In this market? It's kinda dodgy at the moment. Condo sales are in free fall, are they not? Even if this is a fairly attractive location. They are probably going to move forward only when circumstances permit. Even so, I wish this pair of towers weren't so stodgy-looking.

That particular shade of darker brown reminds me of the ubiquitous wooden wall panelling you'd see in basement rec-rooms of suburban homes typical of the late 60s/early 70s. The truly offensive thing to me is that there is already peeling on the cladding. It's as if it were sealed with an...

Shame if that's true. Reminds me.... there's a newish 3 story loft building near the top of Connaught Avenue on the east side that's recently been semi-completed. It looks like hell and the cladding is already peeling. A true eyesore. Whoever's behind it seems to have neither deep pockets nor...

Great documentation of the demolition of this site. Most peculiar methodology but I'm enjoying the novelty of it. Really looking forward to this project - it's going to beef up and urbanize the presence of that long-dormant corner of Leslieville.

Urban node 17-D.

Fantastic pics of the church's destruction, it's truly tragic. I hate when this kind of thing happens.

As it stands, it's a graceless carbuncular mess. Two words: try harder.

Dealership, schmealership. It’s a Porsche lifestyle aggregator leveraging the brand by offering a full palette of exceptional experiences specifically attuned to the unique community it remains Porsche’s honour to serve. It washes, it dries, it minds your children. Look, you’re soaking in it!

The Skydome has always been terrifically ugly in my books - it always reminded me of a squat commode.. But that pool is something I admire. I think it's closed while they do some much-needed repairs to the interior of the facility, including the pool liners.

Respectfully, I think Mr. Au would help his cause just by settling on one descriptor rather than two. Me, I just see it as Yonge and Bloor, as I always have.

This looks terrible. If you're going to go tall, do it with some style. As it stands, this would be an epic blight.

Personally, I'm OK with it. I like the idea that not everything needs to be a slab-sided box. These buildings loosely reference much older architectural styles - they're rather like pyramids modded by digital glitches. Plus, with the lake in view, some of these stepped-back buildings remind me...

Great shots.

Well, the warehouses were certainly great cheap space for artists and bands, that's for sure. Those days are long gone now. I don't miss the parking lots but I do miss the sketchier corners of Toronto from two or more decades ago, like Mill Street in the east end or the entirety of what's now...

I am! Is that a fact? How in blazes did I miss that. You've got to be joking, right?

I dunno... this is rather close to the stench of the waste transfer station, also on Bouchette, just south of this location along Commissioner. I can imagine that on certain humid summer days the smell might be intolerable. Yikes. Well, that height will certainly be noticed by the locals...

What is this, amateur hour?

Stodgy and bland.

The One from early this afternoon.

Such a large site, especially when viewed from an aerial perspective. When this is finished it's going to make an already impressively dense residential node that much more dramatic. I remember the days when the first Palace Pier was a singularly tall oddity perched above a slew of ratty old motels.
