Glad to hear it. While a nice utopian idea, this was an unfinanceable live-work blob that was never going to happen in its past form .

Does anyone know if there is there a rentable event space in this complex? Any link to the programming or floorplans would be helpful.

This is owned by Fitzrovia and approved (zoned) for a 4th building as part of their 6 Dawes land holdings. No timeline for development.

Rental construction starts in Toronto are the lowest in 9 quarters. All of Toronto only has the equivalent of a small town in rentals being built, a fraction of what is needed. Any large-scale rental project that has weathered the interest rate storm and made it to construction in this climate...

File this under the same header as the fictitious Niagara Falls proposals. Unproven group won't be able to syndicate financing for this and get it through to construction. I just don't see it happening, sorry.
