Two more floors by my count.

Traynor, is your real name Seldon Cooper? Thanks for the explaination. I've mentioned this before, but all reflective surfaces appear different based on the colour temperature of daylight, which can vary as much as 7500 degrees Kevlin during the day. Can't understand why some people don't...

The mayor will probably suggest contracting out clock maintanace to a private sector company. I'm sure Timex would love to have their logo on those clockfaces. Though, that would be a shame!

Just what the world needs. Big Box mixed use!! I'd really like to see our planning department grow some and start saying no to such inefficent uses of space. What this area needs is mixed use with 20 x the density shown in those renderings. Retail at grade, commercial on the second floor with...

Beautiful pic. It is ashame that the density and height in the core drops so dramatically in and around city hall, not to pick up again until around College St. A fair gap, that screams to be filled.

If you look deep enough, you'll find that Health Canada and the FDA in the US are really working for Big pharma and the Monsantos of the world. Health Canada has more power to take away a citizen's rights than any other governement ministry. The current government has tried to pass various...

Thank you for mentioning one of the real causes of litter. TIM HORTONS!! Add to this all of the other fast food, packaged goods, consumer products and of course there will be more litter today, than there was in the 50's. I grew up in Toronto in the 60's and there was plenty of youth vandalism...

Are notices of code violations accompanied with a cash fine? If they are, then this "war on graffiti" is just one of the ways the city has to cover the losses from the VRT and "war on Cars". And it will end up being quite lucrative, because it is endless, unless of course they start arresting...

There are 100 buildings in Toronto taller than Winnipeg's tallest. No comparison.

Still has a few floors to go. My guess it will end up being as high as the top of the higher crane in that last picture.

What I'd give to have a sun roof in the car!

Can someone explain why Del Grande (the budget chief) didn't know about this request for more funds? You'd think he'd be in the loop. Or is this outside of his duties?

I have had four friends that were Ford supporters, call me recently and suggest that they may have been wrong in supporting him. Is the mythical "Ford Nation" beginning to dissolve? In my circle of friends, it is. His hypocrisy, stupidity and ego are going to bring him down really quickly. By...

Density in the core has reached the point were any building under 700' will add to the density, but go unnoticed in the built form. Even when SL is finished, it won't have much of an impact on the skyline. Aura and 1 Bloor on the other hand, will.

Ford the school yard bully! “I haven’t talked to [Premier Dalton McGuinty] face to face about that request of $150-million. And if he says ‘No,’ obviously there’s a provincial election coming up,†Mr. Ford told Newstalk1010. “I want to work with him, not against him. But obviously...

Based on the floor plans levels 33 - 53 share the same floor plate. If the penthouse is 4 floors, that would leave only 54 - 56. I can't image that 54 -56 will have a different floor plate (set back) than the floors below. From the looks of it, they have about 10 floors to go. If there is a...

Thanks for proving me wrong Caltrane74.

From what I understand the 4 World trade centre buildings alone are adding over 5 million square ft. Add to this, recently completed and under construction Sq. footage in NYC, and I don't think I am wrong big time. The attached screen grab shows 5 buildings under construction that are over...
