    Toronto The View Residences | 30.48m | 8s | Condoman | Standard Practice

    Thanks for the view from the south! I wondered what the grade differential was like

    Home Opener in a little over 6 weeks away. Looks like they are making good progress.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    I was reviewing the Lakeshore East Corridor Expansion final EA Report and it mentioned a Danforth GO Station Connectivity Study was being completed separately. I searched Metrolinx’s website, UT, and a Google and found nothing. Was this completed, and if so, anyone have any of the documents...

    Inflation

    No Name chips are $1.33 (when you buy 3) are No Frills. During the No Name price freeze they were $1 (when you buy 3). So those chips went up 33% when Loblaw's ended their NN price freeze. At Shoppers I think they're $2 or so. After the Loblaw's / Lay's feud ended, it seemed like prices were at...

    Cambridge Cambridge Square | ?m | 3s | King & Benton

    Ya, this seems high for stacked townhouses. For parking requirements, stacked townhouses generally follow rates associated with apartment units. At the high end, generally there are 1.5 spaces for residents and 0.25 spaces for visitors per unit on stacked townhouse projects in the 905-area. Near...

    Toronto Ontario Line: Osgoode Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Thanks. Hard to keep up with all the various legal actions. Add to the list of things overshadowed by the Tory announcement (as others alluded, it feels like a cover for other things).

    Toronto Ontario Line: Osgoode Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    There was an injunction to stop the trees from being cut down. A judge heard arguments, and allowed for the trees to be cut down. Looks they’ve started.

    Looks like they might pour the 21st level soon. If today, then it's been 12 days between floor pours. Previous cycle was 14 days (19th floor on Jan. 13th, 20th floor on Jan. 27th).

    Roads: Roundabouts

    Love the sidewalks within the roundabout but not a single sidewalk to/from it.

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    No worries. Plans change, so perhaps you saw an earlier one? I thought hotel rooms only went up to level 7, so I learned something new as well. I expect construction to start flying again now that they are above level 2. The floorplates are generally the same up to level 7. Starting on level 8...

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    The stats on the plans don't actually say the number of hotel rooms, only the GFA. Going through the floor plans, hotel rooms are located on floors 3-12 with the exception of floor 7 as that's for amenities. I counted 222 hotel rooms. This is just for Phase 2 as I don't believe there are any...

    Toronto Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    That, and considering their friend's playoff performances down Bremner, Shanahan still has a job. It will take a few more playoff losses before Shapiro's job is threatened. And while Shapiro is higher ranked and might make final calls on some player contracts/trades, Atkins is more responsible...

    “Uh, Frank? Did they measure this twice before cutting? It’s 3/8 too short!”

    A cover with the Rogers Centre logo was put over the SkyDome logo when the name was changed. I am glad to see many have fallen/been taken off revealing the old logo.

    Jesse Ketchum Park will not be affected by shadows. I see Pinnacle having a more favourable recommendation regardless
