    Toronto 95 St Joseph | 134.7m | 40s | Daniels | Core Architects

    Nope, it will border St. Mike's to the north. This is the Basilean Fathers building.

    Toronto Sidewalk Toronto at Quayside | ?m | ?s | Sidewalk | Snøhetta

    What?! The Star and other media have amplified the voice of a small vocal minority and portrayed it as a widely held opinion?! Never Engineered controversy for clicks has ruined journalism.

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    "Sources have also said that there is going to be a meeting between Mattamy Homes and the provincial government".... I'm calling it now: backroom deals will be made between Mattamy and DoFo's government, and they will get the project rather than Sidewalk Labs. I guess the $100,000 that they...

    Toronto Maple House at Canary Landing | 89.61m | 26s | Dream | COBE Architects

    If you find *this* sterile, then you must be really upset about the 95% of developments that are glass and spandrel boxes. I think these are going to be some of the best low-high-rises we've seen in a long time, up there with 60 Colborne.

    Ontario Line Extension West of Ontario Place (Speculation)

    As someone who takes the Bay bus daily, it is already so overcrowded below Bloor (with people transferring at Bay Station because they are too lazy to walk to the subway or do not want to transfer at Bloor-Yonge) during rush hour that it is unuseable. I have started to walk home to avoid the...

    Toronto ANX | 48.07m | 13s | Freed | Teeple Architects

    Surgery next to a very vibrate-y rail corridor?! :oops:

    Toronto Sixty Colborne Condos | 82.29m | 25s | Freed | a—A

    From the pictures I wasn't sure if it was giraffe or brown cow. Either way, stunning!

    Toronto Social at Church + Dundas | 164.89m | 52s | Pemberton | RAW Design

    I'd take Tacos 101 and storefronts for small businesses over this banal condo any day. Sorry not sorry, real estate investors.

    Toronto 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    I’m no height fetishist (at least when it comes to buildings) but.... I really wish this was 25% taller.

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Unfortunately provincial regulations require the ROWS to be this wide. City Planning wanted them to be narrower in the PanAm/West Donlands, but they couldn't override provincial legislation. As long as Queens Park is in the thrall of suburban and rural mediocrity, we're not going to see anything...

    2018 Municipal Election: Toronto Council Races

    Woah woah woah. The Libs were toast no matter what. Too much baggage. The ONDP would never have won in a million years, and will never win another provincial election. They are unelectable in the 905, particularly with the current leadership, which only constructs platforms for their...

    2018 Municipal Election: Toronto Council Races

    And the right bitches and moans about activist judges until the "activist judges" make a decision they like :rolleyes:

    Toronto 245 Queen Street East | 94.3m | 25s | ONE Properties | Graziani + Corazza

    It will change by adding an influx of new residents. More eyes on the street, more customers for new businesses, etc. Maybe some rooming houses will go, but the services will stay. As they should. They have to go somewhere, and east downtown is where the clients are.

    Toronto Municipal Election 2018: Mayor’s Race

    And unfortunately for him, a lot of those people are receptive to Jen Keesmaat's progressive messaging. The Scarborough numbers do not surprise me. Tory radiates "elite" more than Keesmaat does. I think she has a shot at this thing.

    My understanding is that they're being kept as a heritage element.

    Jennifer Keesmaat's Toronto

    If the city was able to implement the Bloor bike lanes with the current cast on city council, I'm sure she could get the future council to agree to a few new lanes. City council is always sycophantic towards a new mayor (as we saw with Ford and Tory) while they are jockeying for committee...

    Amazon Second HQ

    If Sidewalk Labs is any indication, I don't think there is much appetite for that amongst the political classes.

    Toronto Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    Depending who is mayor come October... it may happen sooner than you think.

    Toronto 245 Queen Street East | 94.3m | 25s | ONE Properties | Graziani + Corazza

    The original plan was a ridiculous overbuild of the site. There was no way it was ever going to get approved. So yeah, you can blame the developer.

    East Bayfront: Parkside/Bayside/Dockside neighbourhoods Overview

    Maybe it's generational.. my friends and I (millennials), almost all of whom live in condos, exclusively complain about architecture and design. We recognize that more supply is necessary for more affordability. And I'm the only one who is working in/interested in urban development. Judging by...
