    Toronto SIX50 King West | ?m | 16s | Freed | Core Architects

    Does the building on Bathurst St. have its own lobby on Bathurst? I can't seem to remember seeing one walking by it the other day. It will be interesting to see how this half of the block will look like with Musée and Oneeleven completed.

    Toronto Minto775 King West | ?m | 17s | Minto Group | Hariri Pontarini

    What do you mean? It has brick, real brick and it's not grey or black brick. Just wait until the railings are installed and the hoarding removed, it will look look much better.

    Toronto King West Life Condominiums | ?m | 25s | Plaza | Gabriel Bodor

    call it Liberty Canyon. The building reminds me of those massive instant condo comminities in China.

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

    Is this building being moved, just like at Pinnacle on Adelaide?

    Toronto Liberty Market Tower | 99.97m | 28s | Lifetime | Wallman Architects

    This is adding insult to injury. The Brazen Head building is really cool (and a great pub), they can't be serious about tearing it down including the smokestack.

    Toronto Minto775 King West | ?m | 17s | Minto Group | Hariri Pontarini

    The brickwork is a welcome feature along the stretch of King Street and ties into the neighbouring Gotham Lofts very nicely. The brick is actually laid by hand here, unlike the fake precasted panels seen at the Yards at Fort York and a number of buildings in Liberty Village. It's too bad...

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Stinson is a nut. If the Sapphire Tower was built, it would have been the biggest piece of regrettable architecture in the city. It would be iconic for all the wrong reasons. Controversy often follows Stinson and Sapphire Tower was never built for a number of reasons. We're in a different...

    Toronto INDX Condos | 178.6m | 54s | Lifetime | P + S / IBI

    I'm not surprised. INDX has done an excellent job in marketing this building. Very clever, witty and targeted the buyers/demographic to a tee. Location is great without being in the thick of things, but still connected to the PATH. The building design is nothing spectacular, but it's not bad...

    Toronto The Pemberton | 215.79m | 68s | Pemberton | a—A

    this area is going to be pretty damn windy with all of the super tall skyscrapers being built or proposed.

    Toronto 10 Ordnance Park | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | DTAH

    I smell it once in a while on Queens Quay to the east, but generally I don't think it's bad and I think it has gotten better this year. What is really bad is garbage collection day in the summer and City of Toronto sidewalk trash cans that wreak of old dank urine -- and that happens over most...

    Five Condos (Graywood Developments, Mod Developments) - Real Estate -

    to be fair, I am not an agent nor I work for a developer. In that construction complaints blog one of the contractors that was mentioned is also the contractor for Massey (Tucker HiRise), and this is also the Developer's second building and their first building has not finished yet to guage its...

    Five Condos (Graywood Developments, Mod Developments) - Real Estate -

    INDX and 88 Scott are direct competitors with Massey Tower. They are both located on quieter streets if you don't want to be in the thick of Yonge Street. INDX has sold most of their units, I think they might be almost 90% sold. 88 Scott has a better selection and variety of unit types and...

    Toronto Cube Lofts | ?m | 6s | Neilas | RAW Design

    I think (or hope) it will be well worth the wait and the finish of construction won't be compromised with the troubles they have been experiencing. I look forward to seeing the finish product. Those who bought as an investment are probably not complaining.

    Toronto Totem Condos | 64m | 18s | Worsley Urban | RAW Design

    Not really when you think about it. This entrance will serve the residents in the area, while the entrance on Yonge Street will be used primarily by visitors and people working in the area. The subway is getting more and more congested these days, so it really makes sense. I think it's a great...

    500 Wellington West (Freed) - Real Estate -

    Brad Lamb sold his former penthouse at 32 Stewart Street for just under $900,000 when the market was at its slowest. I believe it was sold again a few years later for $1.3m. It was nowhere as large as the PH at 500 Wellington but it's on two levels and has it's own private rooftop deck with a...

    Toronto The Florian | ?m | 25s | Mirabella Dev Corp | Hariri Pontarini

    Lotus looks like it was built 10 or 15 years ago. The Florian looks very handsome.

    Toronto Hotel X (was Hotel in the Garden) | ?m | 27s | Exhibition Place | NORR

    when I first saw the new rendering I thought that was the renovations to the old Four Seasons Hotel. This new design is a mess! What a huge missed opportunity. This site is perfect for some stellar iconic architecture. A landmark by the water, a destination on various levels, something you...

    Toronto King Portland Centre and Kingly Condos | 57.6m | 15s | Allied | Hariri Pontarini

    Sneaky. The article states that there will be residential, so I'm wondering if they are already working with a condo developer. Hope they could save at least parts of the original Context design, I don't want to see another monstroscity like what Riocan/Tribute did at Queen & Portland.

    Toronto SIX50 King West | ?m | 16s | Freed | Core Architects

    Nice finishes. Tastefully done. It's very unusual that there is a wall cabinet and pendant light taking up the wall above the vanity/sink with hardly any room for a mirror. Is the mirror inside the cabinet?
