    Charles-Hayden Parking Garage (+2s) COMPLETE

    While I understand the importance of having parking structures within the city, do we honestly still need large stand alone parking garages in important city blocks? Shouldn't they be buried and incorporated into a development or public space (like Harbourfront Centre's Canada Square/Ontario...

    Toronto U Condominiums | 183.79m | 56s | Pemberton | a—A

    Thank you for sharing those photos...a very well executed tower! The attention to details here is superb. My only small gripe is I wish they were a little more adventurous with the balcony glass colour/material. In doing so it may have provided a little more contrast with the tower itself and...

    Toronto Ten York Street Condos | 224.02m | 65s | Tridel | Wallman Architects

    Thank you for sharing....the spandrel here, albeit a small sample size is giving me a 300 Front St W vibe and I believe that will bode ill for the final product.

    Toronto 1Thousand Bay | 104.85m | 32s | Cresford | a—A

    While I understand the logistics of having vents on the mechanical units, why must they be so obvious? I find that it always ruins the overall look for me.

    Toronto BMO Field Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | Gensler

    Your probably right! And it appears from the renders that the roof support columns (phase 2 renovations) will be occupying that newly created space.

    Toronto BMO Field Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | Gensler

    It appears they have removed suites on both ends of that West stand. Was that ever mentioned in the renovation plans?

    Toronto BMO Field Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | Gensler

    I have little doubt in my mind that phase 3 will indeed go through. The 100th Anniversary of the Maple Leafs is happening in 2017 and they have a strong desire to host the outdoor Winter Classic. Just for that event alone, the additional 10,000 seats would go a long way in recouping the extra 10...

    Toronto Ripley's Aquarium of Canada | 13.11m | 2s | Ripley Entertainment | B+H

    Sorry this is a little off topic but could they apply the facade on the aquarium (which looks great) to the dreadful and tired looking concrete on the rogers centre? I think it would greatly modernize its look.

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

    I apologise if this has already been asked but are there plans to turn that decrepit parking lot into a magestical park - a la sugar beach, where it will graciously meet the boardwalk infront of pier 27? THANKS

    Toronto Parade at Concord CityPlace | 127.4m | 44s | Concord Adex | P + S / IBI

    I absolutely agree! The missing ingredient here is retail. Liberty village which has incorporated some retail seems to have much better street presence. So I am hopefully they will address this at some point. I thought I remembered reading that there would be some retail at parade but I don't...

    Blue Jays broadcasting... Sneaky, sneaky!

    I know its a small thing but it really bothers me too. The skyline has undergone such a huge transformation and it should be shown in all its glory!

    Toronto Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Toronto | 203.9m | 52s | Lifetime | a—A

    I also really hope they keep those fins...its the right thing to do and a fitting crown on a wonderful tower!

    Toronto Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    Now thats an infill project! well at lease infinity seems that way for me - ice on the other hand (based on the renderings, height) has the potential to be the real jewel of southcore

    Toronto Ryerson's Mattamy Athletics Centre + Loblaws at the Gardens | ?m | ?s | Ryerson University | Turner Fleischer

    That is pretty cool that they have started the ice sheet for the arena portion of the project. Going by some previous photos i thought they were still working on the loblaws portion. There is still a ton of cosmetic work to be done here, especially looking at those old rafters - i assume they...

This being my inaugural post i would first like to pay homage to those before me who have contributed so much to...
