Lakeshore Drive is essentially an at-grade highway hugging Chicago's waterfront. It is not any better than the Gardiner. At least you can walk under the Gardiner to access Toronto's waterfront. Yes Chicago has more spectacular skyscrapers, but Toronto's downtown core is more livable and full of great transit and amenities. If you live in downtown Chicago, you would need a car to have access to a decent grocery store, school, and park.

Nothing in the city should be taller than the CN Tower

@NicholasMoreau

Жыл бұрын

Agreed, but for clarification, this would be significantly smaller than the CN Tower. The first 95 floors would be 1025 feet tall, so 10 more floors would bring it to 1186 roughly. CN Tower is 1815 feet. But CN Tower is considered just a "freestanding structure," not a building, despite it being a building. It *would* be taller than EdgeWalk, the attraction just above the 360 Restaurant, which is 1168 feet.

It's not taller, the reason they call this the "talles building in Canada" is because the CN Tower isn't technically a building, it's a "free-standing structure"

If they are being honest about the prices, 1 mill to 4. That's really not that bad for a building like this, I much prefer this to those extremely thin buildings in new york with 100 stories and 60$ milliion apartments. If it were up to me though, 20% of these buildings floorplan would automatically be subsidized. That would mean less profit, but oh well you made a billion instead of 1.5 billion.

Tourists don't travel to cities in order to see condos. Most of these new builds are characterless eyesores that block the eye lines, without sparking any interest. Hubs outside of Toronto need to be developed. And the governments are decades behind in investing in health care because people can't retire to areas that don't have access to top medical care.
