    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Not necessarily. I'm not 100% but it's likely that it takes time for the transfer of funds to Indiegogo, then additional time for the transfer of funds to the campaign fund raiser. Hopefully that process doesn't exceed the 5 days remaining on the Crackstarter, and that the fund raiser...

    I'd say about 30 :p

    Wow, what a completely useless press conference that really had nothing to do with the situation.

    Toronto One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    Earlier in this thread I had predicted 1 Bloor reaching ground level by winter. Looks like I'll be way off on my prediction. This one is moving up at an extraordinary rate.

    Toronto 2 Queen West | 34.44m | 7s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    I think the building looks pretty decent. I only wish they carried up the vertical elements more prominently and reduced the prominence of the horizontals. Very happy to know it'll be rental, and thanks for that tidbit I42.

    I'm quite sure posting entire copywritten articles is also against the forum rules, no?

    Toronto 2 Queen West | 34.44m | 7s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    Which really great tower? Have there been renderings of this released? I haven't seen any. It seems to me that you're blaming the City for something that is, at least in some cases, a legitimate concern and all before we've seen the proposal. But I suppose what it looks like, how it meets the...

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

    LOL, i42. Way to stir up the pot.

    Toronto One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    My guess for ground level is closer towards December of this year. June would certainly be optimistic in my opinion.

    Toronto Massey Tower Condos | 206.95m | 60s | MOD Developments | Hariri Pontarini

    Agreed, but I also feel that we need to be careful with that as there are a large number of skyscraper fans on here that seem to care for nothing other than the height of the building. Certainly not everyone, but I'd say they're in the majority here. Used to be one myself and still love me a...

    Toronto Waterlink at Pier 27 | 43.89m | 14s | Cityzen | a—A

    Me too. 10 years ago I never would have thought I'd see the day that I say to myself "I like the Sheraton and Manulife buildings". I find the eastern wall on Pier 27 to be decent - perhaps because of this new-found interest in slabs. :p I'm confident that these buildings will look amazing...

    Are we now allowing indoor spaces for public art contributions as part of Sec. 37 requirements?

    Toronto River City Condos Phases 1 & 2 | ?m | 16s | Urban Capital | ZAS Architects

    Sorry, I should have worded that better. What I meant was poor execution in terms of the ground levels and urbanity of the high-rise (meaning the building and not just the tower part). I certainly don't see the overall execution to be a poor one. These guys are doing a fantastic job with what...

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

    That's a pretty darned accurate depiction you wrote there, 3D. Getting him to sit in one place and/or focus on one thing for more than a few minutes was like pulling hair. Not to mention his aversion to being committed to anything, like agreements or contracts. Water under the bridge. I'm...

    Toronto River City Condos Phases 1 & 2 | ?m | 16s | Urban Capital | ZAS Architects

    30+? Why is that? What they're doing so far is surprisingly urban and I'd hate to see that ruined by an poorly executed highrise. Not to say that highrises can't also be urban, but this city seems to struggle with that these days.

    Toronto Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    After watching that video, I just don't see how those retail spaces will be successful. I hope I'm wrong though. IMO, the space with the most potential is the (presumably) food court area vendours. Admittedly I haven't been down there yet myself.

    Supertall and near-Supertall Rumour/Speculation Thread

    I can see many or most of these getting built, but likely with height reductions for most of them. Submit an application for something taller than you want to build, the City and community negotiate lower floor count and the developer obliges and gets what they were actually looking for. Seems...

    Malware warning

    I'm now also getting the warning today. Here's some thoughts for the UT admins. - I'd say that that 000's thought is a distinct possibility. - I'm not 100% certain that Google also marks a website as potentially malicious based on linkbacks (to malicious sites) found within it. If they do...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I'm certainly anti-Ford but I'm happy that this case has been thrown out by the judge. Indeed Foulidis should be responsible for paying all of Ford legal fees as there hasn't been any wrong-doing on Ford's part in this case. Now as for whether or not the Tuggs deal "stinks" I don't know enough...
