I beleive that was just an observation, and not a complaint by any stretch.

That's one of the reasons the city is getting inferior design and subpar materials. Too many buyers, not enough supply. There is no incentive to provide nicer builds. It's going to sell, no matter what you put up.

👍 More please.

Nothing like another big hole in the ground to get everyone excited. The outcome of this one is still in question though.

Developments tend to sell at a fairly quick pace regardless of design. Location and price are more likely to affect sales than better quality materials and world renown architects. There are exceptions of course. The One for example. There are a limited number of people willing and able to shell...

I'll give you that. It is more interesting than most. It wouldn't take much to tone down the busy visual features, and be left with a new build much nicer than a green glass box.

That can't be Parking? Easy to go in, a bit of a challenge to get out, considering the sight lines to the street. There is some sort of optical illusion from this vantage point.

Looks fine for an industrial park, but Yonge St., yes it's a hot mess, and that's being generous.

Mmm good. It's that time of year.

Finally found the second one. A lot more than 5 minutes. Very subtle indeed. I passed over that spot a few dozen times.

Style and class. compared to it's neighbours down the street.

Fall is the best time to plant trees. The root system will continue to grow, as long as the ground is not frozen. The trees are not in the growing mode above ground, so they concentrate on the root system without stressing the tree as much.

I see a lot of photos with PCL logos in them. I guess the PCL police are on vacation, or have given up their fruitless endeavour.

Maybe, just maybe, this is a preliminary design which will evolve over the next few months. It's not as slick as Cresfords, but there is still time to refine the exterior. It does appear though that ceiling heights will be shorter. 8' ceilings seem so confining, i can't imagine that happening.

What are the odds this gets approved for 75 & 78. Ask for this height, settle for 60 & 65, applicant is happy for the height increase, and the city is happy to get the reduction in height. Not an unusual scenario over the years.

No green glass, nice.

Who's the rebar supplier for this site? I think some stock in the company is in order.

I don't believe they have their height increase approved yet, so that 200 and something tallest building is still pending.

Much nicer🤣

I know they can only make recommendations, and they have no control in the end on what is eventually erected, but there should have been some response to this abysmal outcome. This is on one of the cities main thoroughfares, and this is the best it can be? I don't think so . There are...
