LOL on ladyscraper's comment...but...sigh... Amsterdam Brewery is awesome. Its convenience is amazing; they open late until 11pm and I live a block away from it. They also hold the summer outdoor movie nights. Sad to see this go.

DAMN...!!! They do make for great bollards though.

Here's info from today's G&M: "With Tuesday’s launch, Bixi began stocking bike stations from Jarvis Street to Kensington Market and from Bloor Street to Lake Ontario. Within two weeks, it will have 1,000 bikes spread across 1,500 docking points at 80 stations."...

3 bedroom condos are great for urban families to add to the growing demographics but these sizes are a total joke. What Clewes says below is very true in terms of urbanism but, man, 303 sq.ft. studios is pushing the threshold. Sigh... The object, of course, is to make living small not only...

Also, this critical mass on the downtown road system will put pressure on the politicians to address road safety and bike lanes. They'll also realize tourists will enjoy this type of activity by touring the city. It'll definitely boost our tourism appeal.

Yea! Finally. There are so many good things to say about Bixi. The Queens Quay/York shot reminds me so much of Amsterdam's typical streetscapes...oh, how I reminisce. The first time I tried a Bixi bike was 2 years ago back in Montreal, I too finally had the chance to see Habitat 67 and the...

I was commenting more on what the building typology offers to the urban fabric, diversity of uses and users but less so on the architectural language. It’s great to see a project like this along with TIFF, Paintbox, and Studio integrate community uses (film, cultural hub...

It's great to see the reurbanization of this district with these types of uses. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this condo may have 3 bedroom units which is great for the family with kids demographic. The continuous balconies are a great addition too.

Two thumbs up! You'll also get that nice forested look too from Prince Arthur Ave.

Ha...ditto about the haters, way too many in this and other forums. The neighbourhood is still evolving. Once Fort York Blvd is finally extended into the west, the new pedestrian bridge installed, the Loblaws bldg (with other mixed office use) is revitalized, library opened and the other...

It's a great attempt to connect the two sides but the bridge is quite boring, the curvy perforated sheet metal looks like an after thought add-on on a square rigid frame. The design would have been better if the bridge wasn't straight but perhaps with a slight meander to give a bit more fluidity.
