I hope that only means from this conversation. Interesting times to come.

You desrve credit for getting through 10 pages of Mayor Ford posts, let alone 50.

somebuddy needs a nap.

Rejecting this project outright will send a message no one on UT will like. You might be surprised how far it will reach. You can welcome mediocraty as a guest for dinner when that happens.

I agree. The proverbial horse has been beat to death many times over.

I concur.

This was always an bigger ambition than Toronto is capable of. Raise your hands if you ever thought this would be built in old conservative T.O. I'm an old Torontonian for decades, and his is way to big for the planners to handle. It's not going to happen in its current form. No way. Ghery...

Maybe the crane ooperator was told to stop the lift and the guy riding it was told to get off and leave the site for being an idiot. Can you imagine an inspector witnessing that, and the repercussions.

I hope there is a direction from the city soon regarding their feelings on this project so this thread can get back on topic. I may be alone on this, but we are way off topic.

I agree. If these towers are told to be chopped by 30 stories, i would hope Mirvish & Gehry tell them to blow smoke, we'll take them to a city that wants them. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem. Toronto would then be looked upon in awe for all the wrong reasons.

Well we can see where this is heading.

Is there any idea as to when proceedings start on acceptance or rejection of this project. By Oct. it will be a year since the initial proposal.

He kinda left himself open with that statement, but being as genteel as we all are, well never mind.

The newer design as reported by Hume in the Star, indicates the planning dept. wants these towers to be cut by at least 30 stories. We knew there would be some demands, but that is a bit much...

More buildings like this and Telus etc. will thankfully make the boring green glass boxes fade away. As long as that fad isn't resurrected. The future construction south of the tracks will also hide some of it.

A nice change from some of that other stuff in the same area.

No big deal. I assumed you meant it to be more on the facetious side, being this has been going up at a record pace.Now U condos deserves some derision.

The sarcasm is sooooo obvious....

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Rain will permanently damage the interior in short order if there is no protection.
