    Toronto 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    Another hack job but an update, nonetheless. Not 100% on what's going on up top there right now but suffice to say it's going to be a lot of complex bracing for the crown.

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

    Bit of a hack job, this one. Life's been a little bit hectic so apologies for the delay (and drop in detail!)

    Will be a hell of a canyon on Front once this and the various "Union" buildings get built.

    I can just repost the same one over and over with a different date at this speed... 😅

    Black is slimming and this one's a chunky boy.

    I think my first diagram of CIBC got like...72? But I'm sure @steveve has me beat somewhere (and deservedly so, his 3D model is a triumph!!).

    North podium always felt like an afterthought...I don't think a single render showed it which is pretty telling. Has a very "oh crap where do we put xyz?". Stick it in a glass box.

    Well if that's the case this should be correct...honestly very hard to judge floor jumps as the scale is kinda crazy right now! The form work is making this a little difficult as well but as it rises should get more accurate :)

    Working on a diagram and feel like I need a microscope every two months to see any change...we're waiting on the 10th to be poured now?

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    Just flew a 787 back to Vancouver (was packed). Probably my favourite of the fleet. First time in Pearson for a while (sadly will be have to connect through again a few times). Security moved very quickly up until they were basically pulling 80% of bags for a secondary viewing with only one...

    Was in the city briefly and snapped some pics of this one. Hopefully a new diagram by the end of this week (after I sift through a week's worth of emails...)

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

    It's not uncommon to use temporary seating for World Cup venues these days, and despite them often looking like the sightlines are terrible...they generally are ok. Here's some examples from Russia 2018 and Brazil 2014. I personally sat near the top of the temporary seating in Sao Paulo and it...

    Toronto Ace Hotel Toronto | 44.8m | 13s | Carbon Hospitality | Shim-Sutcliffe

    That would explain why I couldn't book there for our July trip! Calendar looks blocked off through to October but that may open up once they have an actual date to open...

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

    Bit more of a bunker than a house right now...can see some of the massing take shape but the dark cladding on this massive podium is a little disconcerting.

    Toronto Toronto House | 186.53m | 58s | Westbank | Hariri Pontarini

    I had made a really sweet diagram for this one a few years ago when it started but sadly deleted the file somehow...managed to recover a screen shot I took so this will have to suffice for now...

    Toronto Bloor & Dufferin | 122.35m | 37s | Hazelview | Turner Fleischer

    Has some good angles but also some really, really not good angles.

    Toronto Artists' Alley | 121.91m | 39s | Lanterra | Hariri Pontarini

    No more dangerous than owning a phone or a microwave or living in a city already covered in bouncing frequencies. They may need to move them as they'll be somewhat limited with a building in the way now though...

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

    Certainly makes my job easier too. Get ready for "find the portaloo"!
