    TTC Headquarters Redevelopment 1900 Yonge (City of Toronto, ?s, ?)

    While it's beyond the scope of this redevelopment exercise, I wonder if the city has looked at options for developing over the tracks south of the Beltline bridge that face onto Mt Pleasant Cemetery? Given the width of the right of way there, they could cut Yonge Street down to 2 lanes and...

    Toronto 931 Yonge | 106m | 33s | CreateTO | Zeidler

    Why aren’t the looking at extending the new building at 931 Yonge over the tracks at the rear of the site?

    Dufferin Street railway bridge repairs/closure (City of Toronto, near CNE)

    Thanks for the thoughtful response. I was thinking that you would eliminate the LRT tracks north of the Gardiner and have both east west tracks south of the Gardiner connecting to the Dufferin Loop and or continuing further west. Even applying the same treatment as the Strachan crossing would go...

    Dufferin Street railway bridge repairs/closure (City of Toronto, near CNE)

    In the spirit of better connecting Exhibition Place with Liberty Village, I think Metrolinx is missing a big opportunity with the Ontario Line. If they lowered the grade of all the tracks (and the new OL line) between Dufferin and Strachan (in the same manner the tracks to the north of Liberty...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    It's too bad Metrolinx isn't looking at lowering the rail corridor (like they did for the Strachan level crossing on the rail corridor to the north) between Dufferin and Strachan for Exhibition Station. To avoid disruption during construction, they could shift the corridor slightly to the...

    Or maybe they straighten Bremner and build the stadium on the south side of the street (over the parking lot and pumping station) and build the retail, residential, and office on the north side

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    I'm not sure how up to date or accurate the information is, but the website for The One lists all of the sold and available suites. A few weeks ago I went through all of the floors and recorded the data. As of April 16, the total number of units sold was 265 out of 416, which is 63.7% sold...

    Toronto Boutique Condos | 106.37m | 35s | Urban Capital | ZAS Architects

    It's likely a building code issue, not an error. Since the window wall unit is sitting on brick, and not on the floor as it is on other floors, it creates a step in front of the juliet balcony. Building code would require the railing be a specified height above the step, not from the floor...

    1 Bloor East, DEAD AND BURIED (Bazis, -2s, Varacalli)

    It could just be a staging area for material for Crystal Blu
