If that's officially true that's unfortunate. I assumed Jarvis would become Ted Rogers Way in the same way that College Street became Johnny Lombardi way around the CHIN building and Queen Street became Moses Znaimer way around the Chum building. By that I mean that the individual gets the...

Somehow this place is 80% sold. No idea how that happened. http://www.nationalpost.com/homes/story.html?id=2299888

It's a bit out of left field, but I'm all for anything that sort of downplays the Gardiner, or our link to the past as I like to call it. But something like this seems like it would be incredibly expensive. If we're going to spend the money anyway, why not just tear it down and build a normal...

I disagree. I think this area is totally desirable, especially for new buyers. Sure this is no Rosedale or Forest Hill, but there definitely is value here. If one were to buy in Giraffe, they'd be saving a lot of money when you compare the price of a home in the area or any of the other condos...

I doubt TAS will walk away. They've sank too much time and money into this project. Not to mention the revisions they made to it. I think they're just waiting for the final OMB ruling (which I believe is December 3rd) before they have one last sales push and then start construction. This is...

Colour has a lot to do with practicality. How well is a pink and black kitchen going to look when you try to sell the condo a few years down the road? How easy is it going to be to buy accessories for a pink and black kitchen? How quickly is it going to go out of style? How quickly will you...

I really don't understand this widspread criticism of the ROM's crystal. When I first heard about it back in the day I assumed there would be a few detractors but of course there always is. I had no idea that so many people seem to despise it. It makes the ROM 5x better in my opinion. Anyone...

I am in no way schooled in the sciences of physics, meteorology, wind currents or the like. While I do agree that Mcdonalds and other fast food chains to have a certain odour to them when you walk by, even drive by in some areas at certain times, I'm not entirely sure that this is going to...

Although I'm totally in favour of having an NFL team in Toronto, this isn't the way to go about it. NFL, and NBA and MLB players for that matter, seem to have some sort of problem playing in Canada. That makes it more difficult to attract talent to the Jays and Raptors, and in the end the team...

urbandreamer, sure that pink and black kitchen looks great in that professional photograph, but can most people live with it every day? probably not. while brown may not be for everyone, it works for most people. is the toyota camry an exciting car? absolutely not, but it works for most...

Regarding public transit in the area, improvements will allegedly be made. If I'm not mistaken the proposed waterfront west harbourfron LRT will essentially run right by the majority of the condo towers in the humber bay, park lawn & lakeshore area.

Wow did I read that right? They're going to move a heritage structure twice? Hopefully that idea works out.

I absolutely adore this building. Always have, always will. I remember watching it grow day by day from the library window in St. Mike's college a few years back, all the while knowing that there was a pretty good chance I'll never make enough money to be able to live in it. To me, this is the...

A fair point, but I already bought somewhere else and when I did go to look at the Freed projects (not this one in particular) I found them to be very much out of my price range.

While I do understand your point, it's land that isn't really doing much so let's put it to work, I just think that any surface parking lot is simply out of date. Although both are eyesores I think I'd rather have the tracks there instead of a parking lot, even if it were a "temporary" lot. A...

Wow look at that promotion. $100,000 gift certificate to Holt Renfrew, I wouldn't mind that. I'd still rather have the promotion the Ritz was offering a while back. Unrelated; I didn't know a different Canadian designer was involed in every floor of Fashion House. I genuinely support that.

Sorry I'm going to have to disagree with that. The vast majority of people on this site, and probably within Toronto for that matter literally stand up and cheer whenever an existing surface parking lot becomes a condo, office tower, or anything other than a parking lot for that matter and...

I don't really understand what you're getting at. Nowhere in my posts did I mention any of those media outlets. The fact that I've been to the restaurants I mentioned and enjoyed myself very much (taking price, quality and atmosphere into account) is what makes them quality restaurants in my...

Ridiculous. NYC, Paris ok fine. Never been to Tokyo or Hong Kong so I cannot really comment. But Toronto blows L.A. out of the water and just nips San Fran in my opinion. My favourite part of San Fran's cuisine was their excellent wine lists (I'm a big fan of Californian Cabernet Sauvignon)...
