    Stampede Hotel | 45m | 12s | Truman | NORR

    Does the industrial laundry include an underground Meth lab? Like in the show, laundry gets outsourced nowadays. If this rendering is going to be built than I expect a second phase with a slightly taller tower for the price and the number of units. Nice tower. The podium could use more windows.

    Crown Surplus | 20.36m | 6s | KN

    The hidden parking is still a lost opportunity for landscaping which becomes more and more valued with denser builds. Lamb is above average when it comes to design. Quality is another matter. Not among the worse. At best, average.

    Plaza | 109m | 33s | Cantiro | GEC

    It's a boxy spandrel glass tower with red spandrel panels being a plus. It will still comes down to the aesthetic quality of the window wall. Units are on the small side but, not terribly tight. That doesn't include the large one bedroom corner penthouses. Efficient layouts with every bedroom...

    Nest | 40.23m | 15s | Cairo Development | Casola Koppe

    The first one matches the structure. The second one is alot more palatable. This is your building if you're into black and white . I have been long hoping for the trend to go away.

    Nest | 40.23m | 15s | Cairo Development | Casola Koppe

    Can we go by the renderings? The massing has changed. The articulated front facade is now a flat facade on a box.

    There's too much money vs an honest job for harsher penalties to discourage people to get in the business if the demand remains and also supply is in Canada. Keeping it out of Canada when a coffee can of Fentanyl is equal to a cube van of other drugs feels like an impossible endeavour.

    I would call most if not all of these designs contemporary. Replacing the Hardie Board with corresponding brick colours wouldn't change the architectural style. Glazed lime brick would look awesome. The lentils and cornices are contemporary in design and could be a practical reason to include...

    4th Street Lofts | 97m | 29s | Western Securities | Gibbs Gage

    Fair amount of choice. E and F swap kitchen and living room.

    Those are examples of structural reuse than heritage preservation. The horrors of freezing a street in time. Continued redevelopment through intensification gets tiresome. Everything new over layered growth also feels artificial. 80% of Manhattan is not open to redevelopment which has turned...

    Nest | 40.23m | 15s | Cairo Development | Casola Koppe

    In and out privileges aren't normally included with off site hotel parking. Imagine that for your actual home. Building underground parking takes time and costs a fortune fewer homeowners can afford. Podium parking structures for high rises are usually really ugly. The best examples still...

    Broadway on 17th | 154m | 47s | Vesta | Zeidler

    There are towers in Toronto still built with 8 foot ceilings. I guess it can work for 9 feet. 47 * 3 is 141 leaving 11 metres for the extra floor heights and the mechanical

    Kings by LaCaille | 113m | 35s | LaCaille Group | S2

    I like the sidewalk trees. Another spandrel heavy glass box with balconies positioned to maximise the interior layout. The neighbourhood desperately wants something grander than an engineered multi-family high rise for 500 people. Do something architectural with the cantilevered balconies if...

    Broadway on 17th | 154m | 47s | Vesta | Zeidler

    Guardians are not the tallest. The drawings for West Village Towers were 500 feet tall. Does this include the elevator core and parapet walls? 499 feet with 47 floors would be tight for standard 9 foot ceilings, the higher commercial floors and, the double height penthouse amenity.

    Teck Place Conversion | 44m | 10s | Cidex Group | NORR

    Adequate job retaining the essence of the original. However, cheap spandrel window wall replacing the original curtain wall and looking nothing like it being called incredible and perfect perservation is a sad joke. Budgetary constraints is a reality but, if we are going to excuse everything on...

    More people in Lululemon tights. Life is awesome.

    I'm confident you'll win the lottery cashing out as long as you pick the right time. Canada will crash before 2050.

    Nest | 40.23m | 15s | Cairo Development | Casola Koppe

    No clue on stability or soundproofing. This open plan is adaptable to, for example, combining two units. The majority of high rise units with concrete walls separating units are not.

    A ferris wheel attached to a hotel that dips down into an aquarium and a roof top pool bar at the top. Need your help on the food hall.

    Eau Claire Place II | 68m | 17s | Pacific Reach

    Which one is spending more on optional exterior improvements? It wasn't an option to convert the mechanical penthouse to residential without replacing the cladding. The Hat's ground floor reclad wasn't necessary. That cost alot more per foot than painting the concrete.
