ok, while we're fantasizing maybe the crack spits up "hundreds of millions of dollars" once the buildings are erased.:cool:

I wish a big crack would open up south of the gardiner and swallow up the pinnacle centre and the westin harbour castle. (without hurting anyone)

what a mess, but I do like the stripes, a nice touch.

doesn't anyone else think it's a tad sleazy and sycophantic to announce North America's largest urban park, and then stick a massive airport (and all the related infrastructure such as highways, warehouses, parking lots, etc) right next to it. It's as if they were buttering up the residents just...

I actually really like all-glass buildings like l-tower and delta, it's when they start mixing concrete and spandrel into the facade that things start to look really cheap and dirty. look at success tower and all those mistakes south of the gardiner.

Technically it wouldn't be "brought to grade", would it? It would be gone and lakeshore (with multiple traffic lights) would be all that's left, which is fine with me but all the mindless commuters from the boonies would probably have a stroke. I say do it though, they pretty much elected and...

I really disagree that Europe preserves everything anyway. Look at Paris, they bulldozed huge swathes of the city in the late 1800s to set up the 'grande avenues'. Now a lot of the residential buildings are just boring crap, only they're 150 year old crap. Look at Italy, they've got so much to...

I like the canyon effect that front street is getting now that bremner is growing up. That view from the gooderham building has a really nice contrast of Victorian in the foreground and the telus build in the background. L tower puts the icing on the cake.

Omg I laughed soooo hard from that. Still laughing as I write this. Thank god for auto complete.

ha! I can imagine the future 15 years from now... Tonight's news: Trum Tower changes name to Tru Tower After "M" falls off and kills 10 passengers of a tour bus, In a desperate effort to save money after losing multiple liability lawsuits, management decides to change the official name to "TRU...

This thread's title should be changed to "Trum Tower Toronto".

Thanks for answering that, thicker concrete between floors is a plus. Noise dampening and what not.

I agree that Ice and Delta plus the telus pwc and the other box are great looking buildings but I don't think they're the ONLY good looking ones south of the tracks. I personally like the Brookfield office towers next to the harbour comission building south of the gardiner, they're probably the...

ha! I agree with you all the way, a perfect opportunity to get Trump in here and film him firing people. Start with the people who decided to delay OUR PUBLIC ART. aka "Lightline" I also hope the city get moving on suing the managers who refuse to provide said public art piece. In doing so...

anyone else find it a bit strange that there's going to be only 10 stories difference between the two, but 30 metres height difference (which suggests 3 metres per floor). Do these buildings have super tall ceilings or something?

True, I wish we were more like Melbourne, they've got tons of those and they're lined with bars and all sorts of different ethnic restaurants. Though I have often hear Melbourners (and Australians in general) use that old adage that multiculturalism is the most amazing thing ever "Because of the...

^yippeeeee

I agree with Kris, I would say around 189 m. Which means this diagram: http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=12 , must be wrong in terms of proportions (but not total height) since it shows the second setback ending at 170 m. kind of sad imo, I was hoping for a taller slim section with...

LOL, I remember a huge argument in this thread a while back about whether or not the building is "finished", where I refused to accept people's claims that Trump Tower is finished. Well from the mouths of the people running the place it sounds like it isn't, a full 4 years after it started...

Every time they haul out the window washing equipment I mistake it for the addition of the final touches. I can't for the life of me understand why they refuse to finish this building. I know the developers are Russian, is that why they're so unconcerned about ever finishing? Even the North...
