Anyone receiving invites from me for such an event should, with good cause, approach with caution. 42

Well, we have big news about this site on our front page!! New database file attached atop this page too. 42

We have just put up a pair of new stories about the OpenROM renovations on our front page. One focuses on the details of the changes, while the other focuses on Siamak Hariri's vision for the work. A bonus here that's not in either story is this photo I got of the outline on the floor of the...

We were originally in the Mary Wiens piece on Metro Morning yesterday too… until an editor got a hold of it and trimmed it for time. Bloody editors! 42

I'm with the fire departments that want floor-skipping banned. Meanwhile, I'll say that most developers doing the skipping here aren't doing it for total floor count braggadocio, but their concern that units won't sell as well on floors with those death-linked East Asian language homophones...

There's really quite a lot of exasperation to go around… …but yes, the spelling 'storey' and 'storeys' is something that I'd love to see more consistency in, just to help the reader with a little disambiguation (thank you Wikipedia for popularizing that word!). @Rascacielo has it right too —...

The leaf motif WILL BE lit at night. The mechanical penthouses still have quite a ways to go before you see their final effect as well. 42

Thank you, thank you very much! I'm here all week, folks. Covid happened to that... I wonder if convention and trade show business has entirely bounced back yet, or if it's still lagging somewhat (probably), and to what degree? 42

This one will depending entirely upon how well the banding obscures that dreary window wall behind it, and the no-frills concrete on the sides (that interrupted third floor pour of the east wall? yeesh!!!). This might end up looking fine at night if not in the day with a well chosen banding (I...

There was talk of expanding it as part of the Convention Centre expansion, last time they were talking about that several years ago now: one of the Convention Centre expansion concepts was to bridge over rail corridor, and continue over and connect up with Ripley's Aquarium, which would have...

So, 10 years after the major overhaul was going to be needed owing to apocryphal stories of the building being too heavy I suppose… the big news is that the Convention Center IS STILL NOT SINKING! One more tidbit to add to my earlier cynicism regarding that report, I've since learned that in...

Yup, Etobicoke-York Community Council along with all department offices in the current Burnhamthorpe and 427 site will move to the new site, and then that site will be sold off. 42

So that, it turns out, is a CDK 100-16 Luffing Jib Derrick built by Terex Corporation of Connecticut... but also still considered a tower crane, so we will leave this is as having a crane while it's there for the next few months. 42

Front page story here, where we mention that there is one elevator for every 179 suites in this 536-suite proposal. If one elevator is move-in service, that's one elevator for every 268 suites. If some overgrown kid at the same time plays with the buttons, that's one elevator for every 536...

Those photos were not by Jack, they were courtesy of Waterfront Toronto, as per the credit in the article. 42

We've got a front page story up now too, where we asked them about PATH improvements... …and it seems that they're still finding it difficult to make a magnanimous gesture towards PATH users. Meanwhile, we have now added a database file, linked at the top of this page, where you'll find the...

The problem apparently is the awkward internal layout that restauranteurs have found unworkable. That, though, provides no excuse to the wine club for the terrible ground level treatment. 42
