Anyone hear about a possible Aroma Espresso going in the podium CRU?

I hope not. Their espresso is terrible!

22 Feb 2012--from the shacks of Baldwin/Chinatown to Charlie, proof that there's really two solitudes in downtown:

But Charlie will be better looking and of higher quality. GG is a good, reputable developer.

Are you suggesting Lifetime is not?

 

[egotrippin]

Not in the case of M5V.

This is one of those buildings that shows much better in person than in photographs. The blue-grey brick actually looks quite nice up-close and the glass is more reflective.



Another coffee shop? Yeesh. At this rate King West will be nothing but restos and coffee shops in 10 years.

Heard from someone close to the company that a Noah's Natural Foods will be occupying at least part of Charlie's retail component. That might break up the monotony of Starbucks-Club-Pizza Place-Starbucks-Club-Pizza Place that King West has become.

From today

Can't wait for Ice, l Tower, BAE and Massey to fill in some of those gaps! Sick pictures!

4 March 2012: Imagine another 50-100 condo towers inserted in this view and you've got Toronto ED c.2030.

A few from today.

That last photo is so brooding and sexy.

 

[neuhaus]

interesting that there is a row of spandrel to railing height only on the north facade.

 

[Atlantis]

Today was the first time I'd noticed that spandrel as well, so I thought I'd profile it. Was anyone else expecting it?

 

[SP!RE]

It looks more like metal cladding to me than spandrel glass. I like the different element it adds to the building. It is an odd feature though, given how the rest of the building is floor-to-ceiling window wall.
