    Toronto Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    Just when you thought the bird issue was dead: http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1177093--songbird-superhighway-runs-through-toronto-as-50-million-will-fly-over-in-spring-migration?bn=1 Their en masse arrival is also worrisome as more birds are likely to smash into windows — not just the...

    Toronto Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    Check out FLAP's website: http://www.flap.org/index.php According to their research, most bird collisions occur during the day when birds naturally migrate - especially in the spring and fall. The windows mimic the sky, disorientating the birds. It's estimated that nearly 1 billion birds die...

    Toronto Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    I don't think there are any regulations under FLAP, as that programme monitors the problem. According to this article (http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1156281--building-draws-birds-to-their-death-trial-told ): "From 2000 to 2010, the Fatal Light Awareness Program (FLAP) reported more than...

    Toronto Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    yeah, cool glass but think of the damage it'll do to our migrating bird species. Very disappointed that when you need the city's bureaucracy to intervene they don't, yet when you don't, they do.

    Toronto East 3220 Condos | 63.4m | 18s | Quadcam | Burka

    This site falls just within the Sheppard East 'Avenue' Study, which was approved as an official amendment to the City of Toronto plan sometime last year. This means that hopefully the build will adhere to the avenue vision for this area. Website: http://www.toronto.ca/planning/sheppard_east.htm

    Bold Towns (837 Broadview n of Danforth, Buildcrest, 3s, Richard Wengle) COMPLETE

    My guess would be half a block north of Broadview Espresso on the East side, approximately 840 Broadview Avenue. There is a parking lot with a small building next to the Rosicrucian building that looks ripe for development...

    Celebration (Malibu) - Real Estate -

    Actually, while the Bridlewood Mall itself leaves a lot to be desired, the area in the immediate area is very well established, has some great housing stock, and good community dimensions. What with the impending development of Sheppard East one (big) block to the south, this neighbourhood might...

    Toronto 3C Waterfront | ?m | ?s | 3C Lakeshore | Foster + Partners

    Norman Foster should watch this video before he designs anything - not that he needs to: http://www.ted.com/talks/thomas_heatherwick.html

    Toronto 3C Waterfront | ?m | ?s | 3C Lakeshore | Foster + Partners

    This is the best news to come out of Toronto, aside from Bixi, since well before the past two elections. Why don't more administrative agencies recognize the economic viability of outstanding design and sustainable integration? Can't wait for the plans!

    Toronto TeaHouse 501 Yonge Condominiums | 170.98m | 52s | Lanterra | a—A

    Adding to the commentary on pedestrian psychology, what 501 Yonge really represents is an opportunity to do something in line with the philosophy of interactive and soulful buildings - do yourself a favour and watch this 10 minute talk by TED: http://www.ted.com/talks/thomas_heatherwick.html

    Toronto 8 Chichester Place | ?m | 20s | Remington Group | BDP Quadrangle

    The development that you can't foresee is already happening. However, it's happening in a sprawling uncontrolled way. This is about priorities, something we heard a lot about in last night's leaders debate. Instead of allowing for unintelligent and uncontrolled development, plans have been...

    Toronto 8 Chichester Place | ?m | 20s | Remington Group | BDP Quadrangle

    I would call 17 storeys great density - point towers don't build good avenues. On that note... At the next intersection to the East (Warden and Sheppard), official recommendations have been made by a consultancy and a neighborhood working group about how to implement the 'City of Toronto...

    Toronto 8 Chichester Place | ?m | 20s | Remington Group | BDP Quadrangle

    Do you mean the South-East corner? If so, then I believe the plans are to put up a new, 1 story Shoppers Drug Mart. In either case, they own that piece of land I believe. Last I heard, they were attempting to incorporate the Johnny's Burger building into the new property....
