From my friend's balcony the other day. Man oh man am I jealous of his view.

20 storeys now (source).

Steel framing for mechanical levels going in, and more details revealed on the restored Concourse Building

One of Toronto’s most notable properties, the Rosedale residence known as Integral House, will be coming to the real estate market next week. The asking price will be $28-million, according to Sotheby’s International Realty Canada agent Paul Maranger...

I live nearby, and only see a handful of units with lights on at night. 4 or 5 condos here are currently for sale on MLS. I toured one of the "ground floor" (optimistic interpretation of a basement) 2-bedroom condos with my parents last year. It was supposedly 3000 sq/ft and it seemed the...

Yassssssss Symmetry! Bronte deserves design of this caliber, but please bring some of this hot stuff downtown Oakville to help counterbalance the overwhelming amount of schlocky new builds that have proliferated there in recent years.

I hate to be a negative nancy, but I will eat my shoe a la Werner Herzog if this development looks anything close to these renderings once complete. Aren't Pinnacle notorious for over-promising? Agreed though, the renderings are incredibly sexy.

Took a little staycation and got a room with a sweet view.

S37 funds never go out-of-ward, but they are commonly used by Councillors to pay for in-ward community benefits that have no reasonable planning connection whatsoever to their originating development project. I did my Master's thesis on Section 37 in Toronto and the biggest problem I found...

Absolutely vile. How do these fools get away with it!? I bike by this building everyday, it is the worst, cheapest kind of schlock imaginable.

The City got a $10M Section 37 contribution from Menkes' development (1 York/90 Harbour) to go towards demolition of off-ramp. This should be enough of a kickstarter for the City to budget for the remainder of the demolition cost. When will it happen? God knows.

As nice as it is to see such a prominent corner as this go up for redevelopment, one wonders what will happen to those living in the rooming house (same with the Broadview Hotel, and the Waverly). While they're often pretty dodgy places, rooming houses provide housing for highly vulnerable and...

Well this is depressing, but I can't say I'm surprised. I wish Mirvish would just bypass the City altogether and fight for the original proposal at the Board.
