Interesting. So, is this building's super-80s look a good, bad or neutral thing from your perspective? If it's neutral or bad, what would you rather see done differently. I'm just curious. :) I know it's too early to tell but from the renders and what I actually see so far, I'm liking this...

Perhaps it was meant to say 333 parking spaces?

Thanks for the link. I really hope the core sees continued activity and Mississauga and other 905 areas don't 'snatch' any potential office absorption that could have been seen in the core. It remains to be seen how many office projects can materialize but sometimes (in the grand scheme of...

Let me chime in here to say that I completely agree with TrickyRicky re: his points on smaller central and southern Ontario cities most likely seeing relative decline in the future (if you want to see small cities with strong future potential, it'll be places like Barrie & Guelph as they're...

uhhh...no, given the drama surrounding this building (i.e. its mediocrity) and now the silly name (and logo) of the resto/bar, it's Trump who'll be fired! All of us have 'quit' Trump before he could say "you're fired".

kkgg7: you say that Toronto should be categorized with cities like Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, etc. Well, Philadelphia is actually a cool city with significant history (in the NA context) and so if Toronto is categorized with it, that's fine, it's not a bad thing at all. Your attitude toward...

Well, these two mean the same thing to me regarding developments in the city - that's what happens when The Cheapening is seen so frequently; you start associating it with the larger noun (in this case, the city of Toronto).

Of the two displays shown above, the one on the right looks significantly better to me - it just looks/feels sharper and would stand out more, in a good way. That's of course just my opinion! So while the shape of this building is good (i.e. a non-box), this project got "Torontoized" (yes...

This is why I don't get too excited about new projects in Toronto when I first hear of them. I'm afraid of being disappointed either through the revisions that will take place (which more often that not will make the project less interesting and unique) or if that doesn't happen, the actual...

No worries! :) And yes, they're unfortunate. :(

OK, well whoever is to blame, then! As for your question on 'black granite slabs', I never said that in my prior post. I said blank (not black) granite blocks (which is what you refer to as granite punch-outs). I'm just clarifying this because I don't want you to think that I see black slabs...

Hi there, I don't necessarily think it makes sense to install something and then come back later to change it. I, along with others, were wondering if things may change in this particular project (at time of final completion) just because it looks so weird. Put another way, from a typical...

First of all, thank you for responding! That's appreciated! Now I'm just being candid, so don't mind me, but are you actually asking me what I mean by 'what will be done'? Obviously, I and others in the latest posts are referring to those 7-10 odd bottom floors where everything looks messy (with...

Exactly, it's so horrible. I have asked TrumpToronto twice on this but he doesn't respond - which probably means he knows that it's horrible and it's likely that not much will be done with this part. Wopchop, do you have information on what will be done with the east and south lower-sides of...

it would be the peripheral part of Yorkville, literally speaking...

I think nfitz was being sarcastic (just playing on the idea of surface parking lots in the core). :)

Trump has definitely had the most drama amongst the luxury towers...it gets top marks in that sense, at least! LOL!

Thanks for the info. I'm glad several tenants have expressed interest. I did not know that the city suggested that the construction would need to start before completion of the Ice condo towers. With the city restriction combined with tenant interest, is it safe to assume that construction may...

I don't mean this in a deragotory way but this project sounds so ghetto! :(

Ideally, for me, I would like to see low to mid rise development (<12 storeys) throughout our avenues (I'm not going to list which ones they are :)) and have the downtown area (from Jarvis to Spadina and the lake to Bloor) mostly high-rise, barring, of course, key heritage buildings, etc. like...
