it's going to be dull like the Empire building it neighbours. Only theirs was painted so they get the matte finish.

also one of the sketchiest. my guess is the unhoused population made this no longer feasible for Petro Canada - customers won't keep stopping for gas if they're going to be harassed for money and I can only imagine what the staff have to deal with. The Esso at Front and Sherbourne only sold to...

Lines up with my guess - Porsche moves to new location early summer, demo begins by mid summer.

Don't disagree. Living in Bayside and walking through the PATH on a regular basis, I've seen my fair share of businesses open and close due to lack of business though: Nforno, Gong Cha, Thisel and Popeyes to name a few just in Bayside. Food halls are busy at very specific times of the day and...

I think something like this is in the works in the Mccleary district as an adaptive reuse of the old power plant. Also, what'chu got against Pizza Hut? 😂

not entirely wrong, but I think WT has done a good job of building livable neighbourhoods with parks, schools, and community centres. I think where they missed the boat - but have done some things recently to right the wrong, like take most of the WELRT development into their fold - was on...

Exactly why I'm so disappointed - they basically rolled over for QILP. No one thinking about what the market will be like 3-5 years from now...just focused on the now.

No one was presenting anything other than facts - no wishful thinking. In fact, I don't want more tourists down on this end of the waterfront, so I would prefer the pools not be installed. But, the plan - with the pools - has gone through issues identification (where the pool locations were...

Has anyone ever called you a contrarian? LOL. Every post I make you seem to reply with a contrarian view... As I said, it's unfunded, but they are still showing the pools as part of the plan on WT's site: https://www.waterfrontoronto.ca/our-projects/parliament-slip

Still part of the plan - pretty sure most recent renders are on WT site. Pools made slightly bigger, more (smaller) vendor stalls, docks for water taxi’s / sea bus all part of the (unfunded) plans.

Occupancy permits can be given out for specific areas/floors of a building, but if other things in the building are not ready (ex. fire suppression, fire alarm, HVAC, etc.) then they won't get occupancy permit to open any of it.

That’s exactly it - by going to ARF as the main component, everything had to cheapen.

Sherbourne Common is almost 10 years old now - the fact that most of what’s east of there hasn’t been redeveloped should tell you enough about how slow this process has been.

Ok, just making sure LOL. But a lot of the reviews and checks are done post RFP/selection so if you start off with a crappy proposal, it only gets worse from there.

No where did I say the Sidewalk proposal was better - I was simply clarifying that no, the development of this area was NOT timely. But since you went there, are you saying why we got was superior to the original Sidewalk land development? (Solely based on development and architecture and NOT...
