Thank you, thank you very much! I'm here all week, folks. Covid happened to that... I wonder if convention and trade show business has entirely bounced back yet, or if it's still lagging somewhat (probably), and to what degree? 42

This one will depending entirely upon how well the banding obscures that dreary window wall behind it, and the no-frills concrete on the sides (that interrupted third floor pour of the east wall? yeesh!!!). This might end up looking fine at night if not in the day with a well chosen banding (I...

There was talk of expanding it as part of the Convention Centre expansion, last time they were talking about that several years ago now: one of the Convention Centre expansion concepts was to bridge over rail corridor, and continue over and connect up with Ripley's Aquarium, which would have...

So, 10 years after the major overhaul was going to be needed owing to apocryphal stories of the building being too heavy I suppose… the big news is that the Convention Center IS STILL NOT SINKING! One more tidbit to add to my earlier cynicism regarding that report, I've since learned that in...

Yup, Etobicoke-York Community Council along with all department offices in the current Burnhamthorpe and 427 site will move to the new site, and then that site will be sold off. 42

So that, it turns out, is a CDK 100-16 Luffing Jib Derrick built by Terex Corporation of Connecticut... but also still considered a tower crane, so we will leave this is as having a crane while it's there for the next few months. 42

Front page story here, where we mention that there is one elevator for every 179 suites in this 536-suite proposal. If one elevator is move-in service, that's one elevator for every 268 suites. If some overgrown kid at the same time plays with the buttons, that's one elevator for every 536...

Those photos were not by Jack, they were courtesy of Waterfront Toronto, as per the credit in the article. 42

We've got a front page story up now too, where we asked them about PATH improvements... …and it seems that they're still finding it difficult to make a magnanimous gesture towards PATH users. Meanwhile, we have now added a database file, linked at the top of this page, where you'll find the...

Source please! 42

The problem apparently is the awkward internal layout that restauranteurs have found unworkable. That, though, provides no excuse to the wine club for the terrible ground level treatment. 42

The five bridge designs, if anyone wants quick reference to them again, can be found on page 319 of the thread. 42

Waterloo asking us to hold their beer again. 42

Sorry, I know I'm really slow in answering this, but… This building has been planned for a long time now, but has gone nowhere, and those parking numbers still reflect a time when the City had parking minimums all across the city, no matter where the building was located. I assume that when a...

There's a thread in our Real Estate section for owners at this site, now linked in the Database File Box at the top of these thread pages. If you cannot find an old post of yours, a number of posts were moved to it, so look for the posts there! 42

It's not anchored to a concrete base... but it has been removed from whatever brought it there, so it's as immobile and "permanent" as any other crane used to put up a building! We will count it. 42

Anyone been by here recently? The Google Maps Street View and aerial imagery is all from 2021, so the crane is still there. I'm not sure what year the Apple Maps imagery is from, but the crane is there too. 42

Sign us up for the top three floors! (We each deserve 6,000 sq ft offices.) Source 42

Housekeeping note: now that Fitzrovia have rebranded all three of their towers under the single name Marlow (goodbye Belvoir, goodbye Quinton, we hardly knew ye), we have merged all three of those threads into one... ...so if you're shooting this site, it should now be a little easier. It...
