20-26 Lombard and 25 Richmond Street East Unless Great Gulf is only severing and acquiring part of the site, the lands should include the parking lot at the southeast corner of Richmond and Victoria, all the way east along Richmond to the electrical substation and south to but excluding the...

Connection between Filmport and Former Big Box Now Possible LRV Yard? Maybe someone has already pointed this out, but isn't it kind of coincidental that the City of Toronto bought into Filmport (controlled by Rose Corporation) and is now considering locating this new LRV yard on the...

Hotel I may be misremembering, but I used to work in one of the upper floors of Scotia Plaza in the mid-1990s, and I believe that for a while there was a hotel within the high rise component of the office tower, between the middle and the top. I think it was one or two floors, sort of an...

Some more details on the plans? Just received an emailed press release from Skyline that gives an overview of their purchase of Horseshoe Valley, but also has a tantalizing paragraph about the temperence site: "The company is now in the process of developing a visionary new project in the...

I have heard from someone involved in the negotiations that PriceWaterhouseCoopers has now been signed on as the anchor tenant for this development, so it looks like it will be the fourth office tower to go ahead in the downtown core.

SaxMan ads Has anyone seen the recent ads for Chicago in all the print media? The ones with the guy playing the saxaphone on the 33rd floor, on a ledge with only five feet between him and certain death? Surely that can't be safe! It strikes me as one of the funniest images I've seen in a...
