    Doesn't Daniels have a long history of subsidized and affordable projects?

    Do You Like New Street Signs?

    It's taken some time but as more of them pop up in my neighbourhood I find myself warming up to them. They look like they were designed by an engineer but let's face it the old ones are tough to read and some are in rough shape.

    Parc Downsview Park

    That's about 60 units per acre on the lands in the RFP - seems very dense for Keele and Wilson.

    Speculating about a new start at 1 Bloor East

    No doubt, having a public square at such an important and valuable intersection would be a bold statement for the City. There would a tremendous number of people that would visit it and it would be a valuable asset in a City that doesn't have much in the way of squares. However, the...

    Combined Sales Tax Could Cost Homebuyers Thousands

    I did not know that that is the intention of the HST but, hey, if that's what happens then terrific. My sense was that is supposed to simplify tax and intended to be revenue neutral but IMO it's application to new homes requires closer consideration. Why should HST be charged on the land...

    Speculating about a new start at 1 Bloor East

    If we're going to spend over $50mill for a park I would prefer to see it larger and more special than a postage stamp at a congested intersection. The cash-in-lieu of parkland that the eventual developer of this site has to pay (has it been paid already?) would provide a tremendous boost for...

    1 Bloor East, DEAD AND BURIED (Bazis, -2s, Varacalli)

    Combined Sales Tax Could Cost Homebuyers Thousands

    What a complete mess! Reading the posts above it is clear how confusing the HST to people. The province should be assisting in providing clear guidance to buyers as to how this will impact them. This has been a mess from the start -- I feel bad for homebuyers, may of whom are doing it for the...

    1 Bloor East, DEAD AND BURIED (Bazis, -2s, Varacalli)

    Is it coincidence that Gary Switzer, ex of Great Gulf, is now at Tricon? Executive Vice President of Great Gulf Homes, Gary Switzer, has recently announced that he has accepted the position of President and CEO of the newly-formed Tricon Development Group Inc., as of May 19 2009. The...

    Next Mayor of Toronto?

    Dilla, you are bang on. I believe that the stats also show that % wage gains in the overall Ontario economy are similar or less (for those of us lucky enough to have kept our jobs) and not expected to increase any time soon.

    Toronto 12° / 12 Degrees Condos | 35.66m | 11s | BSäR Group | Core Architects

    Wow, fantasic looking building. The reduced height (10 storeys) is much more in line with other benchmarks (eg Phoebe) but still seems to be pushing the limit for what has been acceptable in this little pocket. However, I would be all for showing flexiblity re demo of marginal heritage...

    is this stretch of yonge through richmond hill going to look like north york city centre part II? so far, it appears that way.

    Toronto U Condominiums | 183.79m | 56s | Pemberton | a—A

    Price appears to be comparable to other recent projects to the south in what i would consider similar or inferior projects including Burano/Murano and Aura. Views to the south and west should outstanding and the tower's architecture is very impressive IMHO. I would take the aA look for this...

    Oakville Rain and Senses Condominiums | 72.84m | 21s | Empire | Graziani + Corazza

    Kerr and Speers is a great location for height and density in Oakville - not far from the GO station/highway access and a safe distance from the more established low-rise residential neighbourhoods to the south. I hope Empire goes for more and gets it...
