The government that did this is still an issue that needs to be fixed so it’s worth holding them accountable to their mistakes.

Can anyone who knows how to do renderings make some with the parking garage in it?

How incredible would it be if the city changed the zoning of these laneways near to mirvish Village to allow for some commercial uses and slightly taller buildings of four to five stories

There’s something so unnecessary - or unspecial about this therme group attraction. It has no cultural value, and it doesn’t seem particularly interesting or fun. To use such an important location for this is a huge mistake and it feels like selling out.

This building is so nearly perfect. It’s a shame they cheapened out and didn’t do the horizontal brise soleils. The building’s vertically is kind of awkward, and the proportions between the base portion and the top are kind of weirdly balanced as a result of these being missing. I hate saying...

European style density is denser, smaller lot sizes, and skinnier streets There are good and bad examples of soviet buildings and soviet planning. If you look at Nowa Huta in Krakow, for instance, or other examples from Russia, they aren't so bad, but IMO not what we should be aiming for...

I guess I’ll wait to see more than just these 3 photos but it seems like this is the typical inhuman recent Canadian/Toronto urbanism. It’s like a weird, modern, faux happy go lucky equivalent of old Soviet architecture and planning. They should develop this more like the humber area...

will the backs of the buildings on the park (the old houses) have shops or anything or will they just be blank? Also, The backs of the privately owned houses facing the laneway part of the park would be a good place for Toronto to pilot laneway apartment buildings like you can do in places in...

Hey guys the tricon development isn't for the foundry site. You guys will like what they're up to though.

https://henriquezpartners.com/intent-post/wood-blocks-to-unit-types/ here they show the massing studies. Does anyone know if west bank owns the other properties on the corner? They’ve done some massing ideas for them too. .

Anyone who was able to attend the DRP meeting today have any details/photos from the presentation of this project?

Can anyone who was at the meeting fill us in?

Can anyone who was at the meeting fill us in? In this video, the architect starts talking about the building at around 9 minutes and 15 seconds. It doesn't sound like the developer was ever interested in an innovative design, and the original design was just a bait and switch.
