It's too easy to call it neglect comparing us to a much wealthier country with little to no population growth or Sydney which has the population growth but, is also part of a richer nation and a stable temperate climate. How many billions in public funds are being invested into housing? It's a...

thanks. not quite a two storey penthouse suite

what's the glass bump out usage?

The city has gone ahead and buried most traffic control signals wires over the last ten years. Hopefully, these are just temporary.

Conservatory Group doesn't release much info. One day you'll walk by and see construction. Your best bet is to go on Toronto's building application status website (google it) and look up the address for submitted construction permits. Just remembered the patriarch of this family owned company...

This is not being built with 11 foot ceiling heights as much as I want a residential tower built with 11 foot ceiling heights. It's needed to get to 400 metres. I would not read too much into the elevator ratio.

One mid 1980s late modernist tower is plenty. Four is too much. Vinoly died last year.

REITS are reliant on growth and distribution of profits. How can they survive this with tenant leases not being renewed and property values plummenting making commercial development sites like this unsellable?

A primary entrance is a main entrance with a lobby and elevators. CTBUH would not consider retail as a primary entrance. However, the primary residential entrance is just two doors to the left of this lowest door.. You have measured from the secondary podium office entrance.

Is symmetry that hard to do?

The units sizes are consistent with what I see in other recently completed developments (designed 5 to 8 years ago) presuming the 1200 square foot 2 bedrooms at $5000 a month come in a limited quantity

Same here on rental condominiums. Makes no sense. Developers started it and the public latched on (similar to exposed structural concrete walls and ceilings being an upgrade)

These prices are consistent with the rest of the downtown and much of Toronto for new build rental condos. There are redevelopment opportunities to build more large scale rental around and adjacent to the Annex. Aren't there a bunch of tall buildings proposed around Walmer. Prehaps Spadina too...

Almost impossible to build more? In Toronto? The 5 towers and over 800 units headlining this thread is it?

A Massey museum with a brew pub in the basement some of the asphalt looks like it belongs to the 2000 era townhomes.

The rents seem on point with the market for never lived in with what I've seen. Some are actually lower than market and others appear higher. Included amenities matter in defining rentals perhaps more than some extra square footage. Toronto is just an expensive city. The rest of Canada isn't...

Nothing. The Chinese developer is liquidating its Canadian assets.

Popcorn is probably worse than concrete. It's not sealed plaster. Spray it with water and it scrapes off easy. The very hard part is getting seamless drywall joints on the ceiling. I'm seldom seen orange peel walls in Canada. I dislike those more than popcorn ceilings. They apply quickly and...

As long as I can remember, job security and benefits were always better in the public sector. The sacrifice was lower wages. Full benefits are now non existence in the private sector and most of the wage growth is in the public sector. It's not an ideal economic situation for Canada. Several...

The CGI advertisement behind home plate is better than the faux stone panels. LOL Box seats right behind home plate is par for the course nowadays as is split faced stone. I find the CGI advertisement in Leaf broadcasts more distracting than the ones behind home plate even though they are less...
