The only positive thing about Nobu is that it's on a tiny little side street surrounded by other tall buildings. The podium will only be visible to those unfortunate enough to be walking on Mercer or the laneway. And the tower will really only stand out from the south east angle where it will...

I've had similar notions about that block. Would be very difficult to pull off without a massive amount of blowback. They managed something similar in Montreal but there were fewer properties in question there.

It''s like a virus and seems to be city wide. Currently, there is no known vaccine or treatment.

This may be the first time I have mourned the loss of a parking garage.

I guess colours are considered to be too polarizing by the TPTB. Not everyone loves hot pink, lime green or even mellow yellow. But good old neutral grey/white/black?--now those are some non-colours that everyone can get behind and say "meh".

Shhhh!! You don't want to wake up The Cheapening.

Maybe its real name should be Instagram Park.

^That monster's going to block out most of the skyline from that angle. Nice photo, BTW!

So, council had a CometoJesus moment and decided: What the hell, YOLO, let's make it an even 300! Is FCP no longer sacred? Wonder how that augers for anything else going up in the financial district.

It really is astonishing how many towers can be crammed into what appears to be--at least on googlemaps--pretty small sectors of land. The empty expanse around the 407 station could comfortably accomodate 30 or 40 towers alone. (And on that note, does anyone know if there are plans to develope...

^Careful what you wish for. There's a much greater chance and degree of cheapifying a condo tower than an office tower. (Esp. considering that this is not exactly a luxury part of town.)

Indeed, I will never understand why they did this. (Maybe to save some precious pennies?) I think CF has proven themself over the last decade or two to be utterly incompetant. Ziedler's recent passing has also reminded me of just how badly they disrespected his design by basically taking a...

Finally, a reason to block out the sun!

It looks like that rebar is starting to rust.

The finished form of the office tower keeps looking sharper and sharper to me. (Reminds me of something you'd see in....hmm...HK maybe?) Regardless of its design sources, it still adds a really emphatic exclamation point to its immediate surroundings and visually stretches the CBD in its general...

I'm actually surprised he hasn't announced the return of Buck-a-Beer. (Though I suspect he's saving that one for the onset of the Zombie Apocalypse)

Or the parking lot it's replacing.

No reason why Toronto shouldn't have it's own "Billionaire's Row" to shock and awe those who lack ambition. If the elevator doesn't open up directly into your occasionally inhabited apartment, then you're just not trying hard enough!

Hey, I think it's high time we started a Rob Ford thread. We can talk about all of these he did, but we'll use the present tense.

Or "CF Disaster Re-Clad" as they would officially brand it.
