I am currently working on a design proposal for a condo to be built on the waterfront by a local developer. After seeing a poll in the Toronto Star on May 16 asking: Is it time to stop building condos on the waterfront? with 85% of the votes going to yes, I decided to take a new direction with my proposal.
Frankly, I am apart of the 85% who feel its time to stop building condos; the last thing we need in Toronto is another condo. For this reason, I have decided to submit a proposal to not build a condo at all. It will be a plea to build something new and avoid the current trend of mindless condo development and instead construct a structure the city actually wants and needs.
So, Toronto what do we need more of? What does this city lack? (Especially at the waterfront) What issues concern you most and what would you like done about them?
Scott has been introduced to the rave scene, and Ecstasy, by Craig. The two of them go out on the weekends, with some of Craigs friends, and stay up all night, dancing in a drug-fueled trance.

during doors open my sister and i toured the Robertson building here in TO. its a building (green friendly) that rents out offices to businesses that don't need a lot of space. they share things like kitchens, secretaries, meeting spaces. its was really nice (david suzuki has an office there).
the roof was also all plants.
and they had a living wall too (inside) that was cool

It's going to be difficult to build anything other than a condo downtown. but, it would be great to incorporate some greenery into the design. Inner courtyard with grass. plaza/shopping space with trees and gardens. Somebody needs to set the new standard for community designs in the city. Good luck with your proposal.

How about a new restaurant, with a good enough concept it could be quite successful. I happen to have a good concept for restaurant, but im saving it for when i am able to make money off it.

I agree. A sustainable residential development would be beneficial for Toronto. A mixed use development could be interesting because of the waterfront, with even a sustainable food concept restaurant or something.

if we had a far better public transit system we probably wouldn't need as many condos or such rampant intensification
