The point is that public art space for local artists and enthusiasts has become less of a priority in Toronto. A competitive city is the creative city and as a creative city, the arts need to be nurtured. It was always the intention for the city to put up the money to build Artscape so I'm...

The city backed-out of it's "Artscape" space (original podium) due to a lack of funds. I don't know much about this space other than it would have been space for Toronto to "celebrate the arts". Now they're spending $42 million on Nathan Phillips Square.

How did you get in the site?

Anybody have insight on who has been or who might be awarded this parcel? It's strange because WT hasn't been very public with this parcel of land. Last I recall, developers presented their plans for Bayside, but that was back in the winter months. Any news on this?

Where did you get this information?

You know what Damien? I'm really sick and tired of my fellow neighbours, fellow neighbours like you. You all talk about things you know nothing about. You complain but you're not involved. Were you at the meeting? If you were, you would know that not enough residents were present in order to...

Yes because UT is a reliable source of information on London on the Esplanade and Cityzen, right?

The great thing about fact is that it makes personal opinion irrelevant...get your facts straight.

Do some research, this is one of the best amenities facilities in Toronto and the GTA.

Before making these accusations, why don't you tell the forum why your opinion should be valued?

There are 3 external factors to the success of East Bayfront and trust me, the city has, and will continue to address them: 1. Removal of the Gardiner expressway from DVP to Jarvis - the environmental assessment has been expedited due to the reality of East Bayfront. The Gardiner is ugly...

Wrong, I live in the building.

Oh no, maybe they should evacuate the building . . . . . Come on yyz, do you really think there is NO heating? I doubt there's a problem with the boiler, brand new systems need a bit of a "break-in" period. There's heat, but it may not be the 90 degrees everyone wants.

irrelevant...the architects have nothing to do with property management.

Hey Mike in TO! Haven't been here long but, by browsing around different threads, it seems like you're the one with information on everything about anything. I saw something interesting in this post. Menkes/AEW and Hines were originally two separate groups on the shortlist of bidders for the...

Hmmm... that limestone cladding was very worn making the building look old and weathered. I wouldn't call this "rape" or "molestation". "Face-lift" would do the trick, or even "tasteful botox" for those plastic surgery enthusiasts. The Libeskind design calls for a contemporary feel to this older...

Thanks for the update!

Very interesting design! Unique construction with balconies working up the sides of the building on a diagonal pattern to create their "staircase" effect. It looks like a design that will ease the downtown core into the waterfront as it is a little easier on the eyes than Corus Quay and how...

Bayside Short-List 1. Cadillac Fairview/Monarch/Fram/Albanese (USA) 2. Hines (USA) 3. Menkes/AEW (USA) 4. Cityzen/Walker (Australia) This is information from a PDF file I downloaded on www.waterfronttoronto.ca. It is a press release dated June 19, 2008. It also lists the architects and...

If anyone has read the RFP (Request for Proposals) document, you'll see that Waterfront Toronto has very specific demands for East Bayfront:Bayside. This will be a public live/work/shop/play complex. Cityzen did a great job with Pier 27 in that it is a private development so their spatial...
