Can we start an Adam Vaughan Sticky with all his quotes?! There are bound to be some great ones in the next few weeks!

further to what you said; an interesting thing happened to me the other day. I was looking at some photos of the Yonge and Dundas area from the 70s, and I immediately became depressed. It was just so cold and brutal; if I didn’t recognize the streets (having gone to Ryerson for four years) I...

That is hilarious! ... and sadly, very true. along similar lines; I once said to a friend of mine that I thought this girl we saw pass us in the evening on the street was cute. He looked at me and said its the lighting and the fact that you are 6 foot 3. "Down where I am she is not that...

Seeing as how we are bringing this thread back... I think I spent a grand there over my 4 years at Ryerson. Amazing food. Any time I am in the area I pop in for a bite.

Currently if you are looking for zoning (short of posessing the by-law yourself) the only way to get the accurate in force by-law is if you go in person to the Toronto office of the district that the property exists within - Scarborough, north york, york, etobicoke or the core. Currently the...

Even though The Tall Buildings Guidelines aren't approved they sure don't contemplate 100 storeys anywhere in that area... not that policy has ever stopped anyone. Sorry just realized I made a pretty big typo there. As far as I know they are not approved, but are close to being approved...

lol. It seems like Toronto proposals have gotten a bit taller since this thread started.

Good from far, but far from good?... The more I look at it with no windows in it, it actually looks cool. Sadly, in order for it to function, it needs windows and they REALLY take away from the design. I am sure this was a building that looked great on paper and then fell seriously short when it...

Don't know if this has been posted yet or not; if not it is really worth looking at. Set to be received by Markham council tomorrow. http://www2.markham.ca/markham/ccbs/indexfile/Agendas/2012/Development%20Services/pl120515/Yonge%20Subway%20Presentation.pdf

Finally! A map that more or less throws all the current proposals in one spot and does it in a clear way.

I figured it looked like it was shy more then a few condo/ office buildings... either way what you have done so far is great work, I cant wait to see all the other ones when they get put in there.

Awsome renderings! Would you say that you have a lot of the 400+ list on here that I was looking at in another thread? If not I would imiagine that would add a considerable amount of density above and beyond what this shows. Amazing though, even with all this density we are still so small...

LOL the way govt. operates and contracts their work never stops amazing me. If we both grabbed shovels and did it by hand starting today we would have it done in 5 years.

Thanks. I was just noticing the legend in the article stating it is "street level LRT", which as we know that is not the case- specifically when it goes underground and re-surfaces somewhere near consumers. I guess another more precise question I have; does anyone know where the actual stops...

I have a question; does anyone have, or has anyone seen any good mapping for what is taking place right now as far as Eglinton and Sheppard transit lines go? I saw this article in Toronto Star yesterday and kind of rolled my eyes. it seems like every month the plans change thanks to politics. It...

Thanks for the welcome! I have been lurking for a while on and off; you guys seem to have some great discussion here especially about new projects. I find myself getting tunnel vision more and more freaquntly and getting stuck inside the vortex of process that regulatory planning seems pull...

I love this list. Thank you guys so much for the dedication of time you obviously have behind it. I think if nothing else it says a lot about the industry in general which I can best describe as very exciting and maybe even more scary. Certainly if you had asked most people they would have never...
