Yup, merged.

Yeah but have you seen how green and full their grass is?

Indeed, I've been quick to pull out the "Tres-Dull" before, but this project looks anything but. Wonderful shiny happy glossy renderings. I like.

I realize how far behind the list is at this point. When all those new proposals came out I was simultaneously elated, and horrified thinking how much needed to be updated on the list. Rest assured I have every intention of continuing the list and updating it, realistically I would expect...

How is Shangri-La oversized?

Fantastic shots everyone. Really beautiful photos all 'round.

BTW: I created a new thread for architecture comparisons between cities: please post any further thoughts on that topic there: http://www.urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?t=9044

A frequent argument put forward by those who dismiss Toronto architecture is that our recent built form lacks when we look at comparable cities. Frankly I'm not sure where this idea comes from. Looking at Chicago for instance, they are building some fantastic skyscrapers/midrises in the...

I find it impossible to believe every new building in Sydney, Vienna, San Fran or Munich is that much greater than our own. Recently built ugly/bland architecture is hardly a Toronto phenomena. One area Toronto is behind comparable cities is how our streets look. Messy Urbanism may be our...

Standing at the north-east corner of the Rogers-Dome/Sky-Centre and looking north along John street, the AGO makes a great impression. It's a view thousands will have before and after every event if they tilt their heads up just a bit.

I'll be there. Hope to see some of the regulars and some fresh faces.

If it's taller than 400' you don't need to go searching for it. It's listed in, and linked to, from the '400 Foot List'. Admittedly if you don't know the project's official name or address, it becomes a bit harder to locate it in the list.

Normal projects take time to develop - especially office towers. I think we in Toronto are too spoiled expecting the timeline for all towers to progress as such: Jan - Hear rumours of a new tower Feb - See official documentation on it Mar - Teaser Ads Apr - Starts selling Jul -...

Do you mean Infinity Phase II?

It was spam, they're gone.

It's the type of infill development that we should expect to see more and more of. If Toronto is going to fit another million people in its boundaries over the next few decades, we're gonna need to have a lot of similar buildings on avenues and major roads.

I provide a breakdown of projects with multiple towers over 400 feet on the "400 foot list": Signature Tower [CityPlace] - 714 ft. 69 floors Harbour View Estates II [CityPlace] - 503 ft. 49 floors West ONE [CityPlace] - 476 ft. 49 floors Montage [CityPlace] - 449 ft. 47 floors N1...

I believe the rumors started with valentino at Skyscrapercity: "I've heard Busby's dildo is out for something a little more "Kosmo" Erickson who lately has been inspired by Fusili pasta" http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=475565&page=6

Yes. For any height related questions about tall Toronto buildings refer here: http://www.urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?t=8129

That's the height of insanity.
