I wonder what will be resale prices of these condos after it becomes obvious, that this building is unlivable.

Construction started without fanfare.

It will be possible to live there without car when subway is extended to East Mall. Which may take another 40 years. Or a lot of car sharing.

What would we do without drones and neighboring high-rises......

This baby will outgrow its parents soon.

These columns really are massive. Even though they get thinner on higher floors.

4 years ? May be, if all possible corners are cut just to get the first building ready. Or builders may put shovels into ground ... and leave them there for long time. My guess, 5-6 years for the first building, 12-15 years for the whole block.

It took many years to build BRT. And for all I see, it's not heavily used.

Chick is hatching ...

How these problems were/are addressed in other high-rises like Aura or 1 Yonge ?

I respectfully disagree. Development in central Etobicoke is going at snail pace. Infrastructure has plenty of time to catch up.

Update. Value Village store is alive and kicking. I talked to some employees. They know nothing about closure.

So many East Mall projects ( # 900, 600, 580 ) were proposed, and went nowhere. Same on the West Mall. Increased population will force TTC to improve bus service there. Currently, buses run half-empty with 20 min interval. Let's pray Gods of Development for a breakthrough.

Considering city policies and (hopefully) no NIMBYs around there, how long planning and approving could take ?

Not many changes during the last year.
