Another installment of Arnotti's One Trick Pony.
More buildings - not necessarily heritage, but heritag-ish at least - doing the condo gondo routine.
Bistro 990 is an iconic eatery frequented not by the likes of me, but by people much more fancified than I am. A regular Toronto Film Festival hang out.
Gone!
Sutton Place Hotel > Condo!Across the street, an iconic hotel, this time. Just steps from the Mink Mile.
At least here they are leaving most of the building and just converting hotel rooms to condos.
Oh yeah, they are adding an additional nine floors.
I guess to help it fit in with its towering neighbours.
Sort of gone!
Bizzaro! > Condo!Hmmmm....guess they are running out of new designs for all these condos.
Whatever was there before is....gone!
Newspaper Box > Condo!A (small) one bedroom condo going up here.
All the news is....gone!
78 Stories > Condo!
I believe this is slated to be the (for now) tallest condo in Toronto, at 78 stories.
Now zooming in on the hoarding around this site, lower right, circle.....
I hope the engineers build buildings better than the marketers make signs....
And in a little spot that I thought was definitely safe from condomania, they are putting not one, not two, but three condos.
Right near Air Canada Centre, Skydome and Union Station, so they wedge them in anywhere/everywhere. And as Toronto just announced its first 300 square foot condo (301 actually) they can probably pack a lot of them in.
And packing them in everywhere is true. Toroto has more condos under construction than any city in North America. Who's buying all these things?

Forget about who's buying them, who are going to live in them, where are they coming from,and how can they afford them??
Welcome to Hong Kong! I'll post something to show you what you can expect.
Buying a condominium unit is a very important decision to make and being able to read this article helped me a lot in making a decision.
