    Rushton, The (743 St Clair Av W, Goldman / Lash, 9s)

    Whoaaa look at all that traffic gridlock in that last photo. St. Clair has 3 new developments, 2 under construction, within walking distance of each other (Rushton, Rise, 500/530 St. Clair) Who wants to go anywhere near a booming neighbourhood with rapidly increasing land values, plus a good...

    Toronto 87 Peter | 156.05m | 49s | Menkes | Core Architects

    Remember the entertainment district?.....Me neither. Hopefully it is half decent looking. Black glass would be pretty striking, especially with the white (now greenish off-white) Hyatt Regency hotel very close by. I guess this area will be quite high rise in the near future with this one plus...

    2 Ossington (@ Queen, NDS Properties, 4s, SMV Architects)

    What a joke. A total waste of a pretty important corner and what looked like a pretty nice building that was needlessly torn down.

    Toronto Parc - Loft Residences on King West | ?m | 10s | Lamb Dev Corp | a—A

    Agree. Love this building, excellent design and fits the neighbourhood well. Wish I had bought in it but just couldn't afford it. Great east views. I live across the street and I'm hoping this building will keep our values moving higher over the years.

    Toronto Charlie Condos | 122.83m | 36s | Great Gulf | Diamond Schmitt

    Heard from someone close to the company that a Noah's Natural Foods will be occupying at least part of Charlie's retail component. That might break up the monotony of Starbucks-Club-Pizza Place-Starbucks-Club-Pizza Place that King West has become.

    Toronto Picasso Condos | 128.62m | 39s | Mattamy Homes | Teeple Architects

    In my opinion Teeple is one of the best firms around. Just browsing through their website will show you why. Many of their buildings have been featured in design/architecture books and magazines about Toronto that I've read in the past. It's a shame that this one and Giraffe condos didn't get...

    Toronto INDX Condos | 178.6m | 54s | Lifetime | P + S / IBI

    I agree, Toronto should have had its first W hotel 5 years ago. I've always found it strange that Toronto doesn't have one. It's not like Starwood is a stranger to this city, nor are they in any way concentrated in one area like some other hotel chains tend to be. I guess they took notice of the...

    Toronto Empire Midtown | ?m | 16s | Empire | Richmond Architects

    I agree with tolling the Allen, most expressways really. But they will never make the northbound allen accessable from the east side only. The residents and businesses would be up in arms and you'd never hear the end of it. It's unfortunately like night and day on Eglinton when you compare the...

    Toronto Ocean Club | 131.36m | 39s | Beaverhall | P + S / IBI

    This boring, tired style of architecture in this overdone location will almost certainly be sh#t. The good news is, with nothing distinguishing it from what's already there, nobody will notice it. I understand that the developments around this neighbourhood (if you want to call it that) are...

    Toronto Tableau Condominiums | 124.05m | 36s | Urban Capital | Wallman Architects

    I know I'm late to the discussion, but is that the current structure under there? Where I believe Embassy nightclub is currently located? If so I think this is a respectable looking development. What about the pizzaville building? Will that be demolished? Or was it carefully left out of the...

    News on retail chains (was: New Mall Retail)

    Scotch & Soda is opening soon in Sherway. Fantastic stuff there usually. To the person who wants Sherway to look like every other mall with Victoria's Secret, H&M, etc. I say no. Thats what makes Sherway what it is. I've also never seen an Urban Outfitters in a mall in any city or mall I've...

    Duke's Cycle (623-625 Queen St. W, Form, 3s)

    I've never really heard of this firm, but a quick browse through the "portfolio" on their website shows nothing but mcmansions strewn with pre-cast, stucco and faux brick nonsense. So based on that evidence, I guess I am not surprised. Hey Form, go **** yourselves.

    Toronto Yorkdale Shopping Centre | ?m | ?s | Oxford Properties | MMC Architecture

    I disagree. The mall has its own subway station. You can't fault it for not having perfect east-west transit connections too. The Wilson bus is just a stone's throw north of Yorkdale, one could easily switch to the Dufferin bus and wait the 4 stops or so it takes to arrive at the mall, or go...

    Toronto Fashion House | ?m | 12s | Freed | Core Architects

    The strip club is actually very quiet for the most part. You could literally blink and miss it, no real disturbances coming out of it either. It's Century Room that will cause most of the headaches for Fashion House buyers, since the development is literally being constructed right up against...

    Toronto 906 Yonge Street | 139.17m | 40s | Gupta | Arcadis

    Seems good. Retains the historic buildings and adds density at an acceptable height for the neighbourhood.

    Toronto CHAZ | 150.87m | 47s | 45 Charles Ltd | P + S / IBI

    Totally agree. I'd take something at M5V, Charlie, Victory or most of the Freed projects over Casa, Chaz, Bloor Street Neighbourhood and 1 Bloor (even though that's a different animal altogether) anyday. I am simply speaking in terms of price and location, no offence to these developments in...

    Toronto CHAZ | 150.87m | 47s | 45 Charles Ltd | P + S / IBI

    I would never consider this project. Prices are far too high, 757 sq ft. starting at a half million is far too much in my eyes, parking at $45,000 is among the highest I've ever seen as well. While I do like the area, I really cannot see this being a quick seller. With better projects nearby...

    Toronto in decline..... (Back in MY day we had respect!)

    This thread is absolutely ridiculous. Trump, Ritz-Carlton, Shangri-la, Four Seasons. Four of the world's largest and most famous 5 star hotels are currently under construction here. Toronto FC is the most successful franchise in the MLS by FAR, and they brought with them a new stadium and...
