Hmmmmm ... leaves aren't so bad in the end. Nowhere near as great as they could have been, but turning out better than expected from early photos.

Still a bit busy looking, but starting to work for me ...

Is it? Why so? I've only been watching it here and there, but seems true to renders, well built, not far off the timeline, and had to accomplish all that through lockdowns.

Hmmmmmm ... Feel like going with a British racing green or another dark accent color for the currently painted yellow trim on the heritage building might have worked better. The yellow feels a bit off there ... will need to see it in person.

This. I feel like the Toronto core needs to see many streets converted into one ways. There is an argument from retail I know, that one way streets are not friendly, but I think those days are in the past and there are great ways to do this that are urban and retail friendly. It's like...

I live close by and am hoping we get the sidewalks back sooner. Certainly looks like it’s the plan .. fingers crossed!

I agree. I mean, boil it down to what it is. We all knew the name was changing. The new name seems fine and fully in the spirit of the reason for us changing the name in the first place. So what's up with the resignations? Egos? Hurt they weren't included. Wanted 10 more meetings? The...

Wow! That was fast. It'll also be interesting to see how this new building fits into the area. I walk past the building regularly, and it is both a great neighborhood and a very challenged one at times, specifically at this intersection.

I was at the McD's beside it the other day and noticed this too. The pictures don't do the quality issues justice. In pics, it actually looks passable, except for extreme examples. In person, you can really see how cheap everything is. It's the worst I've personally seen and I have a hard...

Very much like this podium and how it meets the street =)

Didn't that recent zoning change to allow larger buildings, apply to all areas of the city? I don't know much about it, but the impression I got was that low rise multi-unit buildings could now be integrated into any neighbourhood, or do I have that wrong?

Wonder when the crane comes down on this one ... feels like it must be pretty imminent.

You've got my vote!

What are those things on the balcony ceilings? Little heaters?

By that logic, any dedicated venue is nothing but a gimmick. Do NFL players 'really' need anything more than a large field with grass? Nope, everything beyond grass and a ball is 'desire' ... or part of their gimmick per you. The same would be true of a venue like this. Sure, they could use...

I have always been curious about this too. Here is what I found: This renovation came with plans to have a green roof installed, reducing the urban heat island effect and stormwater runoff; however, with the project being almost eight years behind and multiple times over budget, along with the...

Not sure it's fair to call this a trojan horse. e-Sports is pretty huge globally, and still growing. Just google e-Sports tournaments in S.Korea where they fill football stadiums with it. We aren't quite at that point, but there is absolutely the potential to build dedicated venues for...

Anyone have any idea what will happen to the buildings at the corner of Yonge and Wellesley? Do we think another project would ever go in there and renew them? Or are they pretty much orphaned to be what they are now?

It's too bad that almost every post in UT these days seems to begin with some slag about Toronto or Toronto architecture. It is reminiscent of more juvenile gaming message boards, and is unfortuate since these forums used to be much more about actual building discussion ... both the pros and the...

Great shot and thanks AA!
