Or Air Canada got it self on the team to do its best to delay the project as much as possible. Perhaps even turn it into a failure. Think slow train, poor station locations, and expensive ticket prices. The entire thing is being managed out of Quebec, and Air Canada’s interests will not be...

It will be really good for Canada, but very bad for Air Canada. So it’ll depend on how strong the lobbies are. Airlines will be against it. If you look at Europe, Japan, and China, most will not take a flight when the total travel time on a train is less than 5 hours. Only caveat is people who...

Personally i think this building is a well executed project for the area. I don’t find it in anyway overwhelming, it meets the street in a very uniform street wall that fits with rest of the area. The facade design does a lot to break up the bulk of the building and make it look diverse and...

3 reasons in my opinion. 1. PC party wanted a specific opening date. So the scope of the project was limited. 2. North of Eglinton runs into a Scarborough question on whether this line stay in North York or swings to Victoria Park to boarder Scarborough. No need to derail an entire project...

Could it be a long distance sleeper demo unit. VIA had put out a RFQ recently I believe.

It’s not offensive at all in the grand scheme of the context of what the area will become. It is Infact perfectly designed to reflect the city’s vision of what this part of downtown should be. I’ve always felt pushback against this project is less so against the building it self, but the...

I think many of the dislikes in this thread came from those who resides in lower rise buildings in the area. Indeed this structure does block the views of many sub 20 Storey buildings that were built earlier and to the north. Can’t fault people to complaining. But for someone who is not...

Turning out to be one of the most interesting condo buildings to look at in Toronto. It’s exceeding how great it looked in the renders. Well done to the developer and designers.

Tree removed to make room for a bus shelter and garbage bin maybe? Be interesting to see if there will be planters or trees on the other side.

I would say most congestion is caused by decades of underinvestment into public transportation infrastructure forcing residents of suburban areas to purchase their own motorized vehicles to sustain their everyday lives.

The building looks fine in real life. Actually fits into the area quite well. You need to see it in real life to appreciate it. It is pronounced et-ten-no-nen-was-te-nen Not too hard once you try it a couple of times. The long spelling just makes many people give up immediately

My take in this project is simply, just build something. We have been talking about this for an entire generation. LRT, subway, elevated metro, monorail. Anything is better than what it is now.

need to relocate all the garbage docks first.

the scale of this site is huge. Really shows it from above.

From above today. Topped up. Almost fully sealed.

The gray spandrels will blend in with lots of the curtains and roller-blinds once the building is completed. I used to hate gray spandrels as much as anyone, until I saw a building with a different type of finish only to have it clash with the white backings of closed curtains once the building...

Given Toronto’s guideline on density required for higher order transit like a subway, the council should approve a building at least 35 stories tall on this location. We really shouldn’t be building low rise low density housing next to subway stations.

I am in agreement that the downtown should fund subways with stops every 500 meters to all suburbs of Toronto. Will you run for mayor and make this happen? Alternatively, I am also ok if you propose to ensure that the cost of building and operating transit downtown is entirely paid for by the...
