    Toronto 75 Broadway Avenue | 117.34m | 38s | Hazelview | WZMH

    Time for a ban on silver aluminum mullions

    Toronto 75 Broadway Avenue | 117.34m | 38s | Hazelview | WZMH

    When I first saw the windowwall cladding at the top of the page , I imagined the bloodcurdling scream from the Psycho shower scene

    Planned Sprawl in the GTA

    No matter what your politcal stripe is, cars are incredibly dangerous, and will remain so until we have self-flying cars. There is a middle ground, such as a case for a private mass transit alternative. I'd gladly pay $300 per. month instead of $160 for a metropass from a private transit...

    Toronto 83 Bloor West | 260.25m | 77s | Parallax | Arcadis

    Not a fan of the new boxy charcoal grey podium and ommision of the curves on the Bloor side. Should have kept it as beige with the indentations.

    Toronto 619 Yonge | 237.99m | 70s | YI Developments | Core Architects

    In what universe do buyers think these franken-condos look good? These are all shoeboxes with crappy little one-wall kitchenettes with mini induction stoves, minifridges. Is this all investors buying off spec ?

    The Tenor (10 Dundas St E, Ent Prop Trust, 10s, Baldwin & Franklin)

    Im going to go out on a limb, and predict that in 5 years they'll be scrambling to rebrand/reinvent it on a shoestring budget (yet again) , and "The Tenor" will be a thing of the past.

    Toronto 8 Camden | 58.15m | 17s | Lamb Dev Corp | a—A

    I dont mind the clean lines, but I wish the grey was more of a greige , orange, rose gold, or dark green. Somthing other than that cold grey.

    Toronto 247 Davenport Road | 64.69m | 16s | DC Dev Corp | Richard Wengle

    I don't consider the housing shortage and housing bubble to be a political issue. It's both an economic and urbanist one. You don't have to be on the far left to be critical of policies that stimulate demand while constricting supply. These same policies kill urban vibrancy. When most people...

    Toronto 247 Davenport Road | 64.69m | 16s | DC Dev Corp | Richard Wengle

    Why not look at things more holistically instead of focusing solely on height ? Screwing the historic low rise areas would mean the developer is hiring an architect to create an out-of-place bargain basement contemporary design ; rife with nonsense like mismatched spandrel, copius mullions...

    Toronto 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    It looks great lit up in softer warm white light. It's the best way to accentuate the scalloped facade. The colored LEDs just look garish and detract from it.

    Brampton Bramrose Square | ?m | 68s | Starbank | Turner Fleischer

    Picturesque view of Highway 410. Minutes from downtown. Starting from the low 500s. Master bedroom with double sliding glass doors.

    Toronto TOOR Hotel / The 203 Residences on Jarvis | 108.2m | 32s | Manga | Arcadis

    The fussy balconies and V shaped columns and gap toothed section ruin it for me. It tries too hard .

    Toronto Fairview Mall Redevelopment Phase 1 | 180.2m | 52s | Cadillac Fairview | Hariri Pontarini

    The height decrease and unit reduction is silly, but parking increase makes sense in this location.

    Toronto 68 Wellesley Street East | 91.9m | 28s | KingSett Capital | BDP Quadrangle

    I'll give them credit for using materials and a colour palette other than window wall and blue/grey, but the design is quite slap-dash and similar to The Social.

    Toronto 147 Spadina | 82.8m | 24s | Hullmark | AUDAX

    I agree, but at least the Hudson across the street has a nicely articulated crown, so it's not like the immediate block is nothing but two story Victorians and window-wall matchbox condos like much of downtown. If I had to pick my poison Id pick VE of the crown over VE of street level/podium...

    Kitchener 1001 King Street East | 102.1m | 30s | Vive Development | Neo Architecture

    The podium is somewhat bearable but the tower section, with its messy balconies steals the show, and not in a good way. It has a Soviet gulag aesthetic.

    Toronto King Adelaide Centre | 51.95m | 12s | YAD | KFA

    Stubby & tepid design. Why not build residential on top of the office?

    Toronto 461 Sheppard Avenue East | 144m | 44s | 461 Sheppard Ave E Properties | Graziani + Corazza

    The proposed design makes NY Towers look beautiful by comparision.

    Toronto Minto Westside | 68.88m | 20s | Minto Group | Wallman Architects

    Fitting for the quality of this 'architecture'
