Thanks as always Gresto for the props... everyone likes/needs a pat on the back (once or twice a year lol).

The CANADIAN Weather, Politics, Western Canada hockey and Montreal love-fest FORUM is a total lost cause re: skyscrapers on a skyscraper forum....

I mean 3 super-talls underway all at once ... ignored because of their problematic postal code.

But like this compilation... many, many lurkers/viewers... and no comments.

The good news: thanks to a break-through in therapy, I have learned accept the state of the SSP nation as a gathering of thousands of eyeballs on posts but no voices. It's actually still fun to post 'cause I know they are lots of them there hiding behind
those grassy 'scraper knolls.

Not beautiful, but turning out better than most other Empire projects (faint praise ;-).

U of T - The Gateway - 371 Bloor Street West l ?m l ?s l Westbank l planning

Great news that WestBank (who are giving the city 19 Duncan, BIG’s KING Toronto and Mirvish Village) have been chosen to redevelop U of T’s large high-profile site at Bloor and Spadina.

Early plans would see two towers totalling 960,000 sq. ft. of much-needed university housing, academic space @ 220,000 sq. ft. and retail. Westbank are presently shopping for an architectural team.

Site envelope/location:


CBRE

Most of the new build would be behind these existing U of T academic buildings that are ‘heritage listed’.

The same goes for you, koops. You and Maldive dual-handedly keep Toronto updates rolling, and it is appreciated.

After the snow, man they’re killin’ it… another floor pour today. That’s 1. pour a floor, 2. form up and pour the walls and super-columns, then 3. form up and pour another floor ... in under 2 weeks.

Of course the (gold-hued?) super-column and hanger cladding comes with a protective layer so we can’t check out the final colour chosen... grrrrr :-(
