    Toronto Galleria On The Park | 143.86m | 42s | Almadev | Hariri Pontarini

    Just wondering if you can elaborate? Also as a potential purchaser (and real estate newbie) I'm curious to understand what the significance of the difference in developer means. Thanks!

    Toronto 199 Church | 124.5m | 39s | CentreCourt | Arcadis

    Maybe brick on towers is the new thing? First the Selby, now this and I think the Artworks building in Regent park has some sort of brickwork treatment as well. Wonder what the execution will be like.

    Toronto Smart House | 82.6m | 25s | Urban Capital | a—A

    What a fun little building! BTW, does anyone know where I can find out which appliances and what kitchen cabinet manufacturer did the smart kitchens? It looks really nice and efficient and I would love to replicate something similar in a small space.

    Toronto Auto BLDG | 54.86m | 10s | Castlepoint Numa | a—A

    Well, it's not so much the lack of square footage, but the poor use of it and the lack of programming (is that what people call it?). The installations (at least from a month or two ago) were pretty lame. Sorry to be blunt (and perhaps apologies to the artists), but I'm sure that anyone coming...

    Toronto Auto BLDG | 54.86m | 10s | Castlepoint Numa | a—A

    I completely agree. I was so optimistic and excited for the new MOCA but it turned out to be such a severe let down. I can't put my finger on what it is, but the navigation of the space feels awkward, having to navigate each floor by elevator (yes there are stairs but they are tucked away and...

    Toronto Regent Park: Daniels Artworks Tower | 105.76m | 33s | Daniels | BDP Quadrangle

    Do you know if that is the application or it's already been approved? I wonder if there is any opportunity for neighbourhood residents to provide their input regarding this change.

    Toronto Regent Park: Daniels Artworks Tower | 105.76m | 33s | Daniels | BDP Quadrangle

    Oh no.. this is really unfortunate. I agree with you - this area of the city really needs another grocery store, and this would have been a great location. I wonder what the cause for the revision was? I suppose the decision is also somewhat final, or at least with little to no chance of being...

    Toronto Catalyst at 77 Wade | 43.72m | 7s | Seeker Labs | DIALOG

    This building looks great. I wish there were some daytime renderings though... it's tough to get a sense of what it looks like naturally, without perfectly and uniformly lit interiors at dusk. High hopes though.

    Toronto Regent Park: The Wyatt | 89m | 27s | Daniels | KPMB

    True, but the prices are definitely going up significantly with each project - the latest building at Artworks was selling for pretty close to $1000psf. But yes, i guess sadly that is still below the downtown average. But location is different, so... It'll be interesting to see what phase 2 of...

    Toronto Art Shoppe Condos | 98.75m | 28s | Freed | a—A

    Karl Lagerfeld has died, aged 85. Hopefully his vision for the lobby of this building stays intact. https://www.vogue.com/article/karl-lagerfeld-obituary

    Toronto Junction House | 40.23m | 9s | Slate | superkül

    Sorry, just to clarify - i don't mean that you 'must' have a hallway, but given that there is only one spot for the living room (as you pointed out), and that is also where the front door is, you're likely going to end up laying out your furniture as they're done in the floor plan. Nothing...

    Toronto Junction House | 40.23m | 9s | Slate | superkül

    They're the best value based on price per square foot, but there's a reason. The floor plans could be better. They're somewhat awkward in that you enter directly into the living area with no real entryway. It's kind of a waste of having a wider layout (than what is typical), given that you'll...

    Toronto Regent Park: Daniels Artworks Tower | 105.76m | 33s | Daniels | BDP Quadrangle

    Looking at the plans, it looks like there are smaller retail units on the ground level along Dundas, but the second level looks like a huge fully open space for one tenant (12542 sq ft), accessed via escalators. I wonder if that type of setup is intended for a grocery store? If so that would be...

    Vaughan CG Tower | 188.97m | 60s | Cortel Group | BDP Quadrangle

    In the example I gave, the desire to have X number of units per floor would not have changed the size, (and if you wanted to argue the shape) of the 531 sq ft unit. However, the internal layout design of that suite would be determined by the architects, I assume. In either case, whoever was...

    Vaughan CG Tower | 188.97m | 60s | Cortel Group | BDP Quadrangle

    Honestly, the architects should be embarrassed. It's not like there's a lack of space in Vaughan. And on top of that, to create such poorly usable spaces within the given floor plate is even worse. They really didn't think anything through. In the layout I posted (even if you could somehow get...

    Vaughan CG Tower | 188.97m | 60s | Cortel Group | BDP Quadrangle

    Wow, is this suggested furniture layout a joke?... Quite possibly the worst use of 531 sq ft I've ever seen so far.
