    Toronto Finch LRT: Humber College Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arup

    I should also point out that Humber College's facilities page mentions that the station will be complete by "Sunday, December 31, 2023," which seems awfully specific. Based upon appearances, I think the building could be complete by then (at least the exterior and paving, etc), but I doubt...

    Toronto Finch LRT: Humber College Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arup

    I posted these in the Finch West LRT thread. From the 16th:

    Toronto The Pemberton | 215.79m | 68s | Pemberton | a—A

    If you compare the photos from today and last week, there's more rebar in the pit. But yes, they do appear to be moving at a glacial pace.

    Toronto 88 Bathurst | 68.3m | 17s | Hines | 3XN

    From King, this building is helping fill in one of the gaps in the street here - Bathurst is definitely got a "big city" presence now south of King. Let's hope the city-sizing continues up Bathurst, particularly in the stretch north of Queen. Some members get embarrassed about the spandrel in...

    Toronto IMMIX | 131.06m | 38s | QuadReal | a—A

    The artwork is cool! Micah and Derek did a great job.

    Toronto Toronto House | 186.53m | 58s | Allied | Hariri Pontarini

    I'm not a fan of balconies on most buildings, but in this case, I'm like - sure, why not? They could be considered an architectural folly.

    Toronto Love Park | 3m | 1s | City of Toronto

    I honestly didn't mind it! Sometimes natural water is green. It doesn't need to look like a swimming pool.

    Toronto Love Park | 3m | 1s | City of Toronto

    Taken today, Oct. 14. And my 1,000th post! Enjoying a break in Love Park.

    Toronto 55 Mercer | 155.5m | 47s | CentreCourt | Arcadis

    Oh, for some reason, I was thinking the part on Blue Jays Way was heritage - but you are correct, they are both new! Yes, the work on these podium buildings is impressive!

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Looking forward to One Yonge being visible from the Harbour Street pedestrian bridge:

    I saw Emergence up close today, and it’s pretty cool! Almost everyone passing by stopped to take a look - even the security guards. Great details - think there’s a whole chess set of pieces visible, but didn’t confirm. Kids will love it. And lol - the sign is just a piece of cardboard that is...

    Toronto 55 Mercer | 155.5m | 47s | CentreCourt | Arcadis

    Taken today, Oct. 14 A very handsome building - the new podium portion fits well with the heritage without attempting to mimic of duplicate it.

    Toronto Nobu Residences Toronto | 156.66m | 45s | Madison Group | Teeple Architects

    Taken today, October 14. I gotta say, the ground floor is a jumble, but this street has an incredible scale in person. It’s very Manhattan-esque. It will be very exciting when the buildings are finished.

    It's also an uncanny human figure - distorted human figures are what nightmares are made of. I like public art that aims to tell a story and invites viewings from different angles. What I've seen so far is intriguing - I'll have to check it out in person!

    Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Yeah, it was not a criticism from me! I was just surprised that no one was talking about it even though it was clearly bananas. I'm more in favour of odd-looking art generating feelings in passerby than of some broken abstract shape symbolizing nothing.
