    VIA Rail

    The mono-spaced VIA RAIL CANADA on the cars is *chefs kiss*.

    GO Transit: Union Station Shed Replacement & Track Upgrades (Zeidler)

    More or less under Bay Street. This was a proposal for the rework of the loop fyi (source link has some other cross sections showing it under Bay). Source

    Toronto The HUB | 258.46m | 59s | Oxford Properties | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    What's the history behind it being "Harbor" on the building? I can't seem to find too much on when Canada fully committed to British Spelling outside of newspapers in the 1990s...

    Toronto KING Toronto | 57.6m | 16s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group

    Not a great look getting the grammar wrong on an ignorant reply! @Stefan likely just the angle as the floor plans certainly suggest there is concrete between units. The floorplans for these are all quite...unique. Also with the cladding taking so long, they can't start putting up things like...

    Toronto Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Westbank | Henriquez Partners

    Would be great to put a moratorium on banks moving into new condos. Vibe killer.

    Toronto Canary House | 50.3m | 13s | Dream | BDP Quadrangle

    I can't tell if you're all just saturation fans or if that heritage renovation is...a little bright.

    Toronto One Delisle | 155m | 44s | Slate | Studio Gang

    Bad news for those living in the apartments in the foreground. Appears their building is going to sink about three stories.

    Vaughan CG Tower | 188.97m | 60s | Cortel Group | BDP Quadrangle

    Excellent massing. Great little cluster forming in Vaughan.

    Toronto Concord Canada House | 231.97m | 74s | Concord Adex | Arcadis

    I was talking about the mech-section mid tower. Will await final judgment for these two queens' crowns.

    Toronto Concord Canada House | 231.97m | 74s | Concord Adex | Arcadis

    Can't trust ads given half the buildings glow like they emit radiation.

    Toronto Concord Canada House | 231.97m | 74s | Concord Adex | Arcadis

    The mechanical section breaks up what would have been a relatively elegant massing. They better have some sort of lighting to emphasize that maple leaf motif because it's a hot mess at the moment.

    Toronto Aqualuna at Bayside | 61.87m | 18s | Tridel | 3XN

    Not 3XN but a great firm called Squire and Partners.

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Can anyone provide a link to the correct LegDocs file with most up-to-date architectural drawings? The historic drama of this build has turned it into an absolute nightmare to sort through... (the reward is diagram updates 😇)

    Toronto Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    Forgot about this one...I guess we have a few more months still before we find out what we're actually getting.

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

    I went to the World Cup in Brazil in 2014 and watched the semi-final in Sao Paolo where they had constructed two massive temporary stands, not-unlike this. They were incredibly well built, to the point you didn't really realize they were temporary (if not for architecturally standing out like a...

    Toronto Scotiabank Arena Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | BBB

    Love that the renovations were planned for spring 2024 since there was no shot the Leafs were playing into June. Common project management W.

    Swing and a miss on the maple leaf motif. What a mess...

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

    Jersey barriers will soon be old enough to be historically listed and therefore unmovable (until they decide to just take the facade of the jersey barrier and put up a ho-hum condo behind it).

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    Seems to grind to a halt whenever they reach one of the mech floors. Makes sense given how different the forms are and how it's essentially a transfer slab every like...18 floors. Wonder if Pinnacle One will catch up. It's a pretty consistent floorplan as that one climbs and is substantially...

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini
