    Toronto King Portland Centre and Kingly Condos | 57.6m | 15s | Allied | Hariri Pontarini

    Wow. So it is that one. What a shame. I'm all for development, but this is a beautiful building that adds so much character to the street. Maybe they can work out a deal to destroy the Travelodge across the street instead.:o Who would miss that thing?

    Toronto King Portland Centre and Kingly Condos | 57.6m | 15s | Allied | Hariri Pontarini

    I live right around there but can't place it exactly. Does anyone have a photo? Is it the one right next to Chevelle? If so, I imagine there will be some disappointed buyers from 650 King West...say goodbye to those city views.

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

    If I did buy there, I don't think either me or my neighbours below would appreciate the glass floor option.:)

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

    And I suppose "relaxing" on an open balcony 70 stories above street level would be considerably more difficult. I wouldn't call myself afraid of heights, but an open glass balcony that's almost as high as a CN Tower observation level seems a little frightening. There's got to be some pretty...

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

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't understand the appeal of the lanai balcony in some of these units. Are they essentially solariums? People with older condos in this city have been spending money to get rid of these things, which essentially consume square footage without...

    Toronto Rêve | ?m | 14s | Tridel | Wallman Architects

    And then suddenly, the very next day, there is a crane erected on the site. Ta-da! Looks like this will start moving ahead again.

    Toronto Rêve | ?m | 14s | Tridel | Wallman Architects

    I live very close to this development, and there was a flurry of activity for months as they dug the pit. But for the past month or so, it's been completely dead. I walk past it every morning and afternoon and haven't seen workers in weeks. Think they're waiting on a crane? Maybe with so...

    Change bike laws

    The only reason this is much more dangerous now is because it isn't law for cyclists to treat stop signs as yields. They are employing common sense (and admittedly are breaking the law), but when that is not recognized by drivers, it can create a potentially dangerous situation because neither...

    Change bike laws

    Forcing bicycles to comply to the same rules of the road as cars and setting that as the precedent is exactly what is causing all the problems and animosity between drivers and cyclists. Really, road laws were set up exclusively for cars – and cyclists have been forced to follow suit even...

    Toronto Fashion House | ?m | 12s | Freed | Core Architects

    Yeah, I think I mentioned in this thread last week that the Freed people would probably want that taken down once they found out about it. Especially because it was a relatively low quality scan of the book. I guess they found it, and I'm also guessing that the realtor probably lost his invite...

    Puglies 2008: People's Choice Awards for Architecture

    We would have seen some drastically different results if there was a sliding scale instead of simply loving it or hating it. I think a lot of the better buildings would have risen to the top based on more very high ratings, while buildings like ROCP would have fallen somewhere closer to the middle.
