is that designed by steve holl?

too bad the bloor street beautification didn't include the stretch west of avenue road. it's a great streetscape but it can really use some trees.

dear god. it's tawdriness is breathtaking. this one may inspire a whole near category of pug awards.

striking! original! utterly ground-breaking!

$40 million for a new headquarters? that's peanuts. think of the new bloomberg, by ceasar pelli, or the nytimes building, by renzo piano. this suggests thomson-reuters/globe and mail doesn't value the importance of having a strong physical pressence. that said, compared to...

i don't see what all the excitement is about here. to my eyes it looks cheap, like any old suburban office tower, albeit taller.

be nice if they emphasized design, like the new tower for the nytimes, by renzo piano (i think). i like the way the neighborhood west of spadina is shaping up.

too bad they couldn't have extended Bloor Street beautification a bit further west. In the photo above the streetscape sure looks bleak.

i hope they improve the look of the ground floor. presently it's underwhelming. also, the image of the building seems larger than the site it will occupy allows. are they going to build atop more than just the mcdonalds?

This must be a record. I've never seen a building go up so fast. When they're done (next week?) they should send this crew over to the Charlie.

landscaping changes are coming to Front Street? Can you elaborate? I've read about landscaping for that cement triangle at University, but that's it.

those are different bike racks. maybe they'll grow on me. i like the rest of this project so much, these bike racks are a bit of a let down.

wow. it looks like for combined downtown/suburban office space, we're number 2 in north america for total inventory. behind nyc, but ahead of dc and chicago. way ahead of boston, philly, san francisco, and houston.

Does anyone know how many million square feet of office space there is in downtown Toronto? How do we stack up with other cities? Even compared to NYC, DC, Chicago and London we've added a lot of space in the last couple years. But my sense is our office market is still relatively small.

that was a nice music selection. what was the music for the last two videos? nice shots too.
