To be 100% clear - there are two "potential school options" in the plan as of 2020 - The Master Plan explores the potential to co-locate two elementary schools within the podium of the buildings that line the northern edge of the enlarged park. The actual realization of these schools is...

No. Neither has funding confirmed from the Provincial Ministry of Education.

If the BAPS had been much less restrictive, then more progress could (likely) have been made on this site. Expect this site will need more unit-density using 2024 numbers, especially if the City is now looking for Fifty (50) "rent-controlled homes" on that site..?? Not sure how the City can...

Is there Site-Plan Approval (SPA) on 838 BROADVIEW..? I only thought they had their zoning approvals from Summer 2022. Last time that we saw that address on any public-document at City Hall was in the LIST OF CITY-OWNED ‘HOUSING READY’ SITES appendix as part of the NOV. 2023 item - EX9.3 -...

From a "site constraints" point-of-view, 125 ESPLANADE has similar Roads, Parks & Small Footprint as the 931 YONGE site which CreateTO has proposed (after some of our volunteers' encouragement) as a 32-storey mixed-use building... https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/931-yonge.50756

For the record, our HNTO volunteers massed this 125 ESPLANDE site 3-storey Library w/ 27-storeys of housing above in April 2022. It was early work based on the HOUSING NOW funding models at that time. It would likely need to be a little taller now. There is 100% a smart (and one-time)...

Unknown, as it is not explicitly-defined in the public documents. Assumption is that occupied unit remains at rent defined in the existing lease for the sitting tenant, but then reverts to market-unit rents upon vacancy in year 25+.

6 x basement studios for 25-years at approx. ~812 per month (inflation adjusted). Expect to see more of this kind of settlement - w/ fewer & smaller units for a shorter period of time at a deeper level of affordability under OPA 558. LINK -...
