I love that section of Uptown Yonge -- I used to live on Erskine -- but I really think the solution is to force developers to build appropriately sized retail units at ground level. I have similar thoughts about the Danforth: I like it as it is but we can't leave main streets filled with...

Froggy, that first photo really shows a nice cross-section of buildings from different eras.

Exactly -- if you have frequent express trips from the 905, then all's well, but if express service is limited to a few rush hour runs, it's not going to be a viable alternative for the 905.

Assuming nothing else is moving out of Markville, I would assume so given they're renovating the space now.

"Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH is pleased to announce plans to open a new store at CF Markville in Markham, Ontario. The approximately 27,000 square foot store is scheduled to open in 2018."...

Markville is getting a "Mercedes me" store, which I believe is the second in Canada after Richmond BC. Here's what Richmond's looks like: https://twitter.com/MercedesBenzRMD/status/536603708906160130 Also, there are rumours of Uniqlo coming to Markville as well. This may be part of the old...

Demolition of the old Sears is well underway: https://www.instagram.com/p/BQ_whUYDG2T/

I always thought that 130 (the Oxford Tower) was like our mini Willis Tower. It's always been one of my favourites in the financial district. I'm not a fan of this reclad at all -- the only advantage will be that the three towers in the complex will have matching cladding.

Capital One recently leased 112,000 square feet at Brookfield Place.

This section of the parking lot is fenced off and equipment is on site, so it looks like they'll be starting soon.

I hope a similar approach is taken at all the other major grade separations that will be needed for the Stouffville line.

This is now being marketed as "Markham City Centre." http://www.idealdevelopments.com/projects/markham-city-centre/

Thanks, Dan! That's still a huge improvement.

It's nice to see the Stouffville Line finally getting another train in each direction. I know the track twinning is ongoing in support of all-day service, but these trains will really help passengers now, especially if the evening trip is after 20:00 (the buses at that hour are horrendously...

Times Group is looking to add 1,600 additional units through new floors that would now reach 32 stories:

And the sophisticated new restaurant opening in the remaining 2nd floor and the 2,000 SF rooftop patio is.... Boston Pizza. I noticed the "Coming Soon" sign today.

This is bad. Laval, Quebec bad.

I think it has functioned as a useful "old building" for the last several decades (providing worn office space at reasonable rents), but it's reaching a point where major renovation will be required just to stay functional and, presumably, the tax bills are starting to shoot up because of...

I admire mid-century architecture, but working at 2 Carlton has really made me appreciate the challenges to retaining this building. It would need a full reclad (many of the windows have duct tape around the edges that have been painted over), all new washrooms (everything is original on most...

I think part of this had to do with access to the existing parking deck since an expansion all the way to the corner of McCowan and Bullock would block the northern ramp. After this project is complete, I would hope any future expansions would extend the mall itself. It's also noteworthy that...
