Look what V of E posted at Urban Toronto Forum. - The rumoured Manulife Centre Tower takes a new breath.

I don't have any further updates other than what I reported to you last fall when I had lunch in Miami with Ott and Chen. Carlos I am sure knows who the architect is but he isn't saying . As I previosly said I think it's Foster but thats just my educated guess based on the few facts I know. This project, and I honestly don't know why, is really hush hush. Right now all I can tell you is it's a mixed use tower over 1000ft. and it's going south of Queen Street.

I personally do not have the time to ferret out information on projects the way some of the more industrious members of the forums do as I have a substantial business to run here in Dallas. However I am still very well connected in the architectural & development world and when I receive relevent information on Toronto projects I will gladly pass it on.

This news story caught my eye...
A big chunk marble fell off First Canadian Place today.

[caltrane74]

Other news: apparently Shangri-la Toronto is 80% sold.

that was fast, they just opened the sales office last week. Thats gotta be at least 300 Million dollars of real estate gone in one week.

Can't be serious eh?

[Dr Nevergold]

Glad no one was below.

[Big Daddy]

Has anyone heard any news about the Trump Tower? I can't believe how long this thing has been going on. Is this building ever going to start or are they looking for a way to back out with some dignity still intact?

[caltrane74]

It's moving ahead this fall. the hieght has been reduced to 280 meters.


Financing has been secured and sales have met the threshold for construction to begin.

Highways act like rivers.

Without bridges, what's on the other side might as well be on the Moon.

If you can't walk a neighbourhood, there is NO neighbourhood. This is why traffic engineers must never be allowed to design cities ever again.

[SFUVancouver]

I think we're at a point when an old quote should be updated:

If you should ever meet a traffic engineer at a party, slap him.

[Nunavuter]

Then we're on the same page.
