Dead on. I'd like to add that Jacobs was even for increased density in specific locations such as against 'border vacuums'. And as a community idealist her density recommendations are correct. You can't tell me that people are going act like they are in a neighborhood at Bay and Adelaide (I'm...

I think one of the most interesting views of Parade is from Kensington. Something very odd happening within that juxtaposition. On another note, it sounds like 'Freed' is dangerously coming close to becoming a verb.

Good one! Fireplace, haha. Your 'pond' comment got me interested but the only renders of the courtyard I could find was this: http://www.theredpin.com/images/precon_amenity/415/watermarked/2.jpeg Not much more information. They must have changed the plan since. KPMB has very little on this...

I noticed that on the west face the other day too. I think it was/is two really big spot lights. It made FCP look like a big anime character. Probably just for the re-cladding though.

Nope, can't remember the exact words but essentially sounded like it's not going ahead (and cited the budget as the reason). I think everyone's a bit more worried about the election than if an office is going to be started in 4-5 years. But again, my source (who had their face blurred out and a...

I hope my source is wrong but I'm sorry to say I've heard this project has been shelved. Apparently Ontario has a dept problems to deal with first. Don't jump on me but I can only say my source comes from inside but not directly affiliated with this project.
