based on my calculations the project is about 4-5 months behind now.

so this is what happens when an earthquake meets a 55th floor construction site with cranes. http://www.youtube.com/user/rotyag#p/u/17/XjFP3oPu3i4

ya and you caught up with the times. Telling someone to chill about something they wanna see is uncool. Its a forum for ideas, thoughts and discussion. Since when do you act as a regulator on what people can be excited about. If you dont agree thats your problem.

You may be right. 1% may be just for condos. This came from the REMAX condo newsletter that is sent out each month.

To me all that means is $$$$ being made and population growth. On a side note the vacancy rate in Toronto is 1% so even if all the units are being bought by investors, they are still being rented fast. Keep it up Toronto

Any super tower is welcome by me. Spread them out a little and create and sick sky line. A 100+ and one around 85-90.

she loves em. You can normally see me around with a husky following me all over downtown

This news is amazing. I am jumping for joy. It just means I get to upgrade AURA in about 10 years. :-)

"I think our tall towers should spread out, especially east of Yonge, where there are plenty of surface lots and lowrise buildings just waiting to be redeveloped into something huge. Yonge St should be a central street, not the eastern edge of the downtown/CBD." I know that plenty of...

I had a chance to do a lot of walking yesterday with my husky. About 25km. Realized that Shangri la looks big from close up and against a back drop. But from far away or stand alone at a distance, its size is not really felt.

There was an article posted somewhere on the forum taht they found what the cause of the exploding glass was impurities and also the 2 buildings (murano and Festival Tower) that used Architects Alliance as an architect are willingly replacing the glass with a more durable car windshield type...

ahhh that completes the story. I read that Detroit was losing population at a fast rate. It doesn't qualify as a major city anymore because its population fell below 700,000 if i recall correctly so they loose state funding as well. Doing a census recount to see if they can find another 10,000...

very well put. in the end $$$$$ will rule, especially when it comes to taxes. One thing that we are finally starting to see is more street development, with projects like AURA, that will have shopping and dining and plenty of space for residents. Another great thing is that Ann Scott Park will...

I agree with many of his points as well. This city is going in the right direction with densifying the downtown core along the subway line. High end buildings demand high selling prices, and until we reach prices like NYC for preconstruction, not many hi end buildings will be going up. I cant...

You also have to realize not every building will be a A class high end building. Cityplace had cheap units that were literally spit out every few years. There are projects that look better, have better architecture and planning.

I wonder how that time line looks like in Dubai and other UAE countries. They usually work overnight 24/7 shifts due to deadlines. Also the sheer height of a tower does not have as much to do with it, as does its actual square footage.

didnt make news. Maybe on Toronto Police website but I doubt it. I know, because I knew the victim and persons place he jumped from.

I agree not everyone takes photography as a hobby. Some just point and click. Forum is for encouraging discussion and exchange of ideas. Pictures just give reference to what is on topic and visual progress.

Or look like Toronto at all. We have the 2nd most high rises after NYC.
