It's bright, but not THAT bright. I'd say Post #250 most accurately reflects the colour.

I suppose "live next to the sketchiest park and intersection in the entire city" didn't have the same ring. But I do wish them luck with this project.

No rEgrets.

Please no. These complexes were a huge urban design mistake and do not need to be retained. Pictures are good enough.

It's the Aviary in the Canary District :)

You don't typically pay maintenance fees on exterior space. It's considered an exclusive use common element. I'm not even sure you'd pay higher property taxes, for the same reason. You don't technically own the balcony.

3BR at 876 sq ft. Lol ok.

I wonder why they didn't paint them on the ground. It seems like a PITA to paint them after they're installed.

Having passed by many times, it doesn't look good in nice weather either, IMHO. Not helped by the bitsy window wall. Oh well, it's only an entire block. :)

OOF, some Panel members did not sound happy. To summarize the comments on colour, the architect said they had been discouraged from using colour by the City and community, who said all the buildings should "look the same". I'd like to know who in the community allegedly said that, as I'm not...

Well, the government is elected and makes the law (within the confines of the constitution), so it's actually the most accountable. Arguably, any system that prioritizes private interests over the choices of the legislature is anti-democratic. People might disagree with what the government is...

It looks exactly like that in real life. I wouldn't even call it brick, it looks more like a tile or breeze block. I like it.

Ouch. This is one of the harshest downgrades I've seen in a while. It hurts even more coming from a developer that I normally trust to invest in the neighbourhood.

I think a lot of people would disagree that this is the heritage we should be saving. I have nothing against brutalism, and there are many great and interesting examples that should be preserved, but this building, frankly, is ugly, demonstrates almost nothing in terms of unique craftsmanship...

I take your notes (and love your expert contributions), but I always push back against criticisms of the linear park along Front Street. I think it's fantastic. UT contributors often gripe about a lack of public realm and park space, then a neighbourhood is built that provides that space...

This is a dangerous line of conspiracy, as it undermines confidence in the judiciary without any real evidence of bias. First, there is a difference between provincial court judges (who conduct bail hearings, hear matters relating to provincial offences under the Highway Traffic Act, Fire Code...

Back to the topic at hand. I wrote to the City / construction manager and received the following information on the multi-use trail (MUT): As part of the Eastern Avenue bridge rehabilitation, it is planned to replace the existing sidewalk on the south side of the Eastern Avenue bridge (Bridge...

Well, it's a $65 million project that involves replacing the asphalt, repairing the concrete roadway, replacing the bridge walls, replacing expansion joints, repairing underside steel trusses, building a new multi-use path (which requires some road reconfiguration), and building two portions of...

Looks like they graded them perfectly, as there's a drain right in the middle. But the drain doesn't seem to be draining.

I totally get the appeal. It's faster than fast food without being garbage food, the product is pretty standardized, and its relatively cheap. Great as a tourist or to grab a quick lunch on a busy day. I see outlets doing brisk business in St. Lawrence Market, the PATH, Yorkville, near the...
