No pictures for this one simply because I had company and no time...... But the reviews were sufficiently glowing that I thought it merited discussion. Roasted Pork Tenderloin, with caramelized onion and fennel, and smoked rice, with a Chipotle-Orange Sauce over the top. The details...

The question above got me to wondering about the states of residential occupancy here, so I decided to check in on the asking rents for the market units. But first, to answer @Edward Skira, No. Not all buildings have reached residential occupancy, 2 have, the rest are pending, as is much...

@ProjectEnd would know better than I..... but I'm hearing something in the range of 45-60 units sold out of 246. So just under 20% to maybe 24% I don't know Curated's books, but assuming this is being financed typically, those sales are nowhere near enough to green light construction...

The Star has an article out on the EA from 2017 that I linked above. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/doug-ford-wants-jets-at-billy-bishop-heres-what-is-at-stake-for-torontos-waterfront/article_9c37f6c6-e9bc-4b44-846b-a6b7d0dfe635.html From the above: ** These are the current flight...

Accurate. Its targeted at HNI (high net income people, who, will be end-user owners) Not accurate. See The Bedford as another example of units in this immediate area, targeted at the luxury market, moving well. See @ProjectEnd 's post above. In this case I know he's right; but in...

I did note the above seemed a plausble outcome, ....back when: (err, July 2024) This bit is interesting ;) :

More elaborate than the suggestion I dropped awhile ago for photo-taking at a certain site; but well played!

On the subject of that...... I have a couple of posts of interest over in the Billy Bishop thread. The 2017 EA for Jets, commissioned by the Port Authority has now been made public on the website of Waterfront For All. I will have more to say in due course, but have provided links and some...

Over on the Waterfront for All site, they have posted the complete EA for Jets, commissioned by the Port Authority in 2017. Their front page is here: https://www.waterfrontforall.ca/ The Direct Links to the EA are here, in 4 chunks: Part 1: (page 1 to page 64)...

This is the existing approved Villiers Precinct Plan: To have a sense of the impacts on height, you would need to refer to this report in which Ports effectively got a settlement of 309 Cherry (original address) reopened to push several heights down...

I won't extend this unduly either, except to say, I sincerely disagree w/the characterization of the area 'feeling dead'. I spend a fair bit of time in the area for a non-resident, and I've found it consistently busy. The parks are well patronized, lots of people out walking and biking...

Yes, several have reached occupancy. I'm not privy to all the numbers building by building, but generally, uptake of long-term (resident) bike parking in said new builds is well below 50% This varies, of course, with some areas seeing higher uptake, and some lower; but generally, it has...

SPA is in here.............. And maybe, just maybe...... @ProjectEnd and I were persuasive..... The building now has 2 elevators, instead of 1! :) Old AIC Link: http://app.toronto.ca/AIC/index.do?folderRsn=5793653 Still at 8s, 64 units. Regrettably, sigh, the podium/base facade is...

I think Front Street serves as the retail 'high street' for the area, its a mere 1 block away. The retail has a couple of patches on Front, but is mostly continuous from Scott to Berkley The Esplanade also has a showy restaurant row west of Market, and, of course, the St Lawrence market on...

If the concrete doesn't require evening/leveling and you use a simple anchor system, you can do this for $150-$400, including professional install, per bollard. (generally around $70 per ft2) but the fancier you get (ie, adding hand rails, back supports, waterfalling the slats over the edge or...
