I really hope there are nice ground level finishes here e.g. interlock / nice pavers - I"m not sure that'll be the case though ...

It's interesting as the project website hasn't had an update in 2 years. I wonder if they'll look to remove the office portion of the proposal and make it purely residential at this point. But I agree with you, I've always been found of this office building. With that said, the proposal as it...

Yep and you can find it on this forum :)

Wow this is just going to be amazing, not what I had expected at all !

Is it really the second most expensive subway build out?? Why, I find that hard to believe?

I believe there are two main aspects to consider here. First, I firmly believe it's worth preserving, and I don't quite understand the comments about it not holding up well—it looks great to me. That said, someone brought up a valid point earlier: what if we could build on this site from...

Honestly it's not that bad : ) It's better in person those pictures don't do it justice, it's not great don't get me wrong but ... it's not terrible - the podium is, hmm, creative ?

I think the zoo comparison is a great one and it does make me wonder how things got so bad at the OSC - especially given how world renowned it was in the early days ! If you think back maybe 3 or 4 years ago - there were many articles about low zoo attendance and how it was struggling - I would...

Seems like desperation ... I hope Toronto never gets to that point unless they're mandating affordable housing to go along with the conversion. I'm not sure why anyone would harrold that as a model to copy. Maybe the thought is they do it enough it get's traction and then can start to decrease...

Is that temporary ? I'm surprised they need that with the reno of the MacDonald block ?

Right and office traffic is really key as well - so that's going to play a role. Office in this context can be anything (e.g. schools, ...) - something to generate day time traffic - often residents aren't necessarily working nearby so that doesn't help.

Anyone feel this is going to be a bit of oversaturation of "food halls" ? :) There's also union station + Eaton Center

Though it'll be interesting to see what they do now given the new commercial market ... I wouldn't be surprised if they try to make a case for demolishing it and replacing it with residential only.

I find this fascinating - can you expand more on this ? I don't really follow how you could waterproof less for equipment/storage compared to say parking ? :) I would naively think the same effort to waterproof would be required either way.

Between the two buildings, I'll takes ours too be honest :) - I like the actual metal material for the contrast vs the different glass.

I don't understand why the TPL is giving out free passes to the aquarium or other tourist sites - the concept never made sense to me. Are they getting a deal i.e. it's actually free to the TPL - or are they spending their budget on this ? I'm completely open to giving it to people who...

Right for the amount of content. I really wish they could expand somehow somewhere

I’m curious when this was built was there any allowance for a future expansion. Every time I’ve been here it’s been absolutely packed, so I suspect attendance is not an issue, if not the opposite. Mind you, none of that is necessarily incentive on their part.

Looking really nice in the morning fog, bonus cn tower shot as well

I mean I wouldn't exactly call that packed sidewalks, just sayin ... point stands regardless.
