The mercury is rising across the GTA as the summer approaches, and with countless residential and commercial developments as well as infrastructure projects under way in the region, the headlines, dataBase files and Forum posts keep pouring in. With May now in the past, we take a look back at the previous month's top news headlines, dataBase files and Forum threads from the month of May.
News
It's no surprise that our Mirvish+Gehry proposal update story was the most popular of the month; the development will alter how we see our city for years to come. Meanwhile, our trip to the top of Aura tour took the second spot for May, but Great Gulf's One Bloor East is starting to close the readership gap as that 75-storey tower grows taller.
