God, I've seen waaaaay too many Toronto posts on here

Exactly. I'm pretty sure someone needs to start a couple "outside of Toronto" threads. Cause it's kinda ridiculous that every other city except Calgary gets lost in the sea of Toronto.

If the landscaping is actually as they've depicted, then it will be beautiful!

[jmt18325]

It's Vancouver, so it will probably be beautiful anyway.

[dleung]

Vancouver projects tend to allocate more money towards landscaping.

I'm actually disappointed how few mature trees will remain between the buildings. Too much glass also... and not enough solid stone/wood anchors (that's not to say punched windows, which I despise). I love sloped sites, but hate how some buildings fail to meet the ground and end up floating on a 1-storey high retaining wall (see bottom of render)

Infill build replaces mixed-use, adds residential

TAMARA SHEPHARD|Nov 04, 2011 - 4:40 PM

Thirteen currently commercial and office addresses along Dundas Street West, west of Kipling Avenue and on adjacent Shorncliffe Road will be replaced with an equal amount of commercial space as well as six condominiums, eight highrise towers ranging from 20 to 30 storeys, a 0.4-hectare public park and a new publicly accessible private road network.

Land has also been secured for future subway expansion.

"We're achieving real mixed-use development with this proposal," said Etobicoke-Lakeshore Councillor Peter Milczyn, who represents the area. "A dry cleaners or a convenience store on the ground floor of a building or building strictly residential is not good enough. We need to create employment spaces."

Etobicoke York Community Council Wednesday approved a zoning amendment to allow Dunshorn Holdings Inc. to move forward with its plans for residential and replacement mixed-use commercial retail and office space at 5415, 5421-5429, 5453, 5475 and 5481 Dundas St. W. and 15 and 25 Shorncliffe Rd.

Alder Place owns and intends to develop adjacent properties at 5485 and 5487 Dundas St. W.

Some $1.25 million will be used to create a new park on the Dunshorn site on the south side of Dundas and/or for improvements to Cloverdale Park north of Dundas on Shaver Avenue. Alder Place will contribute another $250,000 to do the same.

More Doug Ford LOL'z

Etobicoke North Councillor Doug Ford expressed enthusiasm at the project. He said he wished for similar projects in his ward.

"I'd kill to have someone give me $1.5 million to help develop north Etobicoke," he said. "It's fabulous. Will it increase property values? Yes. Does it have parkland? Yes. It's a win-win."

http://homesandcondosblog.com/home/in-development-324-richmond-st-west-5062.html

IN DEVELOPMENT: 324 RICHMOND ST. WEST

With that in mind, it looks like we have lost yet another parking lot, as 324 Richmond St. West has joined the long list of sites that are scheduled to become condominiums. Simply based on a concept submitted to the City of Toronto, it would appear that Greenpark Homes has some very intriguing plans for the site.

In those plans, Greenpark is asking for permission to construct a 29-storey tower that will hold 328 suites. The development will be home to 140 parking spaces in a 4-level underground parking garage. Greenpark has hired Core Architects to design the tower, and based on preliminary ideas, it will add a very cool and unique vibe to Richmond St.

[MTLskyline]

Phase 1 of the Bassins will apparently be complete for Spring 2013. Griffintown will almost be unrecognizable at that point!

(One thing that irks me is the low-level of density (http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=45.493834,-73.575189&ll=45.491886,-73.570912&spn=0.003949,0.010568&sll=45.493802,-73.575218&layer=c&cbp=13,75.7,,0,9.78&cbll=45.491488,-73.570092&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=0&panoid=CBjn6LPjC_URu_7whvwloA) in between Griffintown and the downtown core... The ETS buildings, are much too short given the huge amount of land they take up. As are all those 3-story yellow brick condos that look liked they were ripped out of Saint-Hubert circa 1987).

1000 Bay is a turd on prime land. The tower might be tolerable if the corny wrap arounds were omitted.
The podium looks decent though.

It might not be as beautiful as Shangri-La on University Ave., but as a resident I'd rather have the copious outdoor space provided by the wrap around baclonies. In other words, from an aesthetic perspective, I'd rather look at something smooth and sleek like Shangri-La. Meanwhile, I'd rather live in something like 1000 Bay.

Toronto Sun’s King Street building getting new look

Tristin Hopper Nov 8, 2011 – 5:36 PM ET

Following the long-standing Toronto tradition of adding glass expansions to old buildings, next week First Gulf Corporation is set to begin work on this addition to the Toronto Sun building at 333 King Street East.

When completed, the three-storey addition will house the headquarters of Coca-Cola Canada.

The 36-year-old building currently houses the offices of Toronto Sun and 24 Hours – as well as a recently-opened facility for George Brown College.

They're building a new major stadium for it and everything dude :P

Winnipeg just didn't have the level of growth in the 90s, nor has ever had the amount of investment that the GTA has. I guess they just figure that they know they can sell the units once the games are over, so might as well build some shiny new towers to show off. :)

Toronto wants the olympics badly, and I think we think that this will prove that we are ready for 2024 :D

Obviously after the games, they're gonna sell the units. - This is all show for the Olympics which is what the city really wants anyways.

Edmonton - RUMOUR ALERT

44 storey condo named 'whitehall'

no other details at the moment

44 @ ~10' floor to floor = 440' or 146.67m... interesting for that is just about as tall as you can go under the overlay.

I would have to think CBD or just south or south>?

What the heck is that? I read the article, but I can't even begin to comprehend what is going on in that image. Is there any other renderings?

Is this in an industrial park? Also, is this some architectural design competition entry, where no one takes the practicality seriously?

You realize that the Pan American Games are a very big deal in the other 38 countries in America beyond Canada and the United States, right? Rio de Janeiro's 2007 Pan American Games spending and infrastructure were good enough to hold a Summer Olympics.

Winnipeg's 1999 hosting efforts were a bit disrespectful to PASO, to be honest. You host a continent, and you put people up in people's houses, really? Toronto's plans are more appropriate than what Winnipeg put together.
