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

    Technically speaking the glass doesn’t need to align as the panes cane always be swapped at a later date without issue. the concern though is all panes have a specific section they are made for. Panel “A1” to section “A1” type concept and the installers are not following said plan or the shop...

    Toronto The RIV | 113m | 34s | Broccolini | Arcadis

    So funny fact. The old Project Manager at Streecar Developments is now the Director of Residential for Broccolini in Toronto. Take a look at Riverside Square and take a look at the re-design of this. This has multiple characteristics of RSQ in the design, with the fact the roof design and slope...

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    Where do you get this assumption? Bad experience yourself? Bold statement to call out one of the 20+ Trades involved in building a condo. Additionally, if you actually worked in the industry(which I can only assume you don't based on your comment) then you would know that plumbing (Mechanical)...

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    Speaking from a CM/Developer perspective - Reaching "At Grade" in the industry means 75% completion. It's the point that most projects are tracked from for substantial completion, as coming out of the ground can be very unpredictable.

    Toronto The Rosedale on Bloor | 185.92m | 55s | Gupta | Arcadis

    This project has nothing to do with Dundas Gardens. Separate projects, separate teams. This has had extensive problems with excavation and foundation re-designs. Additionally, soil conditions and site logistics are proving to be more time consuming. It'll go!

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    They actually aren't much smaller when it comes to the initial base. Also, they do have ladders for the purpose of maintenance. You just going to float up there with your moon boots on? How do I get a pair?

    Toronto 368-386 Eglinton Avenue East | 34.17m | 11s | HPG | Kirkor Architects

    I lived in 368 when this was originally proposed. Despite the renderings, the side lot is not big enough for anything other then what is proposed as you could not obtain set-backs large enough from the adjacent buildings (368 to the W or 3?? to the E). The lot they're proposing is actually...

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    You would actually finish less suites by having it climb on the exterior then having a crane climb within the tower. Also with a site so tight, you cant waste space on having a crane base, real estate is so valuable it needs to rise within the tower. Depending on specs for loads, it'll be 4-6...

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    To clarify the above, all Towers are measured to tip of Spire and not Flat Roof. I found your 7 m. ;) Also regarding the Height of FCP issue with nothing being taller - Yes, that is real but it is a BMO rule from when they built the Tower - Nothing within a city block (Note ScotiaBank Tower...

    Toronto 2221 Yonge Condos | 192.62m | 58s | Tower Hill | Pei Partnership

    That actually looks like the result of too much steel / terrible mix design / too low of a slump in the concrete (not enough saturation) and poor workmanship (vibration). As shown in the other columns, some slight vibration issues have occurred but you should never see a column stripped with the...

    Toronto Bathurst College Centre | ?m | 4s | RioCan | Turner Fleischer

    Worked on the building for a couple months.. The building is split in 2 for production purposes. North portion of the site was excavated first working south, meaning production could ramp up on the north, almost treating it as two separate projects. An expansion joint exists between the...

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    Not weird at all considering GFL bought Anchor Shoring, which would be doing the Shoring and Michael Bros obviously received the Excavation Contract over GFL... Trades do work together you know..... its not one at a time

    Toronto INDX Condos | 178.6m | 54s | Lifetime | P + S / IBI

    Plans are in the works to redo Sheppard and Temperance since the Construction process of INDX and EY destroyed the area. From what I know is they plan to widen the Sidewalks and reduce it to one actual lane. Sheppard will remain 2 lanes but with redone sidewalks

    Toronto INDX Condos | 178.6m | 54s | Lifetime | P + S / IBI

    I was part of the Construction Management Team on the project and I can assure you that NO Path connection will ever be completed. At this point the Condo Board wont pay the millions required to do so. One thing I can say was done, the Knock Out Panels are in place and it could be done one day...

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

    It takes time to build, yes, but planning is what matters. As per any City multiple Studies are required during the planning stages of construction, which some can actually take years if it is a Enviromental or Archilogical issue. For instance, I was in Burlington on a Contaiminated site South...
