A BlogTO article that actually has substance: https://www.blogto.com/real-estate-toronto/2024/07/292-dundas-street-west-toronto/ While I appreciate brutalism, this podium is thoughtless and grossly out of context to its surroundings. Will the concrete be painted as per the renderings? The...

I actually love the folded canopies. It provides some shade and privacy from the neighbouring balconies, and creates an interesting animated design element which most condo buildings lack here. Henriquez designed a building in Vancouver that has this feature on the entire two sides of the...

BIG designed a similar building (in Stockholm) but clad in wood. I know with our climate and building codes this would not fly here, but it looks really nice. (photos courtesy of Dezeen)

Westbank‘s philosophy is about uncompromising design and quality if you look at their other developments. They work with acclaimed architects and designers, and their developments are high design and luxury with prices to match. This what their purchasers are expecting and is what they are known...

From today:

It’s a very wide building with a courtyard, so there’s lots of area of cladding to install. Also, the facades have a lot of articulation (especially facing King Street), so it’s not your typical glass tower with the walls that goes straight up which makes for a pretty straight forward installation.

Don’t worry he has many homes, so he won’t be homeless, lol!

A notice to purchasers a few weeks ago says that completion is anticipated for September of 2025.

It’s like a vaguely PoMo appendage to the building next door. It’s weird, but like others, I’m oddly intrigued about it. I don’t really like it but I don’t really hate it either.

I didn’t realize how shallow the faceted panels are! There seems to be a ton of missing panels to be installed, especially at the corner balconies, and a lot of incorrectly installed ones as well.

It’s an excellent hardware store and longtime neighbourhood fixture here. The staff is awesome. There’s another store on the second floor which sells the best selection of safety shoes in the city. I bought pair of steel-toed Blundstones last year there.

That railing is unfortunate. Portland is a street used by a lot of pedestrians getting to and from Queen Street, the language school nextdoor, and the nearby Loblaws/Winners. I understand there is a grade difference or change at that laneway but the sidewalk could easily be sloped to accommodate...

yesterday morning from the dog park at St. Andrew’s Playground:

PDIs are starting this week and the interim occupancy is starting the first week of May. Much of the common elements are still unfinished. From what I heard, the reason why work has been going on at such a snail’s pace is because of all of the cost overruns the builder had to hire a relatively...

Omg, that photo almost gave me an instant heart attack! For a moment I thought that awful minty green spandrel privacy fence on the top of that penthouse terrace was part of the building!😳🤣

The vegetation is an integral of the building design and will be built. Unlike some of the many residential towers that feature landscaped balcony and terraces, which many have failed or have maintenance issues, the design team on this project (landscape architects, engineers, etc., along with...

Why would you think the builder is going to default? Madison Group is a large company with many projects going on in the gta, including a recently announced huge development on Eglinton with renowned international firm, Rafael Viñoly Architects.

Wow, a cheap knockoff of 1BE oddly perched on a 1980s generic office building. At least it doesn’t look like a grouping of diseased 1BE buildings they did in Vaughan. It’s 65-storeys too tall! It’s like they are turning St. James Park into Central Park. Checking out Arcadis’ website and it’s...

So it’s not included even if it has usable/habitable interior space, as seen on the elevations? Interesting.

So the amenity space on the 13th floor is not part of the floor count?
