No. It means Great Eagle is a full party to the proceedings and can participate fully. However, it appears that no other group sought any kind of status before the OLT.

Some more glass in on the tallest.

You’re right it doesn’t say “permit issued”. Getting impatient!

Looks like the last zoning review was closed on July 5, so I think they have all their permits. I emailed Marcheleos to ask what’s going on, but haven’t heard from them. Fingers crossed that construction starts soon and might be done by winter!

Finally becoming quite visible above the heritage.

Yesterday.

Urban Capital seems to be getting less ambitious over time, and I can tell you they’re an organizational disaster. I wouldn’t count on great projects from them going forward, sadly.

Even more annoying to me is the random, “static” arrangement of the panels. It means nothing, conveys nothing; it lacks humanity. Are the architects really so devoid of imagination that they couldn’t use a pattern? Or, if it is some purposeful design, it’s completely unintelligible.

There‘s nothing sketch about this area. It’s King and George in Old Town / St. Lawrence. If anything it’ll be going at a premium.

I I am interested to know about the staging of things after the tunnel boring machine is launched at this location. Will Metrolinx need both parcels for the entire build of the OL for staging (meaning no development will happen until the late 2020s)? Or, once the TBM is launched, will space...

It’s a good effort with some interest, but I wish they’d given the gold panelling treatment to all the larger inset areas on the street facing side. It would have added so much to the aesthetic.

I’m pretty sure it’s already open and accepting new patients. Great service to have in an area full of animals! I’ll also mention that Canary Dental on Front is great. Once the grocery store and a LCBO (I pray to the liquor gods) go in, every basic service will be within a short walking distance.

Oof what is this abomination. Why is it 17 different buildings?!

I I have literally no position on the decision, I’m simply commenting that there is a well-reasoned logic to the judge’s reasons - they are not out of thin air or a fiction. If you read the statues appended to the reasons, it is fairly clear to me that there is a difference between the legal...

I I apologize, that sounded condescending. I read the entire judgement and basically it boils down to there being two different processes. The proper way to challenge a heritage designation is by making an appeal of the designation or the refusal of a demolition permit under the Heritage Act...

Y You are obviously not a lawyer. Sometimes form is all that matters in the law. If the OLT was not in fact empowered to consider the substance of the heritage designation, the OLT decision would set a wrong precedent that would apply to all future planning decisions. The City was basically...

I tend to agree that this was not the original intention of s. 37 funds, which were meant to fund community-wide improvements and neighbourhood beautification. Affordable housing, as a basic necessity, should be paid for by all levels of government out of general tax revenues as are things like...

This is going to be so hideous. The idea of over-cladding the building in the name of indigenous cultural expression is absurd, and I don’t think is what UNDRIP ever intended.

Tower is pretty good (except the south side, unfortunate choices in window wall with nothing to break it up) but the podium is a huge miss, especially at the north end. The installed windows and spandrel are terrible. Why do arches if you aren’t going to install arched glass? It makes no sense...

Friends of the Foundry has confirmed that "the demolition so far is on-plan, even though the timing did not conform to the 2021 HIA recommendation. City Heritage Preservation Services... have double-checked the current plan of work and it's OK." Personally, I'm not sure why we're demolishing...
