There is a lot of employment land in that area, retail, light manufacturing and other commerce. Any redevelopment will have to keep that in mind.

At present the western part of the Queensway is automobile city. If the Queensway is densely developed, as it probably should be, I hope they extend the 501 Streetcar tracks west along the Queensway. There are already dedicated tracks along the Queensway from approximately St.Joseph’s...

The Sun Also Rises. The solstices of 2019, Humber Bay Shores. Eau du Soleil is our Humber Bay “Stonehenge” as the summer solstice sun rises between the towers last June 21. Winter Solstice was 11:19 PM, December 21, Eastern Time. Sunrise, December 22, this morning, moves far to the south...

I too am weary of excessive teal, but I would have said that the favounite colour for recent condos is a “dull as a November day grey.” I am really tired of that.

Most of the external work appears to have been completed and, judging by the evening lights, many if not most of the units are occupied. But it Is a sunny winter day so here are a couple of photos...

And a board whose members seem to be predominantly male might easily underestimate the way nail salons are a focus of community among groups of women. Or so Mrs. 67 tells me.

Not in the least disagreeing with your point here, but a question purely out of curiosity. My sister attends Yorkminster Park Church, across the street from this proposed structure and I have some other connections there also. As a result, I am in the area from time to time, hence my...

Well, comparing a particularly densely built neighbourhood to a whole city is scarcely an apples to apples comparison

A small note re the philanthropy behind the building. Mrs. Katherine Morrison, who, together with her late husband Russell, were the primary donors for this addition, died this past week. Their donations to the university approached $40,000,000 and also made several other new structures at the...

Towers in a city aglow...

A walk by the lake on a sunny morning...

Almost finished. The word is that the towers are now occupied up to the 28th floor. Evening lighting from the units makes that look at least close to accurate.

The renders remind me of the car Homer Simpson designed ...

Eau du Soleil and other HBS towers, from the shore walk in old Mimico...

I have to admit I am ignorant about a lot of technical terms so I googled “SPA elevations”. I got a bunch of ads for places with massages, mud baths, pedicures and aromatherapy. I’m guessing, just guessing, that this may not be what you are talking about.

We managed to match the kitchen decor to our dog Rover so exactly, that one time when he fell asleep in the kitchen, we couldn’t locate him for three days.
