    Markham GTA Centre | ?m | ?s | GTA S. and E. | BBB

    Sure, I guess Ti-cat fans can also attend Argo games if they really wanted to by that logic. Do you really think they would be feeling 'Yes! Another option to watch someone elses team!' ? Not to mention the fact that Hamilton has been trying to get an NHL team for dozens of years, only...

    Hypothetically, if this were true, than no team would ever be coming to Hamilton or Waterloo. Lol, Imagine how that region would feel.

    No you are not, it was posted in this thread by another poster, from a report from Cushman and Wakefield found here: http://www.cushwake.com/cwmbs4q10/PDF/retail_toronto_4q10.pdf However, it quotes usage of 20,000 sq feet of retail, and there is no more ground level lots with that type of...

    Throw away buildings - CBC

    Last Rant for me... ;) Despite my criticisms of the feature, I'm not a proponent of pure glass towers. And I actually agree with a lot of what they said. I do have strong issues with their presentation/editorialzing/one sided approach, as I mentioned several times before. --START RANT--...

    Throw away buildings - CBC

    Fair enough, yes I agree it is comparing two different things, and it may not be demonstrative of todays modern glass used in condos. However, I ask out of ignorance, which would be superior, 40-50 year old commercial high grade vs todays residential medium grade? Further, I believe that...

    Throw away buildings - CBC

    I agree that glass as a facade is inefficient, and an inferior insulator compared to other materials, that's quite obvious. I am in total agreement there. I'm not trying to argue against that. I am however, criticizing how the argument is being presented. See here the (editorial) title of...

    Throw away buildings - CBC

    After listening to two days of the radio broadcasts, I find the reporting to be one-sided and quite sensationalistic. The TV reporting and teasers of the feature are even worse. Firstly let me preface by saying that I think most condo owners are aware, and its very well documented, that...

    Throw away buildings - CBC

    (Not sure if this has been posted or not, tried to look for it but could not find a post.. Please delete if so..) On CBC Radio Metro Morning today they presented a discussion/thesis that centres around how glass buildings (in particular condos) will be viewed in the future as "throw away"...

    I guess the other thing to note, based on the sale brochure, it looks like the name of the building is now the King East Centre.
