Wow, the two towers are so close to each other! I hate that they are both an identical shade blue/grey.

I love the westward view from Don Mills and Sheppard. You can see the development nodes at Leslie, Bayview and the massive change to the skyline at Sheppard-Yonge/NYCC.

I drove by this couple of days ago. I thought it was some out door patio space of some kind. I'm glad the area is getting a new library. From what I was told couple of years ago, the Agincourt branch (Kennedy and Sheppard) was the busiest in all of TO. Hopefully this new branch would relieve...

Are you talking about GO buses? Currently the bus network is MUCH more than just replacements for trains during off peak hours. The bus network connects a lot of areas that are not serviced by the trains (Square One, Scarborough Town Centre, Yorkdale, etc.). If anything, buses will be a large...

Taken today. Cell phone pics so not the best quality.

North York Skyline - view from the east.

I don't think this is true. Unless you're in the financial sector, most fields are centred outside the core. Tech hubs are in Markham and Kitchener-Waterloo, large number of engineering firms in Mississauga, manufacturing in Sauga, Brampton, and outer 905. In this economic environment, employers...

That's an interesting point and I can see that shaping communities in the past, but I don't know if that's relevant anymore. Some of the most troublesome areas are in Etobicoke and western North York (Rexdale, Jane and Finch) and a lot of wealthy neighborhoods are north and slightly east of the...

Very good points. Development has swayed to the west not because of reputations as some of you keep mentioning but because of logistics. With Pearson and easier access to the US border on the west, there's an advantage to being in Western TO (Etobicoke), Mississauga, Brampton etc. I think...

A Toronto Star article from couple of weeks ago. http://www.thestar.com/life/homes/2014/02/14/cover_neighbourhoods.html

That's too bad. It would look spectacular! I'm not sure how high efficiency LED lighting would be considered significant for LEED certification. And regarding the low rents, I think it's to be competitive with the dozens of rental and condo buildings in the area (Kennedy and Ellesmere...

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but was there ever talk of a rooftop feature to light these buildings up at night? They are by far the tallest in the area but driving by at night, they are completely underwhelming.

Taken Friday December 20th. ICE towers going up into the clouds :)
