    Toronto Sun Life Financial Tower & Harbour Plaza Residences | 236.51m | 67s | Menkes | Sweeny &Co

    thank god for these towers and their interesting balcony treatment. They add a much needed visual distinction from the flat glass surroundings. The view looks so much better with just a little diversity added.

    Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    I'm curious, when there are so many levels in the completed building, do they provide some ramps that allow cars to get down to the lower parking levels more quickly?

    Toronto Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Westbank | Henriquez Partners

    This past week they removed a building on the west side of Markham and they continue to excavate the basement and behind some of the buildings along Bloor.

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    Just read the report that AoD posted about the linear park proposed along the new Gardiner. I think it is misguided to think that people will dwell in this linear park along a very noisy and active highway (Lake Shore below, Gardiner above). The renderings (below) depict a lush place where...

    874 Bloor Street West (Old Stonehenge, 4s Studio JCI)

    It would be nice if they tried harder to get 5-7 floors here. La Bella Managua next door is a wonderful Nicaraguan restaurant -- very good Ceviche and Soup. This stretch is indeed on the rise -- lots of changes, and the hipster set has arrived. Would be nice to see more missing middle density...

    Toronto Waterfront Innovation Centre | 53.03m | 11s | Waterfront Toronto | Sweeny &Co

    This building is unimaginative, but so is the idea that these innovation centres are good use of public funds, and will likely seed cutting edge enterprises and economic dividends for Canada. Most of the Canadian publicly funded incubators/innovation centres I've seen are nepotism and...

    Yonge-Dundas Square/Sankofa Square (Brown + Storey Architects)

    this is a ridiculous waste of money. It will look worse than what it replaced and for what? I hope no public money went into this.

    Toronto Ontario Place | ?m | ?s | Infrastructure ON

    I agree with Torontovibe. It's always nice to have more parkland, but this lacks imagination. It's safe, conservative, won't cause anyone to lose an election, and probably is lower cost than more ambitious ideas. I think we need to bring the city closer to the lake in this area, build a...

    Building enclosed rooms on large balcony -- possible or not?

    yes, it would be lovely if Toronto condos offered window systems like this -- https://lumon.com/sites/default/files/resize/toronto_condo_balcony_with_retractable_glass_partly_open-750x595.jpg Condos in Toronto are generally stingy in the size and number of windows that open.

    Toronto Artists' Alley | 121.91m | 39s | Lanterra | Hariri Pontarini

    it's a beautifully rendered building, but that video really lays it on thick with the name dropping and manufactured excitement about going to New York and London to acquire art. Who's buying into that? I guess we have to trust them that they're going to do a great job, but I will wait for the...

    Toronto Rees Park Playground and Pavillion | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Portland has another great one -- Keller fountain park. Dangerous but hardly ever an accident. https://g.co/kgs/Tbn8Gp

    Toronto Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Westbank | Henriquez Partners

    Any idea how much a 2 bedroom apartment will rent for here? I signed up with the developer to hear about leasing. I'm guessing these apartments will rent for 2500 or more per month.

    Building enclosed rooms on large balcony -- possible or not?

    Hi Everyone, This isn't my unit, but I've noticed that the corner podium units on this building -- Yards at Fork York, 20 Bruyeres Mews -- have very large outdoor spaces. photo: https://photos.zolo.ca/th11-20-bruyeres-mews-toronto-C3480150-1.jpg?2016-07-16+05%3A15%3A07. Here is a corner...

    Toronto Litho. | 36.88m | 8s | RioCan Living | Turner Fleischer

    okay, we'll see. I'd love to see more rental. Also, how many units? It says 122 units in the database, but 210 units in the datasheet.

    Toronto The Carvalo on College | 21.94m | 7s | Clifton Blake | Studio JCI

    that's good to hear. I don't know if the neighbourhood is short of daycare facilities, but it is certainly short of family-sized rental and condos. Designated affordable units are good, but we also need places available to regular "middle-class" families making $50-120K who can't afford single...

    Toronto Litho. | 36.88m | 8s | RioCan Living | Turner Fleischer

    I'm confused by this comment and the database entry, because this development is indicated as 210 Condo units (not rental) in the project data sheet that Froggy linked to two pages back (post #36). see: Project Data Sheet Jul 27, 2017 Download Did something change?

    Toronto Totem Condos | 64m | 18s | Worsley Urban | RAW Design

    For units like this with large terraces, would they ever allow you to build a fully enclosed solarium or even second bedroom on part of the terrace? I think a lot of owners would gladly take the extra bedroom (or expanded living room) over such a large terrace.

    Toronto Waverley | 57.09m | 15s | Fitzrovia | Kirkor

    Any idea of the Silver Dollar room sign will be saved and make its way to the sign district near Yonge/Dundas Sq?
