RioCan buying Kingsett’s stake in Yonge Sheppard Centre for $331M

Longo's had tables set up last week for recruiting new staff too.

I can't help but be reminded of this North Korean gem whenever I see this building.

I meant the residential component of 4800, but I agree. NYCC definitely needs more office space to diversify commuting patterns and add some life during weekdays. However, the economics just aren't there as the area is not a highly desirable location for office space for some reason.

My favourite line - "Cities dominated by appointed, un-elected officials, such as the board members of Waterfront Toronto, are helping to generate this inequality." Makes us sound like a slum-filled city in some banana republic. It seems to suggest that poorer people in Toronto are forced to...

Anyone have ideas on what the rents might be like in the new Pivot tower? I understand that it's not managed by Tandem like the Forest Laneway towers, but by Riocan itself (Riocan Living). Would they likely be similar to rents at Forest Laneway? I can see the market allowing them to be a bit...

Yesterday from the TD Centre. Not sure how much of the site is actually visible but this helps place the site in context.
