This is not intellectual masturbation (excuse my language): there are some real practical issues involved. The place is neither functional or in good repair. Thus a lot of money needs to be spent. Would it be better to spend money to build something better? That is the debate. Would we...

I am really interested as to how they do the ground floor. Opening up the ground floor with some transparent glass, would really improve the former bunker aesthetic (as opposed to simply re-cladding with large blank panels of opague glass). I will partially forgive this reclad if they improve...

For those of us who cannot read The Star article: https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/oxford-and-aimco-unveil-square-one-district-a-new-130-acre-35-000-person-mixed-use-community-in-the-heart-of-downtown-mississauga-818669612.html Colour me skeptical as all the residential buildings thus...

The attention to detail combined with decent materials and good design.....my goodness this is turning out great.

And here I thought this firm could not build anything worse than Y+C and how wrong I was.

At least the rendering is honest about the detailing.

Great reply Northern Light. I fail to see how the reduction of density on this site equals "the city is against reasonable density downtown".

Disappointing colour choice and detailing, so far.

What a great contribution to the city. May it be heavily patronized.

Worst new building of 2019. Its not even a contest.

I saw this at street level the other day. Not sure why but I really liked it. The changing volumes and shapes make it work. My bet is that once it is done, and the ground level retail unit is finished, it will look even better. This firm can do a concrete enclosed garage better than most...

1985 Edmonton called. They want their building proposal back. (with apologies to Edmonton)

Well, there isn't such a train. Even if there was, and when you are not leaving to work in another city, where are you going to walk to on the weekends and evenings? To an overpriced chain restaurant? A hotel lobby? The wax museum?

I am not that familiar with Niagara Falls but is this area even considered "downtown"? I always had the impression that there are no residents or locals anywhere near this area and that there is a true "downtown" someplace else, albeit in the form of a sad main street that tourists never see...

I am pleasantly surprised at how great this design is. And I will be even more surprised once it gets built. ;) Makes The One look kinda 1985. (not saying that it won't get built. But I have seen lesser designs in this city get watered down or cancelled. This will not be cheap to...

If Maple fans, who are 10 minutes away by car, find the location too far, the team is doomed.

The dead zone along BTS's Bay Street frontage will unfortunately continue, as long as its form remains the same, despite the addition of a residential tower in the back.

Damn son! Where to start? Love the colourings and tones. Love the detailing. Love the fact that the aesthetic is modern yet not necessarily minimalist or a copy of others' designs. Love the scale. Love the fact that we are getting office space, rentals, retail and condos (a near perfect...

No need to worry: this mall is definitely downmarket. It is almost near empty inside most of the time and there are no national or international brand small chains inside this sucker. And yes, I am too surprised that it is not being redeveloped, if only for the sake of providing a larger and...

And it is clear that Rogers cares little about the aesthetics of the building. Their number crunchers are happy with the big billboards and are clearly not interested in spending more money to the benefit of our eyes and the city. They are still laying off people at the station and there is...
