Can't be a disappointment if you don't get your hopes up in the first place!

Anything by G+C looks like exactly that. I'm truly surprised they still get as much business as they do - it's a damn shame.

It's easy when you don't care, or if your only motivation is capital maximization. Look generally at who hires them. It's a real rogues gallery of Toronto development CHUDs.

Broccolini to develop its first Toronto condo tower

The Graziani / Corazza Architects Inc.-designed River & Fifth will be a 37-storey building with approximately 550 condominium units at 5 Defries St.
The company has also acquired another nearby property on River Street which is going through the approvals process. Broccolini hopes to launch sales for that building, which he said will have a similar height and scale but likely a different design, next year.

There is a 'defect' in the City's rules that allows developers to do what amounts to excavation before getting permission to build by calling it "soil remediation'. Normally you cannot get an 'excavation permit' without a building permit. It has become very common and COULD lead to a situation where site is 'excavated" (remediated) but then nothing happens as plans for building (or $$) fall through.
