"buddy - give it up already." Look, 'buddy', you've said this 'buddy' interjection countless times, like a Tourette's sufferer, and it's getting kind of stale. You should 'tone down your tics' already, 'buddy', and give it up and just sit there, read the threads, and move on. Anyway, ORNGE was...

Well, this guy seems to be making quite a 'splash' at 1 Cole as he seems to have gotten a reputation for urinating in the planters to the entrance of the 1 Cole West Building ... so much so, that the cedars have all 'died' from uric acid poisoning. I wonder if he'll make an appearance whilst...

But the 1st one already left, so then there's that other one across the street that only got approved and built for 12 storeys, at 8 feet per floor, so I doubt 3x+ the height across the street with no acceptable set back is going to get approved at anything higher than 12 storeys. Especially if...

Here, enjoy a freshly-squeezed ORNGE :)

I wouldn't doubt if it has something to do with a last minute change in design, so as to put up some kind of barrier to prevent purchasers from jumping out their windows and in front of oncoming GO Trains when they suddenly are hit with the shock of recognition that they paid WAY TOO MUCH for...

Well, that student residence across the street at Gerrard/Church could've applied for 30+ storeys, but they couldn't get it approved, so I wouldn't assume that applying for quadruple what was approved across the street would fly. Remember, the 50 storey monolith proposed south of the Primrose...

Actually, I'm sure prospective buyers, or the lack of them, will have more of a say about what gets built (or doesn't) at this location.

The plot of land is too tiny to accommodate the developers' proposed decoy height and design with has hardly any setback from the streets ... so the developers are off to the OMB ready to line some board members' pockets with cash.

Nobody put guns to the developers' heads and forced them to overpay by multi-million$ for that dud of a parcel of land ... so now the developers have to justify their purchase cost by building something so recklessly conceived with the hopes of making profits, and thinking all they have to do is...

What are the chances that this would actually get approved and built ? It looks OK when viewing it from Allan Gardens because it's kind of narrow , but looking at it from the south and north, it suddenly looks like a monolithic slab, something like what the Primrose would look like if it, too...

You're not kidding, considering that most of the buyers will be entrepreneurial types wanting to set up brothels, won't be surprised if bidets are ordered en masse for huge developer discount.

Actually, 'dude', you move on. There's a reason why it's not going anywhere, you're the only one breathing life into it, even Menkes pulled the life support, you're the only who's screaming 'Don't !!!'

I'd rather see an 83 storey office tower there at 300m+. Condo towers are starting to get boring on the skyline, especially when they copy the latest fad, i.e., curvy balconies, which will look 'dated' in a couple of years. If building tall condo towers and wanting to make an impact on the...

Everyone knows that this section of Church street was a dismal stretch, just north of ever-expanding RU. RU has slowly but surely taken over a lot of the east downtown, from Dundas north and Yonge eastward, up to and including Church/Carlton (MLG). Tall condos just don't make sense in this...

What Toronto needs is something huge at this spot, or at the 45 Bay Street plot ... that would surpass that rather stale 72 storey 1st CDN place thingey. It's coming on 4 decades now that that stale uninspiring landmark has dominated downtown, time for something to make a statement. Bring on the...

Yes, Havana is crumbling, they are so slow in rejuvenating their historical buildings, they can't keep pace with the dilapidation. Also, I've never seen a city with so much of dog poop everywhere, I mean, it's EVERYWHERE, they just don't bother cleaning it up, and there are quite a few dogs...

This is being marketed to busy professionals, probably younger professionals, who just don't have any spare time out of their 24 hour busy work day to spend more than a couple minutes commuting in a day. Now that brothels are legal in Ontario, I can easily see a demand for condos smack in the...

I would. So will all of my neighbours. Let's build this beside your place and see how you feel.

Yes. There are still lots of streets with houses on them east of Yonge, Coronation-type streets, i.e. the BBC series ... don't forget Cabbagetown, world's largest still-in-tact tract of Victorian-type houses, so no wonder there's hesitation, or out-right denial, of developers' bids to create...

Will be chopped down significantly. Even though I like tall buildings, ever-changing skylines, all those homeowners within walking distance of this proposed project will have a say, and it's going to be chopped down guaranteed. I would much prefer a super-tall close to or in the financial...
