Walked by today, I hadn't seen the state of the demolition for several weeks so took this pic.

after looking at that pic, I feel lucky to live in Okanagan region, snow melted weeks ago and its sunny with 10c.

That's where you live? I was sure it was Mississauga. You lucky dog. I hope it snows in your valley.

Why would you assume he is from Mississauga?

I assumed ushahid lived in Vernon. Which is lovely, definitely lucky. Though things there I imagine change a bit slower.

F+P is not known for the Jin Mao aesthetic, besides, that's kinda 90s.

That's true, but I think that if something like that was built in Toronto, it would be the most beautiful building in the city.

Not really, Jin Mao is kind of so-so - there are equivalent, if not far better buildings in TO. In any case, we'd be getting something different for this site.

[ProjectEnd]

Toronto Life Piece:

"We’ll be submitting our plans in the first week of March. What you’re going to see is an iconic structure that will be 80 storeys tall. You’re going to see an exoskeletal building. There will be jewellery on the building that creates an artistic weave. You’re going to have something that’s never been done before in Toronto and doesn’t look like any other building in Toronto—or Canada, for that matter."
