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.

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.

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.

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.

These 10,000 square foot urban format stores are luxurious compared to the neighbourhood grocer my mother dragged me to as a child. That plays against mom and pops that can't afford the fit and finishes or square footage.

One they are building in Waterloo. Different architect. https://waterlooregionconnected.com/showthread.php?tid=1595&page=13

I'm not sure how you can realistically improve all modes within the existing surface infrastructure framework and the rapid increase in number of travellers as the population grows. Widening sidewalks and adding bike lanes will remove lanes of traffic and that need to remove lanes of traffic may...

annoyance stemming from not being good at that.

It's annoying how Dollarama's packaging is smaller than everyone else's. It gives a false impression of a cheaper price.

A million people are still expected to come to Canada in 2025. There's plenty for everyone.

Imbedded brick tiles have the warmth and texture unlike painted stamped concrete because it is real brick. There just the long seams where panels meet and the brick courses looks too perfect. "Perfect" has greater meaning as hand laid installations, on average, look sloppier and sloppier every...

The dying landscaping is perfect. The above post may be the first positive post about anything Liberty Village ever posted on Skyrise and Liberty Village has been under development for 20 years.

Much of that is faux brick. Pre-cast panels with a stamped brick pattern stained red post installation. It doesn't look like brick in person. The building on the left may have actual brick tiles embedded in pre cast panels. That's much better albeit too uniform and the seams between the panels...

The Feds continuing to be oblivious to the affordable housing crisis. Supply chains are already strained with the record amount of housing development and investors have turned zoning into a commodity. It's laughable to acknowledge inspiration from the post war program which built small...

The name "Reds" is sliced and diced with the new structure. They did a crap job if it is intentional to keep it. I'd rather now have it removed with something new painted that works with the space. A retro style 4th Street Lofts sign like the retro style Reds

How many 50s era office blocks are around? That's what makes this basic block stand out. There's enough spandrel glass, ACP, EIFs designs around.

It would have been cheaper and more pleasing to leave the first floor alone than to reclad it in "The Hat" aluminum panel colours. This isn't about costs at all. It's about choices made.
