    Toronto/Chicago comparisons

    Except for the fact that the lottery system essentially means that income or wealth has hardly anything to do with whether you can buy a home on the island.

    Toronto DNA3 | ?m | 15s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    ^Which doesn't make him wrong. It's Canderel and G+C after all.

    Toronto Waterfront Innovation Centre | 53.03m | 11s | Waterfront Toronto | Sweeny &Co

    Not sure where that figure came from, but to avoid any confusion, the RFQ clearly stated: "Development potential for 350,000 square feet of state-of-the-art facilities"

    Toronto Union Park | 303.26m | 58s | Oxford Properties | Pelli Clarke Pelli

    +1. And, if I may, I would suggest that we should instead never underestimate certain UT member's irrational fear of well founded concerns over shadowing, view corridors, and heritage, or their irrational feelings of persecution whenever the architectural merits of certain tall buildings or...

    Toronto Union Park | 303.26m | 58s | Oxford Properties | Pelli Clarke Pelli

    And there aren't quite the same heritage issues here as with the Gehry proposal, nor will the towers here be as tightly packed as they are proposed at 1 Yonge.

    Regent Park Phase 3 General

    Some very quick highlights: 180 Sackville (rental building) has a targeted occupancy of 2015, with 75 RGI replacement units and 40 new affordable rent ones. To ease the transition from Cabbagetown, building heights along Gerrard have been reduced, including reducing the number of storeys...

    Toronto L-Tower | 204.82m | 58s | Cityzen | Daniel Libeskind

    Got to love the massively hyperbolic, ignorant and misplaced anger that occasionally creeps up at UT . The folks at City Hall would've loved the podium, which Castlepoint had secured approval for (whether through the OMB or the City, I admittedly don't recall), especially because of the arts...

    Toronto One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    Hardly the case, with G+C as the architect, never mind Canderel as the developer, Aura was perceived by many as doomed from the start, or with a cautious level of optimism at best. Great Gulf and HP, by contrast, have a much better track record of delivering higher quality buildings, and, even...

    Church-Wellesley Village

    Not really part of the Village, but wasn't sure where else to put this. They've been putting up some murals around the entrance of the TCHC building at 389 Church St: Compared to how it used to look, from Google maps.

    Toronto Seaton House Redevelopment | 36.88m | 9s | City of Toronto | Montgomery Sisam

    Not much new info, but things are moving forward: Abandoned George Street homes to become part of Seaton House

    Toronto Theatre Park | 156.96m | 47s | Lamb Dev Corp | a—A

    Shadowing is hardly an arbitrary factor, and what you said was, and I quote: No one is complaining about Aura's height, and I don't think any of it's many detractors ever have. When they do complain about it's height, it's in relation to how such a poorly designed building is unfortunately...

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    OCAD for one, I'd imagine, as Bathurst and Bloor is nowhere near their campus (spread out as it may be).
