Density is not the problem per se its increased density without proper infrastructure support - not just subways and transit which is a major problem already but, other services - water/sewage systems, electrical grids, hospitals, ambulances, fire, police, schools, and proper planning for green...

Let's just hope the balcony glass stays put and doesn't fall and break (like whats happened at other new condo towers with glass balconies).

While I want our buildings and city to be aesthetic pleasing and interesting, I also think it has to be balanced with other concerns. I don't want birds needlessly dying - they're important to our ecosystem and "light pollution" isn't only about not seeing the stars at night - its wastefuly of...

this is to be expected = developers don't want the financial risk of small independent businesses which add to the vibrancy of street life - hence the Starbucks/banks/Shoppers Drugmarts, etc. They want big chain well established businesses as tenants. I think its dissappoint and all of this...

The McDonalds on Bloor street has closed to make way for Exhibit Condos. Here is the link to the Star Article.http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/crime/article/1316118--growing-up-mcdonald-s-closes-to-make-way-for-you-got-it-more-condos

On the lower level of the Manulife Centre a new luxury ogranic soap store has opened (forget the name - never heard of it) - where the old smelly cheese place (forget the name too) and the Belguim chocolate place used to be. Will be interesting to see how long it lasts. Miss the smelly cheese...

I"m all for a mix of midrange and highend stores on Bloor too - agree will keep the street vibrant, with smaller independent boutiques in Yorkville. Hopefully the retail element of Bloor 1 will be well done because that could really add much needed space and contribute to the vibrancy of Bloor...

MOre predecitions from todays Star: Toronto housing prices to flatline in 2013: report By Susan Pigg Business Reporter Toronto house prices are expected to flatline rather than fall in 2013 — with gains averaging just one per cent — with the “cyclical correction” that has taken hold since...

I like the renovations they've done to the centre court in Hazelton but for a mall in an upscale location i think they could do more (the bathrooms are never that clean). I am puzzled why it doesn't do better given its location. i think its viability is really at risk given the proposed...

Potentially to the public - citizens of Toronto and the Condo Owners. A lot more needs to be clarified as to how this is going to work. As someone as pointed out in earlier post these seems potentially a very complex arrangement and I really wonder how many condo buyers would fully appreciate...

i wonder if a developer is buying the block up for development for another condo tower. Anyone hear anything?

Does anyone know how about "good" or extensive Mirvishes' art collection really is? I thought from the initial press that he would be donating his art and that it would be a gallery he would run or some foundation of his and that condo owners would have free access too as well as the public...

get a referral from you family doctor and be careful - there are a lot of quacks out there.

Hopefully there will be expansion. I would thought if things had been planned right, westward expansion across from the ROM to Prince Arthur could have made alot of sense but the with the current development there doesn't seem to have the space attractive to highend retail. Maybe once 1 Bloor...

I think these comments are really sexist and are offensive. How do you know that women are not posting on this forum or other forums? (Oh sorry - I forgot women are too busy shopping - what a condescending comment.) How can such generalizations be made that women don't like tall buildings and...
