    Toronto OCAD U: 100 McCaul | 39.4m | 9s | OCADU | Morphosis

    I remember trying to drum up interest in that when I was there with some classmates. Pretty much no interest as a whole as everyone was either a) not into sports in the least b) went back to Etobicoke/Mississauga after classes. The lack of area to play anything was pretty tough too. I imagine...

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    That's the final steel for the last floor of the shorter of the two "towers". It's relatively insignificant considering the south tower also has a crown and the northern tower is taller still.

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Yep, that steel puts us a couple of metres shy of the lower "towers" top. The top of the southern steel will be the top-most floor for that tower too from the looks of the plan.

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

    Interested to see a) how the light plays off that (could get some cool sunset reflections) b) if there will be any snow/ice buildup (though one would hope they've thought of that).

    Two spots from the look of it!

    Toronto 100 Queens Quay at Sugar Wharf | 117.34m | 25s | Menkes | B+H

    FWIW the majority of this building is going to be a dark, almost black glass curtainwall, so we may actually appreciate the division between podium and tower when it's all said and done.

    Toronto Ontario Court of Justice Toronto | 95.7m | 17s | Infrastructure ON | Renzo Piano

    A lot of worse options than what is going up now at least.

    Developers confirmed Sergei Gonchar fans over Wayne Gretzky. Source

    Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Renders seem to imply it will be a more silver/blue than this part of the tower. That said, there's renders that showed the glass we see up now as more grey/black and what we got is much greener - so think we'll just have to wait and see.

    Toronto The Saint | 151m | 47s | Minto Group | Wallman Architects

    The wood panels are a nice touch, always appreciate a little warmth added. The kinks between the podium and tower are nice however will come down to whether or not they actually use curtain wall (not holding my breath). The heritage portion has a real chance to be a stunner!

    Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Yeah it really does come down to lighting I think. If you look on the Database the larger render (first one) is definitely a greenish tint. The second photo however is completely grey. This is pretty small part of the tower, the real potential show stopper will be the tower itself.

    Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Yeah it's...strikingly more green than the renders suggested. Still good quality though and it's somewhat out of context with just a few panes at this point.

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

    That's my biggest takeaway. The density is happening in this area no matter what but it's the streetlevel that is just terrible across the board at this point. The colours would have really added something to the area but instead they're tucked away leaving us another glasswalled lobby that is...

    It also only takes two seconds to look at when a member joined/how many messages they've sent. Some people don't understand the extent of forum rules and instead of passive-aggressively adding an angry emoji (which also just kinda comes off as uninviting to new members) we can inform them how...

    Salesforce isn't sinking, it's Millennium Tower next door. And I think that's been sorted out now too.

    I'd prefer something now quite as large as the full building light shows haha

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

    Might as well eh? Would love for some more expressive lighting in the city - Salesforce Tower in SF, for example, has done a great job of that I think.

    That box on the spire will inevitably be a logo which is kinda a bummer. I suppose it will be illuminated though which could be cool.

    Welcome to the forum! Apologies for the angry faced response... Project isn't cancelled, there was a stop work order issued a little while ago which requires (from my understanding) a review that the site is back up to safety requirements before proceeding. I can't recall seeing something...
