    871 Islington (Zirka Kelebay, ?s, ?)

    Very interesting find. I'm interested to see what the play is here.

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

    Nope, we're getting all exposed non-sense here.

    Toronto 530 Yonge Street | 224.8m | 68s | KingSett Capital | Giannone Petricone

    It is indeed way too nice for Toronto. That's why it will never be built and this is all fantasy land stuff.

    Toronto Quay House | 73.15m | 21s | Empire | Kirkor

    Good on you to message planning, nice work! The not so good news is that we'll be waiting 30+ years at this rate, so no change coming anytime soon.

    Oakville Distrikt Station | 184.8m | 58s | Distrikt Development | BDP Quadrangle

    Many Oakville residents live in their own deluded world thinking that they still live in a "town" to convince themselves that basically no condos should be built there. The level of NIMBY there is on a whole other scale.

    Toronto Pinnacle Lakeside (Phase 1) | 174.86m | 54s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Depends on whether Pinnacle decides to use at least some semi-decent looking materials here. We've seen time and time again where an architect's design is hamstrung by a cheap developer (ie: there's an ongoing project in Liberty Village where HPA's design is being wasted by BGO's cheapness).

    Hamilton Radio Arts | 47.6m | 14s | Canlight | KNYMH

    Ah i remember the good old days where I would wait for the convoy of HSR buses in front of the narrow sidewalks at bus stop here at King and Caroline, while looking into that sad car dealership directly opposite me. Wow have the times changed. Everything except for the convoy of HSR buses which...

    Toronto Pinnacle Lakeside (Phase 1) | 174.86m | 54s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    This is exactly what this is reminding me of...the redux of those nasty Daniel's Waterfront towers.

    Oakville Distrikt Station | 184.8m | 58s | Distrikt Development | BDP Quadrangle

    I love it, it's about time Oakville takes on some density.

    Toronto Quay House | 73.15m | 21s | Empire | Kirkor

    Then add to the fact that the streetwall here looks like an embarrassment, and overall what we have here is an appalling piece of trash all around. Essentially we have a piece of narrow sidewalk that shouldnt be there.

    Toronto 5280 Dundas Street West | 167.9m | 49s | Marlin Spring | Jahan Mehr

    ^Exactly this. 0% chance Hydro One would ever relocate transmission towers for a private developer. They wouldnt do it for Metrolinx or the TTC, and they most certainly would never do it for Marlin Spring.

    Toronto 5280 Dundas Street West | 167.9m | 49s | Marlin Spring | Jahan Mehr

    The parking ratio is good in my opinion. The site is close enough to Kipling station, and there's frequent bus service along the Dundas corridor itself which can connect residents to Cloverdale for additional services. There's also a grocery store, pharmacy, bank, and park all within walking...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Very interesting, I usually take that bus fairly frequently from Eglinton Station heading eastbound from Yonge and have experienced crush load (mainly from students heading to school) which eases up after Bayview. Afternoon peak i've experienced the same beginning at Brentcliffe heading...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    From what i'm aware of, the whole thing with the 110C being extended to use Kipling Loop was so it would have a proper place to layover and due to some sort of resident concern of buses laying over on 12th St. So now with this latest change, I dont get where buses would be laying over if...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I suspect the TTC will be cutting the grand majority of these temporary service improvements as this is simply a reallocation of resources. Council cant even budget for increased subway service, so i highly doubt they will make these temporary improvements permanent. If anything, maybe a handful...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Why am I not surprised that these clowns arent increasing subway service. I guess they like seeing 10 min waits during the mid-day to become a regularized event. I'll refrain from commenting further until we see the surface route service change implications.

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

    My goodness this unfinished ceiling trend is truly getting to the point of being horrific.

    Toronto Valhalla Village | 123m | 38s | KingSett Capital | Zeidler

    Urghh can this just get rid of this stupid wind-swept, useless plaza once and for all. Either that or design it in a way where it's actually somewhat useful.

    Toronto Long Branch Tower | 143.4m | 43s | Toronto Standard | Studio JCI

    The thing with Caledonia GO area is that it will be an interchange between the Crosstown Line and the Barrie line, so it makes more sense for the higher density we see being proposed in that area. You have the Crosstown which will offer a high capacity and frequent service, combined with the...

    Toronto Long Branch Tower | 143.4m | 43s | Toronto Standard | Studio JCI

    Food is also a requirement for basic human life, does that mean one should be eating hot dogs and hamburgers every day to survive, when there are other options available to a person? There are other forms of development available, we are not choosing between a 43 story tower and nothing. So to...
