    Toronto Bathurst Quay Revitalization | ?m | 2s | City of Toronto | Kearns Mancini

    Do you mean the huge lakefront parking lot on Little Norway Cres and Stadium Rd? I would love to see that disappear as well. People should be taking transit to the airport - the lakefront should not be paved over. Does anyone know who owns that lot?

    Toronto Bathurst Quay Revitalization | ?m | 2s | City of Toronto | Kearns Mancini

    Can someone please explain to me the logic of including a parking lot here? To my mind it is a travesty - why does Toronto always blight waterfront land with parking lots?

    2018 Provincial Election Transit Promises

    My first thought is a more fundamental thought- how will they pay for their transit plans (or any of their plans)? When the numbers don't add up, which of these promises would be first to get shelved? Otherwise, it is a startling (in a good way) change from previous conservative plans and...

    Paradise Theatre (1006 Bloor St W, Tawse, restoration, ERA Architects)

    I am not sure who the owner is, but I have a friend who is going to start working on the creative side for this venue next month, so it is definitely going forward. From yesterday:

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

    Thanks i42, now I understand the logic behind the square placement. If it could put timelines in jeopardy, depending on the elimination of the S-curve is not something I would want to do if I were Pinnacle. I really hope a design competition will yield something compelling enough to make people...

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

    I'm generally happy with the design direction they are going in here. But I do wonder why the public square is being planned for the northwest corner. Who would want to linger in a place with the looming presence of the Gardiner and little else of interest? The square will also lie in the shadow...

    Toronto Bisha Hotel and Residences | 146.91m | 44s | Lifetime | Wallman Architects

    And it would seem that the west view will be protected from development for the foreseeable future .... Terrible.

    Toronto Midtowns on the Subway | 11.58m | 3s | Wycliffe Homes | SRN Architects Inc.

    IMHO the entire south side of lawrence from the subway to dufferin should be mid-rise. But I guess this is progress. I count 6 houses in this cluster - hopefully they can incorporate the last one if it isn't part of the assembly.

    Toronto Alter | 107.89m | 33s | Tridel | a—A

    I'm a west side dweller who doesn't make it east of Yonge often enough (unless you count the waterfront). I biked through yesterday, and even though I follow these developments on UT, I was struck by the development boom. I think Condovo brings up some great points. We need to be attuned to...

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

    It's true that the roof changes were particularly disappointing, but the finished product still ranks as one of the most attractive towers in the city as far as I am concerned - and not simply due to the sea of mediocrity, though that never hurts! But I have to agree about the ground level...
