The rooftop outside amenity area -- for the residents - is dependent on the asymmetric mechanicals. The cabanas and the lounge area is enlarged by the placement of the mech box. These buildings aren't just for buildings fans to appreciate from afar... they are homes for the residents, and...
Does anyone know what is to happen to that concrete wall on the north side while the final phase awaits development? Hopefully it will be dressed up somehow.
Thanks Solaris. And good to know that it will be underground rather that above. Southern downtown has been starting to look like mid-west city with all of those bridges.
From the bus photos above, it looks like a PATH +15 wraps around the core and extends to Infinity... how is it going to link in to the PATH network? To the south - to Southcore, or to the east - to Maple Leaf Square? More bridges, or tunnels?
I did a Pearson run a few weeks ago, from my office downtown, at rush hour. I paid $26.00 for the airport shuttle bus, saving about $30 by not taking a limo. Would I pay $20-$30 for this train, knowing that it will be faster not get stuck in traffic on the Gardner or 427? You bet! Would I have...
These towers don't need mechanical boxes to cheapen them.... the apartment buildings across the street will do that just fine! It is too bad they can't be made invisible like in the rendering above. I hope I am wrong, but I think prospective buyers are going to have a tough time with the...
I think the east/west differences used to be wind-direction related.... no one wanted to be downwind from the dump/plants/ etc. So towns and cities developed with the non-smelly stuff on the west side, and the polluting industries on the east. Land was thus more expensive on the west side, and...
That is the Carnegie Hall Tower in NYC, rising 60 floors/231 meters. In person it is stunning, and for 10 years has been my favourite building. Wish we could get a version of this in TO.
While it is fun to see these two amazing towers progressing in the photos posted on this site, what a pain in the ass it is to have to read all the bitchy back and forth posts in between the "real" updates. Could all of you snipers please take some time off so that the rest of us don't have to...
