I doubt this is still happening though is it ? This was office space no ?

I love the resident association's logic ... so 1/3rd affordable ownership isn't a sustainable model ... no worries we have the perfect solution for you ... 100% affordable rental ... yes, clearly that is much more sustainable. Killing with kindness indeed.

Ah, thanks a ton for the explanation, that makes a lot more sense now !

I'm a little surprised by the massing of the buildings - it seems like a lot of space ? I thought most of the city offices are consolidated downtown at this point. The public amenities (e.g. swimming pools, day care, library, ...) make sense for sure but does anyone know the square footage...

Really my only issue is the fact we're getting a much smaller science center - with that said, a lot of the science center was open space / greenery / outdoor sections - so purely from an exhibit space perspective it's not clear to me how much different it really is ? Side note, I loved the...

You are so wrong ... The city will 100% write you up for that (unless you can claim a religious exemption potentially ... I kid you not ...) - fire inspections are a different animal from 10 years ago - anything and everything is cited - I can go on about this ad nauseam ... The other reason...

Looking at this image below curtesy of this UT news story. A few questions. On the north east portion of the site there is seemingly a double bridge , is that replaced with a single bridge at this point ? Is there still work required to connect the new inlet with the Keating channel and don...

Paywall unfortunately, but I can extrapolate the details from the snippet above. I'm still a little surprised - clearly it's a non development site so that's a factor but it's such a prime and iconic location. Maybe if the building needs a lot of maintenance though that could explain it.

Did the flatiron building sell for the same price it did 13+ years ago?

I do think this is great news overall - may help to make it more of a destination as intended !

Note a single lease ? Or anything subsational you mean ? This build offers vary wide floor plates so I think that would be attractive to some tenants. But of course it's not in the "core" per se - probably need to consider lowering asking rents.

These bridges, while not overly complex in design, I think will be landmarks - I can't even imagine they were that costly - kudos to the design team behind these !

Before we all get too excited - check out the prices of the units here (mind you they are very large) but this is very much a luxury development so I don't see this repeating unfortunately

Is this actually a huge surprise ? Were the numbers pre-pandemic - if so, I've seen costs jump anywhere from 20-60% depending on the type of work (speaking from the perspective of capital projects in a condominium) - this is backed by CCI presentations and the like.

Whatever happened with this, did the park actually open ?

It truly does ! My big fear though, will it actually be a success ? I'm not so sure about that yet. The good news being the built form is done regardless of the financial viability i.e. we win :)

This isn't actually going to start construction anytime soon is it ? And no, running is great for you, don't listen :) - sure if you're running 50KM a week you need to take some care but even then ...

It's interesting as opensky with more greenery even looks like it would have been a cheaper option.

Is that a construction site ? :) I jest.

Agreed completely and this area i.e. NYCC - restaurants tend to do really well (yes there are nuances here i.e. what type and the like) - look at how many there are between Finch and Sheppard ... also note how few vacancies ... compare that too many other areas in the city ... so the potential...
