    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    That puny little office building attached to the arena has got to go! A waste of space and a wasted opportunity.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    In order to not overload Union Station. With the amount of passenger flow projected they absolutely must look at options to provide future relief for Union station otherwise it risks being overwhelmed even with the planned upgrades to the station. By stopping at the Ex passenger traveling into...

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

    I'm telling you, I still believe she'll top out before The One does. Book It.

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

    I first saw that many years back expected the CTBUH to make the appropriate changes but surprisingly there's never been any corrections. Yes the Google Earth data could be wrong, but if it was wrong there would be a lot more evidence. How so? Well, GE's elevation data was taken from the Shuttle...

    Agreed. When it comes to massing this and the CG tower are the two best skyscrapers(150m+) going up in the GTA, despite the poor cladding its still a 'win' overall to me. However even with better cladding CG is not without it's own (minor)flaws either.

    You guys may be right, but it'll hardly matter in the end as it isn't a Chrysler Tower vs 40 Wall Street scenario, it's more of a Chrysler Tower vs the Empire State Building. It may lose the battle but ultimately it will win the war, that much has been decided. Chrysler may have been the first...

    Toronto 199 Church | 124.5m | 39s | CentreCourt | Arcadis

    That area has so much density now that it looks like it could be the downtown core of a smaller Canadian city in and of itself.

    Vaughan Festival Condominiums | 189.05m | 59s | Menkes | Arcadis

    How tall is this thing?! First time seeing this project and thread title just has the floor count, would it be Vaughan's new tallest?

    Love the Earthly tones of the limestone here, it's a welcome reprieve from the otherwise monotonous sea of blue, notwithstanding the high quality of the 4 seasons ofc.

    Apparently not; The city only provides "guidance" in regards to architectural lighting, although I can definitely see that changing if more people start complaining about 'light pollution' going forward. It's only building signage that requires approval for now.

    Starting to really make its presence felt around Union

    Looked like the RailGun was targeting North York today

    Nice pavers, but how much longer do I have to wait before the city cuts some sexy black lines into them? 😏

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    What do the police have anything to do with it? A much closer comparable would be the TTC which gives employees 30 days not this pittance. That's all it is. It's interjecting an unnecessary layer into the process, for new hires it absolutely introduces a certain degree of coercion, even if that...

    Toronto Thorncliffe Park TOC: 26 Overlea Boulevard | 179.6m | 56s | Infrastructure ON | SvN

    Once upon a time it used to be baseball... but now public transit is the new; "Build it, and they will come."

    Same here. There is a general lack of buildings with setbacks in the city, especially ones that have a good symmetry in their design. And while I acknowledge the complaints about the quality of the facade, from a distance she sure cuts out a nice slender profile.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Never thought I'd hear the day when someone wanted more cameras - I mean have you seen Union Station lately? Place has more surveillance than Fort Knox. Anyhow, every station has cameras Long Branch included, take a look when exiting the stairwell they're mounted to its walls. But the coverage...

    Yeah, apparently at last word they feel like revising service patterns will be sufficient to prevent it from being a choke point i.e Running Stouffville trips on the northern side of the Kingston corridor between the junction and Union.
