This one turned out quite well. The same can't be said for its neighbour to the east.

Interesting. Just by the elevators. Yeah, the lobby is... minimalist.

Those were mature trees.

The short answer to your question is that there is nothing to stop them.

I think it was one of the esteemed leaders of UT who commented on the massing along King Street. This could be a very interesting proposal, but right now there might be a little too much of it. And too bad that the heritage component will likely be just facades.

This sucker is chunky. In contrast, Evangel Hall across the street is graceful and demure.

From what I've heard, the developer still owns the rooftop. There is supposed to be a large restaurant or lounge venue up there. It'll be interesting to see how that works out for the residents.

Didn't the builder apply for LEED certification at some level? Does anyone know if it was granted? Also, the hallways on each floor were supposed to receive a designer finish of some kind. Did that ever happen?

I'd prefer to see it left as Under the Gardiner, but if there must be a new name, how about "Gardiner Underarm"? No worse than any reference Rob Ford in my opinion.

Just found out that Queen Video location on Queen Street is closing its doors for good this weekend. The place has been around since 1981 and featured a huge and eclectic selection of films - including a lot of stuff that's hard to find online. The last Queen Video location on Bloor remains - at...

Good to see the abandoned structures go. Vandalism was on the increase and a few people around here were concerned about arson.

This thing is going to hulk over Draper Street. The neighbouring developers of the Well appear to taken a sensitive approach when considering the last patch of historic worker cottages, but this proposal seems to one where the maximum everything is going to be shoved onto the lot.
