Is the tiny house with the guy inside for sale? I'd like to forward an offer of $1.5 million before anyone snatches it up.

76-56=20 Where did I go wrong? Last mention of floor count that I saw was the walls for 56 were poured.

Approximately 20.

This is the most nonsensical comment I've ever seen on this forum. Doesn't warrant explanation.

Was this taken with a 1960s-vintage Kodak Brownie?

That was Mizrahi throwing himself off the top of his (shattered) dream tower.

That is bloody sad.

IMHO, 90% of the complexity has already been dealt with. From here on in, the only thing new will be the very top.

Beaver pelts.

Like I said, some extrapolation was done. 2014 stats - 400k + just from subway traffic. BTW, it says it is by far the busiest station. https://transittoronto.ca/subway/stations/001-yonge-university-spadina-subway/bloor-yonge.shtml

For what it's worth, I came across this partially extrapolated factoid: Roughly one million people cross the Yonge & Bloor intersection daily.

I've lived in Canada for 67 years, and have never heard of Portage & Main. People outside of Toronto (or Ontario, or Canada) don't have to know of Y & B for it to be Canada's best known. How many people outside of ANY country do you think can name an intersection from another country? Aside from...

Yonge & Bloor is, and probably will always be, Canada's most well-known intersection.

The vast majority of people will never know the pitfalls of this project. They will gaze upon its splendour, completely oblivious pf the issues that befell it. It is not the first time a project went into receivership, nor will it be the last. If I never read another word about its financials...

I'm not arguing about blame. Just sayin' IMO, both sides lose to some extent.

How can it be both inconsequential and require massive accommodating modifications? If it were inconsequential, Apple would have opened another store by now somewhere nearby.

This is a loss for both Mizrahi, and Apple. It's doubtful that Apple will find a venue as suitable as The One anytime soon. The loss to Mizrahi is obvious. However, we can't say how much potential lost business either enterprise will suffer.

I reckon he might prefer a grass sidewalk.

What exactly do you mean by "not hit that point"? This project was first estimated to cost $1 billion. It is currently at $1.6 billion. I'd bet my firstborn it won't come in under $2 billion.
