    2024 UT Year-End Poll Discussion

    The poll really should be a worst building of the year ranking--there are just so many (dis)honourable candidates from this year to choose from. For the 20 - 29 story category, it's a real toss-up between the dog's breakfast of Upper West Village vs the frightfully Frankensteinian Time & Space...

    Toronto/Chicago comparisons

    Good thing something like that could never happen here.

    Toronto Nathan Phillips Square + Spirit Garden | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto

    One of my fantasies for the future is to see the wrap-around elevated walkway turned into a mini High-Line number with transparent railings, wood flooring, and lots of plantings and flower beds along the way. And, of course, redoing the entire concrete forecourt of the square with a nice...

    Toronto Time and Space Condos | 101.8m | 29s | Pemberton | Wallman

    It's the Cybertruck of condos!

    Toronto 75 on The Esplanade | 99.97m | 29s | Harhay | a—A

    It's to remind the local non-millionaire scum to try a bit harder in life.

    Toronto Bathurst Quay Revitalization | ?m | 2s | City of Toronto | Kearns Mancini

    I think another dog fountain is in order here....

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Maybe we should just let it gracefully recede into its true purpose: the world's largest transit themed art installation--featuring actual functioning trains and 3D rendeerbots!

    Toronto The One | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

    The first shot really shows the beauty of the revitalized U of T campus. When the fall colours come out it will be even more glorious.

    Toronto Nordic Condos | 40.3m | 12s | Collecdev-Markee | gh3

    I count at least 5 shades of grey. Guess they couldn't come up with fifty.

    Toronto The Whitfield | 130m | 39s | Menkes | Giannone Petricone

    This is turning out to be a rather handsome--dare I say sexy--addition to this stretch of the Front Street canyon.

    Highway 401 Transit and Auto Tunnel

    I suspect Ford got his inspiration watching a YouTube video about The Line.

    Toronto Leslie Lookout Park | ?m | ?s | CreateTO | CCxA

    Personally, I'd lean in the direction soft, creamy yellow. Would go nicely with the setting sun imo.

    Ajax 425 Bayly Street West | 193.24m | 60s | VanDusen Realty Holdings | Icon

    I have yet to see a more stark depiction of dystopian misery than what's on view here. On the plus side, it's conveniently close to the local crematorium.

    Toronto Toronto Island Park Master Plan | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto

    Wait...don't we already have an undeveloped, infill peninsula, just to the east of The Island, that's about the perfect size for a small commuter airport? *Ducks into bomb shelter with 10+ years of provisions*

    Toronto Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    Yup, so good that you'll have to start watermarking your watermarks.

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    ....or perhaps a certain...fruit store...???

    Shabby Public Realm

    Clearly, they were placed by superintelligent aliens as a means to advance our species.

    Ontario Science Centre

    Doug's helpful answer to the question: "Can you summarize in exactly 20 words what the engineering report said about the the OSC"?

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Maybe the same people who are annoyed by the curves in the letter "S".

    Toronto West Don Lands: Block 13 | 139.31m | 43s | Dream | Henriquez Partners

    Clearly, Toronto City Council's recent motion "Towards a Beautiful City," is not having its desired effect.
