Here are two pictures of the new 10 floor office building in Pickering I took today on my way home from work. The is where Ontario Power Generation will be. There is suppose to be a pedestrian bridge crossing the 401 being built that will link the GO station to the town centre but it doesn't look like it has started constuction yet.

Construction update of Plaza 88 in New West which for anybody that doesn't already know is the integration of retail, commercial, and condos with the existing New West skytrain station. It has gotta be the largest TOD going up in the country right now:

Here are some pictures of two towers that are being built for a long term health care facility in St. John's.

The picture quality isn't great because they're from by blackberry and the area is fenced in which doesn't help when trying to get a good shot.

Canada. High-rise condo sales hit new record

Sales of highrise condos are stacking up -- the market had its best-ever performance in November, with 2,293 condos sold in the Greater Toronto Area, an increase of 8.4 per cent over the previous year, according to the Building Industry & Land Development Association (BILD). There were also 1,788 single-detached and semi-detached and town house units sold last month. The combined 4,081 units was one per cent higher than sales in November 2009, according to RealNet Canada Inc., BILD's official source. For the year to date, the GTA housing market is ahead of this time last year by 14 per cent.

Ritz: highest-priced condo ever in Quebec

The sale of the penthouse at the Montreal Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Residences might be the highest priced residential transaction ever in Quebec.

But despite selling for $13 million plus taxes, the opulent penthouse at the historic Sherbrooke St. hotel is significantly less expensive than a luxurious unit with similar amenities in Vancouver, or Toronto.

In Toronto's Yorkville district, a 9,000-square-foot penthouse at the Four Seasons hotel and residences -with separate living quarters for staff -is still on the market for a staggering $30 million.

It's the highest-priced condo in the country.

And while condo prices in Montreal are unlikely to catch up to those in Toronto or Vancouver anytime soon, the number of luxury projects here is growing.

Indeed, Sotheby's executive Dave Carson moved from Atlanta to Canada in fall 2009 specifically to develop high-end markets in Quebec and Ontario.

"I think that the interesting thing about Montreal -until recently the $900 to $1,000 a square foot price point was uncommon," said Carson, a vice-president at Sotheby International Realty Canada-Quebec. "That 'shocking price point' is no longer the case. And I suspect that it will only go higher."

The architecture draws on the value of what surrounds it and expands that value beyond the site, well into the campus and the city of Toronto.”"

Here is the render for the site:

A look at the site from the corner of St. George and Hoskin:

The U of T has numerous midblock connections. Here's the view from Massey College towards St. George Street:

And a closer look at the backside of the building and what appears to be the loading dock:

Along the back is a piece of cladding and glass which appears much, much, much darker than what is shown in the above render:
