    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    The industry is built on a system of tax credits and federal Canadian Content regulations. As long as these exist, the film industry will continue to exist here. Oh and let's not forget their extensive lobbying power - that's the only reason this moronic idea is on the table at all. Toronto has...

    Toronto Aqualina at Bayside | 47.85m | 13s | Tridel | Arquitectonica

    Prize for creativity and imagination?

    Toronto Aquavista at Bayside | 46.94m | 13s | Tridel | Arquitectonica

    The scale of those buildings is quite intimidating. Really hope that they've planned for great retail/rec space at the ground level

    Toronto Pinnacle Lakeside | 158m | 49s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    This looks like it'd be better suited to the financial district than the Waterfront. I don't understand the obsession with insipid tall towers in this area. The footprint of this development is huge and the bare minimum space between the blocks. No new pedestrian walkways, no new greenspace...

    Toronto Daniels Waterfront - City of the Arts | 156.05m | 45s | Daniels | RAW Design

    ugh...the first two from the right are particularly horrid

    Toronto Pinnacle Lakeside | 158m | 49s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Where did this renders come from? Is there a report/presentation somewhere. I heard from an agent that the building launches sales in October 2017. Any credence to those rumours?

    Toronto Aqualina at Bayside | 47.85m | 13s | Tridel | Arquitectonica

    That's pretty harsh - have you been there? I may be in the minority but I feel that they've done a pretty good job of it, especially when you take the building in concert with Monde and the surrounding area. The balconies and glass evoke a continuation of the water (waves etc), and the...

    Toronto Daniels Waterfront - City of the Arts | 156.05m | 45s | Daniels | RAW Design

    If it's any comfort, this all looks a lot better in person

    Toronto Monde | 149.95m | 44s | Great Gulf | Moshe Safdie

    Wow, that is an incredible photo! Really puts the potential development scale of villiers island into perspective.

    Toronto Monde | 149.95m | 44s | Great Gulf | Moshe Safdie

    Still can't believe how much progress these guys have made with the building this year. Come Spring/Summer 2018 seems like Monde, Daniels and Aqualina will all be decently occupied.

    Toronto Daniels Waterfront - City of the Arts | 156.05m | 45s | Daniels | RAW Design

    Seems to fit in well with the area - there's a bit of a warehouse feel to the ground level. The red brick stands out nicely. Not too sure about the black brick

    Toronto Monde | 149.95m | 44s | Great Gulf | Moshe Safdie

    The podium from the south looking north looks like a pyramid, really loving the daily updates on this one.

    Toronto Pinnacle Lakeside | 158m | 49s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Really love the spacing and design. I wonder how much of it will be dedicated to retail/office use. Lots of great opportunities for introducing restaurants, recreational offerings, daycare spaces and retail to anchor the neighbourhood.

    Toronto Daniels Waterfront - City of the Arts | 156.05m | 45s | Daniels | RAW Design

    Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question - I was reviewing the East Bayfront Urban Design guidelines last night and it's clear that the development on the East Bayfront so far exceed the elevation guidelines provided in the document (pages 62 on)...

    Toronto Monde | 149.95m | 44s | Great Gulf | Moshe Safdie

    Went by the area yesterday - photos can't really capture how good it looks in person. They've done a great job with the cladding. Can't wait to see it when it's all lit and bustling next year

    Toronto Aqualina at Bayside | 47.85m | 13s | Tridel | Arquitectonica

    I've been down that area quite a bit and think that it looks fine. Looks even better with the Monde backdrop and will fit in nicely once the other Tridel properties are completed in the area. Is it moving or exciting design? Not really, but it's not as horrid as some people are making it out to be

    Toronto Daniels Waterfront - City of the Arts | 156.05m | 45s | Daniels | RAW Design

    I think you hit the nail on the head. I was a bit concerned about what 'cheapening' meant but just had the chance to watch the video on the project, and it all makes a lot of sense in terms of balancing the economics versus design. It is really unfortunate that Daniels didn't take the...

    Toronto Daniels Waterfront - City of the Arts | 156.05m | 45s | Daniels | RAW Design

    I bought here on account of Monde and RC3 being sold out. I love the neighbourhood and really wanted to anchor myself here. Am experiencing a bit of buyers remorse and reading this doesn't help. Will watch the video when I can - seems like a good insight into how the design of the project...

    Toronto Aquabella at Bayside | 50.9m | 14s | Tridel | 3XN

    This is really great! Do they have similar information for the other developments? e.g. Monde/Daniels?
