Thanks for the data, and I largely agree, but to be clear, I never said they should get a "bigger say", just that they should be considered. Don't forget that the wealthy hold most of their assets in their corporations which are taxed less, but is reinvested in their companies to provide jobs...

We can build more than one thing at a time. Using your logic, we would have no infrastructure in less populate parts of the province.

I agree that that a lot of cities, including our own, have removed elevated highway infrastructure, but we are talking about tunnels. I think tunnelling the 400 heading downtown to connect with the Gardiner would go a long way to improving congestion on the 427, Gardiner and DVP, not to mention...

Cottage users pay taxes like everyone else (probably more) so why shouldn't their concerns be taken into account when allocating capital to highway infrastructure. Not to mention the inconvenience to locals when cottage country traffic jams overflow into their communities.

I think the bright white cladding and dark windows will add a little texture to this area.

I do love setbacks in a building! This is one of my faves.

Not sure I agree, the Ontario line is being tunneled through pretty competent bedrock (Georgian Bay Formation Shale). I would assume you could do the same for Alto. Might be a little deep, but workable.

If it is that much of a loss you might want to threaten to walk from the deposit. I know they can come after you but you may be able to negotiate a bit better deal.

Looking at that floorpan, these look like investor oriented units. If that is the case, there may be a lot purchasers wishing this one was cancelled and their deposits returned in this market.

Kotsy, that first shot with Forma juxtapositioned with Roy Thompson Hal is stunning. This thing looks amazing in the snow, definitely a winter vibe building.

Union or bust 😎 I mean come on, why are we even debating this. I know it may mean more cost in possibly having to tunnel, but this is a generational project, let's do it right. This comment is coming from a fiscal conservative btw.

I'm a sucker for clean minimalist buildings without messy balconies. Good addition to the city.

Making its presence known from a distance.

Thanks for posting! I am very excited about this, a great opportunity for the city. I just hope they don't study it to death with no action, but you know our governments.......... Who'd of thought that it might be a park that ensures the Gardiner never gets torn down (it may become a...

looks a lot better in these shots than I have seen so far.
