it's interesting unless it is a modern, modernist box, forum member jump to criticize buildings that bring back masonry, classic design and a nice sense of scale and materials. I will reserve judgement until the building is built on whether real stone or precast is used. this building is not...

Just came back from a walk in the area and 3/4 of the trees are completely dead from Church to Yonge... i am really hoping they are being replaced. Does one know who to contact to ensure that it gets done. How embarrassing!

reliable source overheard rumour today that Bazis is having difficulty getting financing secure given market turbulence and project may be on hold. Until then, surface parking lot. Anyone else hear this?

on both towers there is a non-cladded wall - visible on South tower on last pic. Is this going to be eventually clad or is this part of the design.. looks very unfinished!

3D How can we assist you as a forum to lobby, educate, share this proposal with as many (CITY, owner of land, media) and put UT name behind it? Any ideas anyone?

lets speak to it in relation to this project..and keep it in this thread... If you look at traffic patterns on this site, whenever this subject arises and gets moved to Forum issues, it dies a quick death. It is not a heavily frequented section. Would be nice to see level of support by forummers...

Ive posted a number of items for consideration on role that the UT forumers can play in its influencing capacity as a X number member strong community engaged and interested in the built form of this city. This is a spectacular potential contribution to the urban realm, and as such could...

by putting the topic in this thread has essentially killed all discussion, as this section is by far one of least accessed sections. Possible to move it to more visible thread?

RUnning an idea past UT forumers: REcently saw a marketing advertorial in international architecture magazine extolling the virtues of a number of Archi firms doing tremendous work in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It generated an idea that could have a very influential impact on the development...
