    Toronto Toronto Island Park Master Plan | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto

    Wait...don't we already have an undeveloped, infill peninsula, just to the east of The Island, that's about the perfect size for a small commuter airport? *Ducks into bomb shelter with 10+ years of provisions*

    Toronto Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    Yup, so good that you'll have to start watermarking your watermarks.

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

    ....or perhaps a certain...fruit store...???

    Shabby Public Realm

    Clearly, they were placed by superintelligent aliens as a means to advance our species.

    Ontario Science Centre

    Doug's helpful answer to the question: "Can you summarize in exactly 20 words what the engineering report said about the the OSC"?

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Maybe the same people who are annoyed by the curves in the letter "S".

    Toronto West Don Lands: Block 13 | 139.31m | 43s | Dream | Henriquez Partners

    Clearly, Toronto City Council's recent motion "Towards a Beautiful City," is not having its desired effect.

    Toronto 350 Bloor East | 209.07m | 63s | Osmington Gerofsky | Hariri Pontarini

    Adding to WFH, A.I. will likely further decimate office jobs in the coming one or two decades (and beyond). I honestly can't see the demand for office space ever returning to the levels they were at pre-covid. It's a different world now and we're never going back.

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Surely the downtown core can't offer a more challenging site for subway construction than the urban jungle of Yonge and Egg.

    London 100 Kellogg Lane Conversion | ?m | 4s | Cribbage Group

    Really glad to find this new thread. I live just a few blocks from this place and am part of a group that meets here on a regular basis. It's actually quite a fantastic complex, especially for such a small city, and I'm amazed that it's financially sustainable.

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    Well, here in the thread-where-time-stands-still, it really does appear that this thing's barely moved in 2 or 3 months. At this rate it won't top out until next summer (at which point Pinnacle One Yonge will have overtaken it, and CIBC 2 will be ready for its new occupants). And, keep in mind...

    The Climate Change Thread

    Yeah, all that fuss about acid rain and the ozone hole was such a waste since those problems just went away by themselves. I mean, it's not like any corrective action was taken due to media attnetion and environmental activism at the time. But, hey, "scientists", pfft, what do they know?

    The Ford Clown Car Show has to be the best vaudeville act since The Three Stooges.

    Toronto Parliament Slip | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto | West 8

    Personally, I think this would be a great site for a proper planetarium. I know somthing is being planned for the U of T but this site is infinity times better. Just my opinion.

    Toronto 10 Ordnance Park | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | DTAH

    It would be nice if at some point this limited park space could be integrated, via railway decks, with pre-existing parks to the north and south. (Thinking especially of Garrison Common/Fort York) It would be much less costly than Raildeck Park (RIP) and deliver more bang for the buck since the...

    Toronto Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    Alas, my fondest Blue Jays memories are from that early Skydome period. (And I'm sure I'm not the only one...)

    Toronto Royal Ontario Museum | ?m | ?s | Daniel Libeskind

    Personally, I think that--in an ideal universe--all of the anthropological/world civilization stuff would be exhibited separately in its own museum. A repurposed Old City Hall might be the ideal place, where it could be effectively partnered with the long gestating Toronto/Ontario history museum...

    Future of the Hearn Generating Station

    Well, two cultural amenities the city is sorely lacking is a decent modern art gallery and a planetarium. I'm just dreaming here, but the Hearn could easily fit them both!

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

    It's really a shame that the developers didn't try to achieve something like "The Well" with this project. The potential was definitely there: huge local population, direct connection to The Path, proper mix of commercial and residential, and the absence of anything similar in the area. Really...

    Toronto Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    With the growth and exponential advancement of virtual reality, A.I. content, as well as Egames, I wonder how much longer traditional live sports can rely on gate admissions to keep them viable? Esp. baseball which seems to be one of the least enticing spectacles for our dopamine addicted...
