That's an outrage, such a regressive decision. Any way to know which councilors are responsible?

Yes, I left out some assumptions from my response: 1. I am hopeful the provincial government will integrate City of Toronto GO stations into a single TTC fare. That is, after the current government gets voted out. 2. Given the above point, 10 minute commute to Union with no added cost...

Completely agree with you. However, these projects can't come in fast enough. And while Allies & Morrison are ambitious about delivering a GO station in about 5 years (fingers crossed), the City official plan to start the construction of Waterfront West LRT can be best described as "some time...

Did something change? I thought blue was one of the proposed colors:

Found this guy during my travels today, figured this was the most appropriate thread to post his portrait, all things considered:

Exqueeze me?? Everyone? I shall not stand for such treacherous lies! I was there, and in every meeting I was telling everyone that the density here should be even higher and that they should be proposing even taller buildings. I especially enjoyed the gasps of horror from local NIMBYs when my...

Just a point of clarification, the keys photo is from a couple years back when I got my occupancy in Onni's last project - Westlake Encore. I ended up booking my elevator for the next day as well, but I really didn't need to. The way Onni did it (pre-lockdown, of course) is that you can just...

That beautiful moment when you finally get your set of keys:

Lots of activity on site today bringing down the crane from the East (taller) tower. A construction worker confirmed they are relocating the crane to a different spot: Meanwhile, new cladding has been put up along the western facade. Hard to see, but the window wall is just some...

Reaching grade towards the northwest corner

I lost count after 30. My video doesn't show the full extent. They have cars blocking the road by Costco, more cruisers constantly circling the block. One of the Court busses (for multiple prisoner transport) left the area before I started filming.

The police presence outside that restaurant is unreal. It seems like they parked every single vehicle from their carpark on that street.

A couple of observations from last night's walk-around inspection of the public realm here. 1. Not sure if it's the first in Toronto, but is certainly the first time I have personally seen this: a dedicated visitor secure bike storage room. Accessible directly from the street, with intercom...

Well, this is certainly the first time for me when a developer went out of their way to dispute my posts. I'm not sure how posting photo evidence of chips and other imperfections in the precast panels constitutes as "misinformation". Nevertheless, thank you for clarifying that these issues...

Clearly, the continuation of the soundwave motif on the crown is just as invisible to the naked eye as the soundwave on the balconies. One simply needs X-ray vision to spot it.

Just out of curiosity, why is it that for the last few decades all new GTA yellow belt developments are clad in brick, while outside of GTA wood and vinyl siding is still perfectly acceptable? Is vinyl siding banned in GTA municipalities? If so, is it due to performance or aesthetics?

I have a confession to make. I'm obsessed with this building as of late. Ever since they started to put up the regal cladding, I can't help but stop and gaze at it in utter amazement every time I pass by... Here are some more shots of the royal treatment Toronto waterfront is getting:

T'is what it is... I've had to develop a stern and pragmatic attitude towards my photography posts ever since joining UT: "Shoot'em. Bag'em. Tag'em" I very much share your sentiments regarding light pollution and energy waste. Hopefully, when this sea of window wall construction goes through...
