...and in few years after that, this site will be a transit hub where western extension of Ontario line, southwest extension of future Jane LRT and GO station will meke HBS the best connected part of GTA :D

I agree. I don't see that shadows can be a problem here and it makes sense when one looks everything that is being proposed in the area. Hopefully we'll see some activity with this development soon...

One can only hope 🤣

Politicians will probably not agree for relocation of the Food Terminal. However, if both the Food Terminal and the nearby plaza get redeveloped together, in phases, so that most of the Food Terminal is underground, that should be a win-win for everyone, in my opinion. There is so much...

Interestingly, every thread in South Etobicoke/ South Swansea/Queensway area turns into a discussion about transit :) This is probably why a single GO station will not solve all problems in the area. If HBS aims to be a new downtown with office towers, many people should be able to have easy...

Or Ontario line western extension along Queensway. Why not dream big ;)

I agree with you! I'm just saying that if the politicians really want to keep the Food Terminal there, most sections of it can be put underground, while towers can be built on top of it, with North-South relief roads... Don't get me wrong, I'm in favor for relocating the Food Terminal, but...

Maybe the Food Terminal can stay where it is and sell air rights to a developer that can put some/most portions of it underground. Redeveloping this site together with the neighboring plaza has so much potential in this location, as the construction can be done in multiple phases, additional...

I (and probably most people) agree that transit in this area is terrible and that such density deserves rapid transit and not just a regional transit station. We have been talking how horrible transit is in almost every new development thread in this area, so I think that it would be a good...

I know that many people here prefer narrow buildings, but to be honest I dislike skylines that contain only buildings sticking out like needles. On the other hand, this is (or should be) a prime location, and it should deserve better architecture. Also, I'm skeptical about how this massive...

Would love to see a supertall landmark there! Imagine coming back home from the West and a tall masterpiece greeting you and letting you know that you have arrived to the fastest growing city in North America :)

Wow great shots! Does anyone know how many more floors to go?

There is some activity on this site this morning. There is a truck and few people...

Saw this in the page: "To the southeast of the buildings is a ribbon of outdoor amenity space atop the garage, while an easement for a potential westerly extension to the TTC's Line 2 subway is immediately adjacent, next to the CPR Milton rail subdivision." How likely is the western line 2...

Does anyone know what will be developed just north from the proposed GO station and on the eastern portion of the site. My understanding is that the eastern portion will be given to the city for a fire station, (maybe) a police station and what else? However, I couldn't find anything about the...

I believe that this is a perfect area for much more density as it is so well connected (Go, Up, line 2...) and close to High Park, Bloor West Village and (relatively) Downtown. I would definitely like to see higher towers around this transit hub. On the other hand, major improvements of the...

Most of the cities develop close to water. In my opinion, Toronto is a bit of an anomaly, artificially developing inland because of the Yonge line and restrictive urban planning. South Etobicoke and South Swansea have the lake, Humber river, Mimico Creek (not to mention High park) which are all...

I agree that it would not be an easy task. However, with the new GO station, it might be feasible and profitable. First step would be to have an auction for the air rights. After that, it will probably change couple of hands until the developer with the right engineering and organizational...

Well if it's put on an auction, we would find out 🙂

Why not keep Food Terminal there and sell air rights to a big developer? Proximity to the new GO station would make if worthwhile and everyone would be happy.
