Anyone have an update here? I wonder if they are delaying to see how the bankrupt half-built condo/office development across from City Hall plays out?

Is it a sign that there are no more supertall rumours? :-) almost six months since a post here.

It would be shameful if we let some of the last remaining Victorian vestiges get demolished for these two boxes. How can we stop this?

New renderings are out but little indication as to the design of the towers. I wonder if any of the vision of the original plans will remain.

How long before the residents start complaining about the noise from the patio that was there long before the condo building?

I wish we could get beyond the height debates as they always essentialise a project down to how tall it is. Tall is perfectly fine and this is a a place in the city to have tall. That said, the streetscape on this section of King is one of my favourites and I fear that this project and the one...

Yes seems to be the usual anti-height rhetoric..not enough parking etc etc. Barrie needs more intensification..not less. It is funny that the residents of the high rise condos next door seem to be generating most of the negative comments, when they themselves are living in buildings that other...

Actually the downtown has come a long way and it is a beautiful waterfront. Did Harmony Village get the height increase approved. 30 storeys will seem tall in Barrie.

First building is down..they are starting on the east side and moving west..last chance to see the Blue Bird building!

Didn't anyone think that it was strange that they held a design competition, including voting by the public, and then announced that THREE firms won and the competing firms all had to collaborate together on an all-new design that nobody actually voted or judged? This sounds like a recipe for...

Looks like we have passed the peak of the boom...no more supertall rumours! :-)

Let us be ambitious and sustainable at the same time. I would rather have 5 towers in that very dense cluster at 1 Yonge, and have one of them be a super tall of 120 storeys that is architecturally significant than 6 mediocre 70-ish storey towers. Perhaps allowing a few more supertalls in empty...

This is the type of avenue level, mid-rise densification the city needs. But how long do you think it will be before the neighbouring detached home dwellers get up in arms about height (even though only six storeys), parking, traffic etc etc etc. the usual concerns.

The Globe and Mail needs to be downtown. A suburban location is just wrong for this kind of sophisticated broadsheet of record. The reporters and management need to be downtown. Sure land is cheaper in the suburbs, but imagine the cost to the brand and the culture of the newsroom.

BREAKING NEWS (literally) Due to technical failure, causing a window to shatter, Adelaide Street has been closed off in front of the Trump Tower. This has resulted in the Bay Adelaide Centre to shut all entrances to the southwest lobby of the Bay Adelaide Centre, as glass and debris has strewn...

Interesting what see what happens to this project - whether it will survive the condo downturn, but also interesting to see if City Place go for a height increase because whilst this building once seemed a stand-out in terms of height, a "signature" for the west downtown if you will, now with...

Can you actually sit at this venue or is it standing room only. They keep saying it "lets you get close to your favourite artists" which seems to me to be code for standing in a big pen?

Perhaps it will be a three tower set, Synergy, followed by Leverage, and Paradigm towers! They guys who make up these condo project names crack me up!

Is that a casing on the spire that will be removed? Also when does the blue covering on the mechanical box come off?
