Taken from Yonge/St.Clair on 30 May. I can see the BlogTO article now: Sherbourne is the new Ossington! 😝

That community centre is great! The rooftop patio has really unique views! The thing about CityPlace is that when it started to be built there wasn’t much around it so it was barren but 20 years later the city has grown up around it.

Creating this as there is a lot going on in this rapidly growing city’s core. Some of these may warrant threads but I will let others decide. The first interesting thing is yet another church expanding uses to stay viable. This is a stunning structure and the area around it is densifying...

I found this interesting. On the London thread of SSP it is being said that an office building at 376 Richmond Street has been sold by court order to a numbered company. It is a smaller structure that will most likely be torn down and developed as residential. I wonder if this is going to become...

In what measures? Besides both cities being on a Great Lake.
