both of those Dundas proposals look great....Dundas is a street in Toronto, right?

Recognized the CN Tower in the first picture I take it? Very clever

Love this. Love the area (need a subway station badly. Maybe phase 2 of Ontario line will extend to here). If I were to ever buy a house, it will be in the Junction, Roncy or Leslieville.

Nice brick design with a perfect width. More of those please

1.2 million square foot studio complex is enormous. I wonder if it the plan is to build it all at once. 150 to 250,000 is typically the largest studio investment.

Gorgeous brickwork indeed. Beautiful project.

2760 Dundas West looks great! Properly scaled at street level too instead of the standard wall of glass treatment.

I love the Junction but it's kind of a weird area - technically it's very well served by transit and not far of a walk from higher-order lines (subway and GO). But *just* far enough it's kind of a pain. People I know who've worked up there in bars/restaurants have noted they have a lot more locals than in other areas - and at larger places increasingly the "younger parents with expensive stroller" set.

A few more renders of St Lawrence Centre's Redevelopment Proposal #1. This was one of my least favorites but it's growing on me a bit.

Wouldn't even necessarily need to be on the Ontario line - a GO stop added to the Milton line at Keele would be nice. IIRC there will be a stop added at St. Clair on the Kitchener line as part of GO RER. Though that's a bit outside of the "core" of the Junction (but still slightly closer than Keele or Dundas West stations).

As an aside, I've always liked the idea of running the Milton line along the rail corridor parallel to the fast-developing Dupont corridor, through to Summerhill (and then taking it further east to Thorncliffe and Don Mills.

WhipperSnapper · #**20048** Posted **Feb 28, 2023, 4:08 PM**

Are there plans for the Milton line to be all day? It's owned by CP outside the 416.

GeneralLea · #**20049** Posted **Feb 28, 2023, 5:27 PM**

That'd be news to me. I don't recall plans for the Milton line to expanded much beyond it's current schedule to due to their arrangement with CP.

New renderings of what is touted as the world's tallest passive house. CURV.

Very Tokyo-esque vibes in look, feel and interiors.

Love it.

60 storeys, looks like it could rival for Vancouver's tallest.

O-tacular · #**20053** Posted **Feb 28, 2023, 6:00 PM**

Really liking the variety of tower designs in Vancouver lately. Probably the most diverse in the country.

It's among the tallest towers in downtown Vancouver although it's roughly 20m shorter than the Shangri-la. Burnaby, Surrey and even New West have towers planned or already under construction that will be taller.

LeftCoaster · #**20055** Posted **Feb 28, 2023, 6:30 PM**

It's also at the highest point downtown so it will probably be the same height above sea level as Shangri-La, despite being 20m shorter.

Something vulvic called passive ... such a wonderful world.

Don't forget the VAG!

WhipperSnapper · #**20058** Posted **Feb 28, 2023, 6:46 PM**

I don't see the resemblance. I'd run for the hills if it looked like that.

Definite Tokyo vibes. Something that tall and that massive in skinny Vancouver. Wow. like an Arcology

JHikka · #**20059** Posted **Feb 28, 2023, 6:47 PM**

It reminded me of Absolute World, honestly, and I mean that in a good way.

The projects look nothing alike. You made a joke about the tower looking 'vulvic' so I was joking about the name of Vancouver's art gallery.
