Gonna disagree. I think this is much better than most new builds. Modernist condos look best when the exterior elements follow a "grid" of sorts like this rather than having random balconies popping out everywhere. The white/light green combo is also refreshing. The curves on the podium are a...

No one is advocating for wholesale destruction. There are plenty of insignificant or run-down properties within 5 blocks of here that are protected (through zoning mostly). These would be cheap and appropriate sites for intensification. When these sites are not available, it starts to make...

Unfortunately as long as large swathes of nearby unremarkable Victorian houses, also largely altered, are protected from redevelopment, this will continue to happen. Most significant heritage buildings are located in the few areas where the City allows tall buildings to get built, so this is...

I hope the "revocation" of parking rights only lasts like, say, the first five years of residence. They should probably have an equal shot at street parking after that. Lol, this city love to create entitlements. And it's almost always in favour of established people at the expense of others.

It would be nice if we lived in a world where the same amount of hand-wringing was extended to renters who are evicted because their landlord wants to renovate or because the landlord's "family member" is moving in... for some reason homeowners are afforded more public sympathy. Wonder why...

It's pretty clear from these maps that it wouldn't be safe for someone to be occupying those very old houses (most are +/- 100 years old) while extensive excavation is going on underneath. This area has sufficient parkland. Withrow Park, Riverdale Park, Greenwood Park all within 500m. This...

Great location for a midrise along Pape, maybe with some retail and townhouses at ground level. I'm pretty sure the block along Langley is envisioned as something similar. It'll be a nice little pocket of TOC when finished.

It comes down to the developer... Allied is in the top 5% (higher?) when it comes to design, few others will match the quality of their details. Westbank too, and they're based in Vancouver (so your comment about downtown Van makes sense)

You mean sue the province? The city has nothing to do with the Ontario Line.

Whoever it was, they didn't do a great job. The units have so many issues- malfunctioning AC, poorly fitted pipes that leak, plaster splattered on windows and floors, cracks in walls, oversensitive smoke alarms. On top of that the pool malfunctioned last month and flooded five floors down. Can...

This should be allowed as-of-right. Certain councillors (and East End NIMBYs) love to say "I'm not anti-development, it just has to be the right kind of development", yet the City makes small scale, sensitive proposals like this jump through the same hoops as the large condo towers that they...

Folks, can someone explain why the Adelaide bike lane was moved to the north side of the street? Does it have something to do with Ontario Line construction and the streetcar diversions? What used to be among the fastest, most convenient bike lanes in the city has become nearly useless. The new...

Some of these posts sound suspiciously like you are all trying to sell units in this building ;)

I think it is very shameful that our heritage preservation system is abused to protect shacks on Queen St E while this building of architectural and cultural significance (and *massive* amounts of embedded carbon) doesn't have any sort of designation. What a joke. Time to designate more...

Looks like it's time for that GO station at Spadina and Front.... paging @Reecemartin

Got a new vantage point NE of this project. It is absolutely flying…. looks to be 8-9 new floors since April 1. Excited to watch it go up.

Topped out… not so bad looking from the north.

I'm not sure why folks here are so convinced that Phase 2 is going to be the eastern extension. I would bet good money that OL is going west before it ever touches Sheppard. Consider who is calling the shots at Queens Park right now and where his riding/house is.... Also consider the plans for...

Even if the architecture pans out to be 50% of what is in these renders... this might be Toronto's best master-planned community. The views from the amenity spaces on that skybridge.... 🥴🥴🥴

The façades have been disassembled and put into storage to be used once the new TOC buildings are constructed.
