    Toronto Ryerson's Mattamy Athletics Centre + Loblaws at the Gardens | ?m | ?s | Ryerson University | Turner Fleischer

    I would love to have a tour of the whole MLG/Ryerson Sports complex now that it is complete. Does anyone know if that is possible?

    Toronto Ryerson's Mattamy Athletics Centre + Loblaws at the Gardens | ?m | ?s | Ryerson University | Turner Fleischer

    The hypocrisy of "Big Business" never ceases to amaze me: MLSE dictates who can compete with them, yet would balk and scream to the highest court if anyone did that to them. For MLSE to even have a say what can go on here is outrageous. The whole point of Capitalism is an open market with fair...

    Oooops, My Bad. I should always make it clear when I am altering reality. This is how Internet rumours get started. Next time I'll add a watermark which reads "Not Reality" diagonally across the picture. :cool:

    I must agree that the *tourmaline-coloured podium glass with mullion-free framing is preferential to the tower treatment. Perhaps once the balconies are clad, the effect will be somewhat mitigated. *referring to the very dark green cladding on the rear of the podium seen here: (Original...

    Perhaps he meant the design hasn't aged well... Like Bell-Bottom pants and Platform Shoes? Not the actual condition of the materials.

    I laughed at your comment sMT. I heard how it should have been read. It was the same verbal double-take I did when I read the negative view of CASA.

    That was just me and my sense of humour upon noticing that after two more floors at 10 feet, they went back to two more at 9 feet.

    *It is a term that implies his demeanor and behaviour, not his actual status. However, son of money is still nouveau to all us old-money folk who use the expression. ;)

    I just spent $99,000 dollars on a mattress... I don't want a local reporter crawling all over it and stankin' it up. Why would the Hazelton allow her to get on the bed? I hope that was another bed in another room, filling in for the expensive one. Love the Trump interiors. The man himself may...

    Until I can park my car like this, I am not buying a High-End Condo in Yorkville. I don't trust my Lambo to the likes of the riffraff trolling through Yorkville. (People like Caltrane!!! :p;) ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGBZSPuO7Jk

    There will have to be at least two. The first is at the Southern end of the Podium floors. To be the center of the tower it would have to be about here... (Original courtesy waterscapes-guy here )

    ^Very nice. So is this the front entrance for the Hotel and both Condos? Seems it may get a bit crowded trying to visit a friend if some large function were in progress.

    Regarding the possible height restrictions: The shortsightedness of restricting heights for sunlight will in the end be self defeating. With developers unable to build point towers to maximize land use, they will build shorter, squat buildings close together to achieve the same density. This...

    Well, it does seem suspicious that there has not been any official renders released of the 75 floor height and the flat roof. That increase was a while ago. The secrecy does imply they are hiding something. I'm hoping for 85 floors!

    Speaking of that... I remember the buildings that used to be there until the late 70's early 80's. If I recall correctly, they were torn down by a developer hoping to build a second phase to the College Park Apartments which were added to the Eatons at College Park renovation. Judging by the...

    Considering the base looks so different from the render, there's no wonder they doubted the fountain.

    No silly... He meant the numbers on the diagram on page 14. Not the words written in plain English! :rolleyes:
