    Toronto 1 Yorkville | 183.18m | 58s | Bazis | Rosario Varacalli

    Those mullions are turning this from a homerun into a double.

    Toronto Smart House | 82.6m | 25s | Urban Capital | a—A

    It's amazing how just a little bit of colour enlivens what would be an otherwise dreary scene.

    Toronto Concord Park Place: Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Community Centre | 18.9m | 4s | City of Toronto | MJMA

    Of course they start right after I move out of the neighbourhood.

    Toronto Ten93 Queen West | 28.35m | 9s | Pemberton | RAW Design

    Hey artists and hipsters need pharmaceutical goods too.

    Toronto 1 Yorkville | 183.18m | 58s | Bazis | Rosario Varacalli

    Roll your eyes if you must, but it's a sentiment that every layperson walking around the city would share. I appreciate aA's attention to detail, but I can't count how many times I've heard a visitor to Toronto comment on how samey and bland our new buildings, and by extension the city as a...

    Toronto 250 University | 155.76m | 47s | Northam | Arcadis

    Only way I'd accept this building being touched is if they carried the exact same materials and design of the existing building all the way to the top, rather than just slapping up some glass tower.

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

    The design of this tower is so insipid it makes my soul hurt. The notion that this design actually sprang from a professional architect's head and then somehow managed to get approved by the developer makes me lose faith in the idea that there's actually any pride or taste in this city. I give...

    Toronto 250 Dundas West | 164.58m | 49s | Dream Office | IBI Group

    So looking at this project, the Grid, 411 Church, Halo and 55 Charles East, I guess P+S/IBI producing better looking designs than aA is a thing now. Might be some kind of Face/Off scenario going on.

    Toronto YC Condos -- Yonge at College | 198.42m | 62s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    For as poor as the details and the materials are, and as poor as the design is, at least they attempted some kind of identifiable gesture here. I give them credit for that.

    Toronto 55C: 55 Charles Condos | 167m | 50s | MOD Developments | a—A

    Wow this is aA? Such a random, aimless mish-mash. I'd have guessed P+S. Definitely a big disappointment considering MOD's previous projects.

    Toronto eCondos | 195.67m | 58s | Bazis | Rosario Varacalli

    With this and Exhibit, Bazis has redeemed themselves for Crystal Blu. 1 Yorkville is looking promising too.

    Toronto 1 Yorkville | 183.18m | 58s | Bazis | Rosario Varacalli

    ^^^ What's with the random spandrel glass in the 3rd photo? Doesn't seem necessary to obscure the column when it's perfectly visible below.

    Toronto The Selby | 165.5m | 50s | Tricon | bKL Architecture

    It's become evident that the choice of colour here is quite drab. It would have been nice if they went with a slightly brighter red.

    Toronto Harlowe Condos | 49.98m | 14s | Lamb Dev Corp | Core Architects

    Love the tight streetwall here.

    Toronto Massey Tower Condos | 206.95m | 60s | MOD Developments | Hariri Pontarini

    I love that this tower is helping to fill in the gap in the skyline between Queen & Gerrard.

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    While 55% of the condo units themselves may be sold, if there is a retail and hotel component then for financing purposes those parts of the building would also count as having been "sold".

    Toronto 217 Adelaide West | 103.5m | 23s | Humbold Properties | Adamson

    Curves? Colour!? What city is this?

    Toronto Maverick | 154.53m | 49s | Empire | Arcadis

    They take into account separation distance between towers but don't care if they cast shadows on to other towers, only parks and public squares.
