I remember this old article: https://nationalpost.com/posted-toronto/manager-not-sold-on-path-to-torontos-trump-hotel They should finally open up the walled off PATH connection. IMO, an important distinguishing feature of this building is its proximity to the financial district, both for the...

Thanks for the video! I love Union Station in action. The finished parts are looking great, but it still seems like they have a lot of work to do. Will they make the most recent revised completion date?

I wasn't really requesting a Union Station construction tour video, although that is a very good idea. IMO, at the least, there are times when even a short video clip might serve a poster's purpose better than a verbal description and/or a few pictures. It would probably make it easier to see...

I'm mostly an observer here as I'm not around Union much any more these days. I was wondering if anyone has thought of using YouTube in their posts, because I haven't seen anyone use it here and this would be a good thread for that. Uploading videos to YT shouldn't be any more difficult than...

It's September 2017 now. I was just there yesterday and most of the vendors are still there. Some vendors have moved out though. Many of the food court vendors are gone, but most of the other vendors are still there. The two grocery stores are still in operation. Curry's art supply store outside...

There is the P.C. Ho Theatre at the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto. It only seats 626 but it's beautiful. Built in 2006.

I did write "...many years ago," didn't I? That's even before your brother went to Milne Valley. The school most definitely was Milneford J.H.S. when it was built and stayed a J.H.S. until (I don't remember the exact year) sometime early to mid-80's. You interpreted right; replacing Grade 13...

I don't know what the arrangement is with Crestwood. I'm guessing that they're leasing the property, rather than owning, in which case they can't be evicted at will. Perhaps, the TDSB may be waiting until their lease runs out. Again, I'm speculating. I wouldn't worry too much about Crestwood...

Okay. I haven't been "fishing" for answers for my replies. First of all, online debates can easily be time-consuming, so if the topic is "left turns in and out of MEC store/Broccolini townhouses", such a debate may not be high on my priority list of things to do. You seem to miss my point about...

Let me speculate a bit. The retail structure they're putting up at the northwest corner of the site is part of the original proposal, but the the renovation of the rest, I believe, is just a deferral of building the condos which, I'm guessing, will/may be built at a future date. Let me explain...

I guess it's about time I replied to: I happened to have gone past this place a couple of times since then. I noticed that the mini-plazas (or is it one plaza?) to the left and right with the future MEC store and townhouses in the middle are bookmarked with traffic lights. Would this not allow...

Those successful office complexes that you cite are, for the most part, still relatively low density areas and not all that unlike North York Centre. What they all have in common is access to highways. In the case of North York Centre and Sheppard, congestion and lack of free capacity on the...

I am familiar with an older version of this list. This traffic congestion along Sheppard is just that...traffic congestion, but not caused by design flaws with the roads. Rather, the problem is simply the volume of East-West traffic across the top part of the city. Congestion along Sheppard may...

Point taken about the left turns. There is a difference between the future MEC store (and Park Towns) and Sporting Life. Sporting Life's problem is not easily fixable because of its parking shortage. In the case of MEC, as with any development, the city's transportation department (I forget...

Paramount Fine Foods says on their website that they are 'Coming Soon' to Union Station. Sorry, no details were given. Maybe this will become Nazem Kadri's 'go to' place.

I don't see this happening here. The parking lot at Sporting Life is undersized for its store. So, cars waiting for a parking spot spill out onto the street. WIth MEC, there will be plenty of underground parking. While there may be heavy traffic at times on Sheppard, this would be largely...

There are three components of this site: 1) the Ismaili Centre, which is not just a religious entity, but also a community centre available to the community at large; 2) the Aga Khan Museum, which is a cultural institution in the same way as the AGO and ROM, both of which, by the way, receive...

Guu has a very nice well-designed patio. I especially like the glass canopy and the consideration for lighting, from the wall mounted lights to the lights at the bottom of the doors. Being shielded by buildings all-around, I wonder if the patio would ever be exposed directly to intense sunlight...

I passed by the site on Saturday (Jan. 10) during the day. From my brief glimpse, as far as I could tell, all of the building structures and asphalt had been cleared from front to back and there was heavy equipment on site. My take is that construction has not been delayed, but rather the...

I'm a bit surprised that nobody had posted this yet, considering how well this thread is kept abreast of news about the Aga Khan Museum and Ismaili Centre. On Friday, Jan. 9, Breakfast TV paid a visit to the Museum. I've been lurking for some time now at UT so it's about time I registered and at...
