    Toronto Festival Tower and tiff Lightbox | 156.96m | 42s | Daniels | KPMB

    The tower is indeed shaping up very nicely. Certainly, this is one of the rare instances of a project looking better in reality than shown in the renderings. Quality of construction materials does go a long way. (Ugh.)

    Toronto One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    This is pretty horrible. Hopefully any additional forthcoming renders will help change my opinion, but if not, then I certainly hope that GGH does not cheap out on construction materials, particularly that of the glass used for the balconies. In either case, I'm not holding my breath.

    How does Kosher or Halal food work?

    All religious behavior is totally irrational. :P However, what reason do you have to not respect the religious beliefs and practices of others? Whether it is a Jew adhering to kashrut law or a Christian fasting during lent, or a Muslim for Ramadan, what is so intolerable about letting people...

    How does Kosher or Halal food work?

    The point I was trying to make is that both practices are an important - if not integral - rite of passage for members into their respective faiths. Given such significance and symbolism, neither are ever going to fall into disuse on account of our more modern times. The question of...

    How does Kosher or Halal food work?

    Was there a problem with Google? The OP's argument doesn't really make all that much sense, at least in its application to kashrut law. In a (most basic) nutshell, it's essentially a list of dietary laws outlining which animals are considered treif, and for those that are not, rules governing...

    Toronto Waterlink at Pier 27 | 43.89m | 14s | Cityzen | a—A

    There's always the option of holding onto it to later assign/sell.

    How much do Brokerages charge Agents on Average?

    It should also be noted that agents often have a say in what fees they pay their brokerages when negotiating their contracts. An agent that expects a large volume of deals will certainly push for higher desk fees so that he/she can enjoy a more favorable commission split, whereas a more novice...

    Glas Condos (Lamb Developments) - Real Estate -

    In terms of the layout, I'm concerned about the linear kitchen. While this is often a reality with many of the new (eg. small) condominium units being built these days, in regards to this particularly unit, the washroom right in front of it does exacerbate things. In other open-space units...

    Toronto Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto | 207.86m | 53s | Graywood | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    That's where the interior finishes and amenities come in. ;) In terms of the architecture itself, anything too "grand" risks coming off as rather gaudy. I think they did a phenomenal job with this building; it is respectful to context and exudes a sophisticated elegance in its simplicity. It's...

    How much do Brokerages charge Agents on Average?

    This is not exactly a question that one can really provide a clear-cut answer to. Honestly, it really depends on both the brokerage. Some brokerages offer something as low as a 50/50 split with their agents (Brad J. Lamb Realty comes to mind). While this, at first, does seem to unreasonably...
