In all seriousness, the cartoon rendering just became more realistic.

It looks identical to the first.

is manulife planning on building a new headquarter building in Toronto because they really need to?

Lumiere is 60% sold in a very short time, while M5V is only 35% sold. M5V well only sell well again when it gets aprroved like the Maple Leaf Sqaure...
PLus also in the Star it mentioned Rocp 3 and it said it could start sales in April...

I was just looking at the future rendering of trump in the skyline, and it is awfully close to scotia tower. I think it makes the skyline look a little wierd. Toronto has a mountain style skyline, and with trump so close to scotia it might ruin the mountain look. It would have been beeter if Trump was more centered in the middle of FCP and Scotia!

Yeah your not the first person to notice that -Trump being real close to Scotia. Thats the one & only thing I don't like about Trump.

But if you had the option, would you rather build it where it is or not build it at all?

- The most current rendering is far more realistic. The first rendering was far to cartoonish to make a judgement.

That said....

.....they look identical.

nice building, but it will likely cost a million dollars atleast. That area is so damn expensive but so nice. I think The Building is right beside one.st Thomas.

That area will feature a lot of new upscale condos. Uptown, Hazelton, Regenecy, CrystalBlu, One. St. Thomas, Four Season, Casa, the X, One Bedford, 77 charles Street, One bloor east, many more near the Davenport and Yonge Area. All of that in this area...

oooh la la.. Yorkville.

very posh.

An another subway line to nowhere is being made. Its the smaller finner line on the map. By god, i suck at paint. The funding is secure now.

There is nothing much there, but like the Sheppard line that place will be the next hotspot for condo development.

I heard over 1 billion dollars worth of residental development is planned for sheappard.

Slab "apartment building" for Yonge and Eglinton.

Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of central Toronto residents and employees are ignored.

Nice!!

Can't wait for these babies to go up!!

Steely Dan · #19 Posted **Mar 8, 2007, 8:05 PM**

that's a nice collection of towers there; the fanciful zaniness of the absolute towers and the staightforward sobriety of casa and the X are very good counter points to each other. it's good to see the nice variety. those 3 projects are all especially good.

Unfortunately those towers will be in different cities (Absolute towers are in Mississauga), meaning any visual comparisons will be moot.
