    Toronto Garrison Point | 118.56m | 35s | Cityzen | Hariri Pontarini

    Ya that's kinda whacky eh? Dig it.

    Toronto Ten York Street Condos | 224.02m | 65s | Tridel | Wallman Architects

    I presume once mass-production of the cladding ends, it can be a real pain to order individual pieces.

    Toronto Massey Tower Condos | 206.95m | 60s | MOD Developments | Hariri Pontarini

    Bout time they got to that podium!

    Throw my hat in for October 31st. Spooky!

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

    Probably not going to do any more of these till we reach grade...

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

    If this were in London it would get a fun little nickname like that. Also...good gravy look at that glass!

    Toronto The Quay, Tower Three (was Maple Leaf Quay) | 66.44m | 21s | Pacific Reach | BDP Quadrangle

    Those are some really beautiful render styles. Which we could see more in this style (less lens flare, overexposure and omission of neighboring structures).

    Toronto The United BLDG | 184.85m | 54s | Davpart | B+H

    Given there's no PATH connections within 2-3 blocks of St. Patrick I'd say odds are about 0. At most I could see it maybe connecting to the Hospital network to the north but I haven't read any plans of that...

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

    Who knew we'd go from the one tower to a "four" (two) tower build with a raildeck park and a world renowned architect to boot!

    Toronto Phoenix | 92.96m | 29s | Empire | Graziani + Corazza

    Empire has done well with Eau de Soleil but I see G+C and immediate start to worry (despite the renders looking okay-ish in this case).

    That's generally how shadows work. ?

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

    I actually kind of like that it's much shorter than everything else. Frames the whole arena rather nicely (especially once the second phase of CIBC Square is build, Union Park, etc.).

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

    From the looks on the Project Core instagram they're also doing a lot of structural work on the inside, so that adds up.

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

    Gehry is considered, amongst many, one of the better architects of the 21st century. His designs are polarizing for being whimsical and slightly against the norm from how many would normally envision a "building". His AGO renovation in Toronto, not far from his home neighbourhood of Kensington...

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

    The building in the photo above is staying, hence the extensive renovations. Since the building was changed from 3 to 2 buildings the only properties being demolished are on either side of Ed Mirvish Way which are two buildings that normally would have been a shame to lose if not for the fact...

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

    My pleasure! Will be doing one for The One and perhaps on some other marquee projects (just depends on finding a consistent set of photos from a similar angle).

    Toronto Smart House | 82.6m | 25s | Urban Capital | a—A

    Picasso and Smart House playing off each other fantastically in that photo!

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

    8 more floors of core with two upcoming set backs. Suspect the core jumps will slow down around that point but the steel and glass are cruising.

    Toronto Form Condos | 50.59m | 14s | Tridel | a—A

    That sharp angle with all the fins is quite striking. Somewhat makes up for the wall of spandrel head on.

    Toronto eCondos | 195.67m | 58s | Bazis | Rosario Varacalli

    It's nice to have another architecture firm in the city really taking design seriously too.
