4" (not sure if they are calling it "phase 3" or what) which is only around 19 storeys as opposed to 28. Their "plan" is to...

    Ïce Condos (Lanterra Developments, Cadillac Fairview) - Real Estate -

    700 sq/ft seems a bit steep. There are a few brand new units in Maple Leaf Square that are going for just over $600.

    Toronto BMO Field Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | Gensler

    That means that MLSE and ROGERS would have to come to sort of agreement. I don't see that being a likely scenario.

    Shops at Don Mills (redevelopment, Giannone Petricone/Pellow + Associates )

    I too visited "The Shops At Don Mills" in late May and I have a completely different experience. I was unable to find any parking spots in front of the stores, but there is a giant parking garage next to the LCBO, with plenty of spots. It was quite busy but I was still able to find parking...

    Mississauga Absolute World | 169.77m | 56s | Cityzen | MAD architects

    While driving by this morning, noticed that they have one of the concrete pump boom "things" at Absolute 1 (west of the core, along Hurontario). So that should make their job easier.

    Globe: Second NHL Team for Toronto?

    The NHL is a gate driven league. 15000 fans in a single arena with no luxury suite revenue is not going to work. Having it spread out amongst such a large geographical areas with multiple home venues isn't a great idea either. It's going to dillute fan loyalty. Look at the intense hostility...

    Toronto Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute | ?m | 9s | St. Michael's | Diamond Schmitt

    Thanks for that. In some ways, I wish the glass had something like this permanently (even if it were just a pattern applied via indentening/paint/decal) because I think it adds a bit of subtle flair.

    Toronto MuseumHouse | 71.01m | 19s | Yorkville Group | P + S / IBI

    6 floors down. Sweet, that should give me enough time to save up for one of these units .................. IIRC, correctly - the renderings show this one as if it were standing by itself in some park with only the ROM for company. The east/north/south sides have windows. Although the east...

    What is your favorite 160m+ building U/C in toronto

    I'll reserve my judgement until some of these projects are finished or close to it, because I think certain renders can be deceiving (positively and negatively). I think Telus is a prime example for my personally, if it were taller, on this list and I had to go solely by the render, it...

    Toronto Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute | ?m | 9s | St. Michael's | Diamond Schmitt

    Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question, but is there any method/pattern to the seemingly random "insert-technical-term" metallic strips that are placed on the edge of each glass panel ? Or is that just some tape ? At first I thought it was tape because they are a bit random but now...

    Globe: Second NHL Team for Toronto?

    I'm a bit late to this party (thread) but it is my understanding that Starbucks locations are corporate chains (the news about Quebec is new to me) and not franchises. Starbucks is certainly infamous for their market strategies as they are willing to open new chains and operate them at a loss...
