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

    I don't know if I can agree with your sentiment. I was downtown a couple of weeks ago and while I was walking north towards 1 Bloor E. I could barely differentiate the contrast between the glazing and the balcony glass. Perhaps it was due to the dull and cloudy day, I don't know. On previous...

    Toronto Richmond Adelaide Centre: EY Tower | 188.05m | 40s | Oxford Properties | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    I can't help thinking that after looking at some of the above pictures that the oft maligned Trump Tower and it's dome is not only unique but looks damned good! I also can't stop thinking about the fact that some of the more prolific commentators in these forums who've bashed this and some...

    Toronto Concord Canada House | 231.97m | 74s | Concord Adex | Arcadis

    Alvino D., regarding the Trump Tower: I really liked it from the time it was envisioned, to it's renders and right up to the time it was topped off. However after reading unending criticism, slagging, including idiotic comments from our own resident mADMAn likening the spire to a rectal...

    Toronto RBC WaterPark Place III | 140.2m | 30s | Oxford Properties | WZMH

    Would've ruined that nice little "taper".

    Toronto Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    Careful here. All the "sophisticates," that don't much fancy this thing might choke on their beer and nuts if you post comments like these on this thread.

    Yyzer, look up Subway Pushers on "You Tube" and you'll take your comment back.

    Toronto Cinema Tower | 142.64m | 43s | Daniels | Kirkor Architects

    Had to see that entrance off Widmar with my own eyes! Yeah, it's pretty comical, but nothing a little "Canesten" couldn't cure.

    Toronto St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    rpeters....that is just so funny! Thanks for that. I'm going to bed laughing. P.S. Maybe they could drop the T and add CH and make it CHUMP Tower .... in honour, of course, of all the astute investors that bought here!

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

    Well my dear, you must have been tippling a bit this weekend and fallen off your chair and hit your head. The only thing this would have in common with treasure would be if it was towed out to the middle of the lake and sunk!

    Toronto Scotiabank North Tower at Bay Adelaide Centre | 140.2m | 32s | Brookfield | KPMB

    ^^^ And further hide the Trump, which I am sad to say, I was a big fan of until I saw the finished product! Sorry, Steveve.

    Toronto Parade at Concord CityPlace | 127.4m | 44s | Concord Adex | P + S / IBI

    Right on, Auto! I'm about to hit the big 60 and I just bought myself an Audi TT convertible. It's not very comfortable, the driver's seat is a little tight for my slightly wide ass, but by God it's beautiful. It's not new, 2008, but it's all I can afford. It's something I couldn't afford when I...

    Mississauga Absolute World | 169.77m | 56s | Cityzen | MAD architects

    Those horses are really nice! Too bad they didn't put larger versions on the roofs! Kinda of a take on a weather vane.Would've been an improvement over what's there now!

    The only smell wafting through the air here is the stench of your elitism. This fart you posted is drivel. These forums are every man's forums! And I'm very happy in my "amateurish" skin. To throw your "Soviet Constructivism" and "Pug-esque Party line" at me because I voiced my opinion about a...

    Toronto St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    You know something adma, I do agree with you on a couple of the buildings which you mentioned, not so much with the Crystal. However, the Canada Trust Tower is very evident on our skyline and that jumble of boxes on top doesn't work for me no how and the mast is nothing more than an elongated...

    Hmmm, Pounced on by the old guard. One thing I'll tell you is that I've probably been around longer than most of you senior posters so my views are fairly refined. My interest in architecture and tall buildings began somewhere near Steveve's age and I've enjoyed seeing Toronto grow. I have a...

    Toronto St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    Outdated, conservative? Quite often when architects try to push the envelope they finish with something that REALLY doesn't work. I guess that if you follow your reasoning the Chrysler building in New York or the Empire State Building are outdated and unappealing. The fact is that "Everything...
