Offensive to who? You? Many (myself included) enjoy street walls. The city place towers directly to the south of this lot are much more offensive with their tiny podiums that do a lot less good for the street than this tower's massive base. As for the parking lot to the north. I don't think...

Hanlansboy, sentinel: +1 *1000000

The crane has been up since April, and they haven't reached ground level yet?? :S

+1. I'm surprised that I actually agree with Urban Shocker for once... I truly hope that the OMB doesn't lose it's power in Toronto. As long as we have this kind of NIMBYism, we need the OMB.

I don't think that it looks as bad as people make it out to be. Sure, the spandrel colour choice isn't all that great, but the shape of the tower is really attractive/sleek in my opinion.

They must be so proud of themselves now. Getting in the way of change and just being plain annoying. I really hope that the developer goes to the OMB and gets an approval for 100s.

You got it wrong again. Sorry, I had to :P It's iNNsertnamehere, not iNsertnamehere ahaha As for the topic at hand; innsertnamehere, I couldn't agree with you more!

+1. Especially considering that people atually want to live downtown these days!

This is a prime example of why heritage restoration in Toronto is not an area of concern for me. If Toronto was a bigger city during the 20s-60s, things would've been different. However, the reality is that this building is probably one of the best heritage structures in Toronto, and it is only...

Sounds absolutely lovely. These people seriously need to grow up, for lack of a better term...

They've nailed it with this building. The overall shape and materials give off a sharp, modern look. Fantastic :)

Is the taller (67s) tower going to be thinner than the shorter (57s) tower?? From this pic, the tower that's closer to topping off (which will be the shorter tower, as I understand) looks like it has a considerably larger floorplate.

No need to apologize. Everyone appreciates all the great pics you've been posting. I definitely agree with you comment as well. sMTer, thanks for the awesome pics today! They are very much appreciated :)

Everyone has their opinion. I agree though, I love how it looks. It's an instant classic, IMO :)

Casa is so ugly :( aA should be banned from designing anything in Toronto after Casa and Market Wharf...

Clearly, you are the one that doesn't know her. KWT is just as urbandreamer described; an upstart politician trying to take credit for everything. She's overpaid and has made seriously questionable decisions after accepting projects after "meeting" with the developer when she had initially...

Exactly! Why not even push for stricter regulations on podium retail development, and building aesthetics (ex. facade materials) instead of banning tall buildings? Maybe these city councillors for downtown wards (esp. Kristyn Wong-Tam need to head back to the suburbs. Some of us have actually...

This is absolutely ridiculous. Why is this city allowed to make such drastic decisions without any serious public input? (no, small meetings at a local library/church don't count since 99.9% of people had no idea they even took place). I'm sure that a lot of people would not agree with these...

This substation will likely be dismantled once the new one at the roundhouse is built.

+1. It seems these days, even if a patch of grass needs to be removed to make way for development, people complain.
