    Thanks for the info. My first thought was that the project may be going the way of Korman House.

    The on site sales office has been "temporarily" closed for the past 3 weeks. Anyone know what's going on?

    I was looking on the internet for a status of this project, but can't really find anything - most sites state Pre-Construction status. I know that the developers increased the height after Queen/ Sherbourne was short-listed as a stop for the proposed relief line, so approvals will likely be...

    Moss Park / Queen & Sherbourne

    It's amazing how design of condos plays into the safety and discouragement of illicit activity. I'm just south of Richmond, on Sherbourne and the rise of IV drug use has increased dramatically in and around our building. We had a group meeting with the police and the Officer said that the...

    I'm not sure how, under "Possible Deal Breaker", they did not mention location, location, location! Maybe the new buyers will be betting on the Moss Park Redevelopment plan that is going before council??

    Moss Park / Queen & Sherbourne

    Things have been accelerating in the past 3 months - three shootings and a stabbing in the immediate area. The latest shooting was this morning inside Alfies, which is notorious for drug activity. I really like living where I do (Sherbourne between Richmond and Adelaide) but I have to remind...

    Moss Park / Queen & Sherbourne

    You bring up a good point. When they cleaned up St. James park, they did not have to deal with shelters immediately adjacent. In this case, there are a few including the Maxwell Meighen (Salvation Army) which is the second biggest one in the city and directly across the street. It's not going...

    Getting a clearer idea of what is being proposed. A welcome addition and innovative design elements! Let's get this moving :) http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2016/09/moss-park-redesign-impresses-and-divides-design-review-panel

    Moss Park / Queen & Sherbourne

    Thanks for sharing the article! I think the process and proposal (although very early) has made genuine attempts to be inclusive. But you can't satisfy everyone so there will always be those resistant to change. Imagine what this area of the city could be 10-15 years from now with a...

    Moss Park / Queen & Sherbourne

    There certainly is a mix of demographics in the area, and that is changing rapidly. I'm all for making an attempt to accommodate as large a cross section as possible, as challenging as that appears. But if drug dealers, drug users and sex workers are pushed out in the process, I will be glad...

    Moss Park / Queen & Sherbourne

    One group opposing the redevelopment of Moss Park made the following statement: If the city and The 519 were to meet the needs of the community, redevelopment of the park and community centre must: 1) facilitate the ability of homeless people to sleep in the park and area. 2) facilitate the...

    Moss Park / Queen & Sherbourne

    I guess my hangup isn't just safety. I don't really want to go to a park to relax and lean up against a tree that has just been urinated on.

    Moss Park / Queen & Sherbourne

    I recently moved to the area - on Sherbourne between Richmond and Adelaide. Just have a few rules I follow: 1) I usually stay south of Richmond when walking between Jarvis and Sherbourne (especially at night). 2) When I walk to work (near the Eaton Centre), I walk west on Richmond until Church...
