Very well done. Echoing what has already been mentioned, the restoration is excellent and the addition is respectful and of high quality.

Same cladding as the backside of Fashion House.

In my view, this one holds the potential to be the best of the bunch there.

What's so wrong with Bridgey McBridgeface?

Keeping the heritage is fine, it's the jumbled addition up top that's the problem. It's a bit everything adding up to not much of anything interesting.

The OMB changed the neighbourhood. The city has been trying to deal with that ever since - and often without success.

The Well is a separate zoning amendment and a proposal that includes considerable public amenities. Plus, it treats the heights of the building in a way that respects the historical importance of Wellington Street in that area. This proposal references the nearby Brad Lamb building as the two...

The local neighbourhood association is hardly a pack of NIMBY's by any stretch. It's probably one of the most well-informed and astute groups around. Many of them have worked with developers in the area to bring positive results to a rapidly growing and changing part of the city. Many of them...

Actually, Clarence Square as it is now is the "product" of a process that included a number of public consultations and the engagement of a consultant. Pavers were added, but also the walking and biking path, removal of fencing, replanting of trees to replace non-native species, the addition of...

It kind of compliments the CAMH building across the street - but not in a good way.

Well, the developer usually submits a traffic plan that can be summed up as "everything will be okay."

I walked by the site today. There appeared to be a number of dents and scratches on the poles. Hopefully they will be addressed before final installation.

Who wants a second level? It'd be a perfect place for those inclined to grab a chair and take a snooze inside a Timmy's - particularly the 24-hour stores.

Go to virtually any new suburban subdivision in North America and you will see pretty much the same housing. In fact, there are many suburbs in Canada that are virtually interchangeable. In some instances, you really couldn't tell if you were in the new suburbs of Montreal, Ottawa or Toronto if...

Actually, there is a board of directors for the condominium - even though it has not been turned over to the owners. You's best call the management company to find out more about doing such renovations.
