Typical City of Toronto. Instead of welcoming and bending over backwards to attract office development. They give a bunch of bullshit reasons... maybe they are right but will the developer still build or say "fuck off" we don't need this shit, it's cheaper in <INSERT AMERICAN CITY HERE>. Where office towers are actually welcomed and get incentives to build. Toronto belives an incentive is to raise their taxes and the like.

That sounds cool though, especially that technology center (whatever that is) with an office development on top. This is gonna look great. Btw, will that office building be taller than neighbouring Simcoe Place?

"the sleek black one"


That has a good ring to it...we don't have any sleek "black ones". maybe it will look like a shorter Trump World Tower.

I'm still wondering what that technology center with office tower will look like. According to the descriptions it sounds fairly interesting.
