Once Kingsett got 510 Yonge settled in 2022, the angular plane has not really not being adhered to by anyone anymore. 645, 646 and 699 Yonge, and 15 Charles not following it. I understand 15 Charles settled with city last fall cutting right through the angular plane, but maintained the angled...

Interesting observation from folks on twitter regarding tower floor plate size. If you account for 1.8m corridor widths, you're left with about 13.87m of saleable space - roughly about 6.9m for each unit. Which is actually somewhat reasonable. It's not ideal since most of your units may end up...

That's fair that Ramsden isn't under the same level of threat, but Jesse Ketchum for example is - also a protected park. And they allowed a lot of shadowing on there in recent years. All I was saying is that I am seeing the City being a bit more permissive when it comes to shadowing on parks...

I'm not going to comment on the built form, density or value of sun protected parks, but isn't Ramsden Park also considered a "Sun Protected Park" in TOcore, like Allan Gardens (Except that it doesn't have a SASP associated w/ it)? And the city has recently taken a surprising, but welcome...

The OLT order was issued in summer of 2022 with the City's bylaw following in Sept 2022 - https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/bylaws/2022/law1208.pdf. I understand that you cannot go back to the city to open up a rezoning within 2 years of securing your original/initial zoning approval, which would...

It cannot be more than 400/500 square feet if I'm being honest. I walked by yesterday, but unfortunately didn't get a chance to snap a pic. I'll try and get one next time I'm there and share w/ the group

This site saw demo/utility disconnects/site work activity late least year and early 2023 - but since the summer I have not seen much going on. I do wonder if Fitzrovia is a little overleveraged considering all their projects at the moment (or they are taking a short break here to focus on other...

Piece of cake in today's market. I'm sure bidders are lining up

Yup. I think they spent over $30m on the assembly at roughly 125K SF GFA. So high $200/buildable. I assume they'd be looking for north of $300/buildable to make their money back and a bit of profit

The urban design guideline for the area is actually from 2004 as shown in the footer of the PDF. Which makes it even more out of date and probably redundant today given the changes the area has experienced as of late, including TOcore (despite concordance requirements by the city) 2017 is the...

Picked up 808 Mt Pleasant, 820 Mt Pleasant and 247/249 Roehampton for $74.5m, representing a buildable/sf of about $213... seems a little high unless I am missing something

Sales office for Maison Wellesley consolidated with Centricity Condos at 241 Church (former Esso gas station) - northeast corner of Church and Dundas. Occupancy anticipated for 2027 I think they are looking to release limited suites now, with formal launch targeted for spring 2024

Good question - I also wondered why and how. Perhaps because the zoning was settled during summer of 2023 - https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2023.CC6.5. Though there may be some conditions to still clear with the city and going back to the OLT for final and binding zoning...

This is interesting - I would not have expected the billionaires row buildings in Manhattan to face losses in the $1b range, but I can't say I'm surprised. We all know half the units in those buildings are sitting empty, though someone does own them. The One could easily head in that direction...

It looks like Knightsbridge DC is overtaking as PM

Aside from the first tree east of Cherry, the rest look pretty OKish (from Aug 2023 Google Streetview). But they do not look great. Interestingly enough they do not look as healthy as the trees on the south side of Front (which get less sunlight).

There we go!

Not sure what they are doing with trees along north side of Front Street, immediately east of Cherry. They seemed pretty healthy this summer...

They are ready to install the Google logo on the building today. I saw the massive letters on Colborne Street around 8 am. I didn't manage to snap a pic but will try to get one later and share with group
