It's important to note that the Yonge corridor between Hwy 7 and Finch is a key development node for the GTA and is the densest, most transit oriented part of York region's master plan. The population forecast for people living within 500m of a subway station between Finch and RHC in 2031 is...

There is huge demand for development in Richmond Hill and lots of applications in process. Here is a June 1st 2016 recap of active development applications in the Town. https://www.richmondhill.ca/documents/report_op_zoning.pdf 35 pages of rezoning applications representing thousands of units...

Looking north on Yonge from the north end of World on Yonge at 8:00 am today. The line of traffic runs unbroken right up to Hwy 7 and south to Finch. I wonder how many of these drivers are headed to Finch Station?

There are 124 Commercial units (Office and retail) available for "sale". 87 retail units available for "lease". Many are the same as the ones for sale. In addition there are 20 office units available for lease.

There are 20 office units available for rent at between $16-$39 per foot as well as 87 available commercial units for lease.

It's been almost 2 years since the last post on this thread so I thought a quick update might be in order. The commercial component of this project has been, without any doubt, an absolute failure. The retail is probably 85% vacant and as of this morning there are 124 commercial units...

One small slip with that backhoe and that could be taken care of.

Following on recent reports of the sale of Promenade Mall to the Serryua Brothers from Cadillac Fairview, today I received a copy of a "Conceptual site plan" for the north east corner of the property that could see the development of seven towers each 27 stories along with new retail and a 3...

" Those that are part of a ventilation stack for Toronto’s complex sewer system known as the Mid Toronto Interceptor (MTI), all end up at an underground chamber of sewage almost 100 feet underground." http://www.beachesliving.ca/pages/index.php?act=landmark&id=107

Those blaming suburban residents for not living closer to work need to keep in mind a few things. If one partner works in the city and the other in the suburbs (as with my family), does it more sense to live in the city or the burbs? If you change jobs either through choice or circumstances...

You go away for a couple weeks and this thread grows by 25 pages. Reviewing what was said, very little new was added to the conversation and the opposing sides of the debate appear now only more entrenched in their positions than before but the rhetoric appears more nasty. To sum up what I...

This site at Yonge and Steeles is the definition of Tower in a Park and could be redeveloped to accommodate many new residents. While three of these are condos and 2 rentals, you could compensate owners in the $10's of thousands for lost parkland.

Demand for development in this area is very high. Potential developers in the Yonge Steeles area are already appealing the prescribed densities and development "Phasing" for pre and post subway development...

I like the street-scape and use of precast. Let's hope they don't ruin the retail by offering 200 sq ft retail condos that are useless for anything but cell phone cases or eye glasses. The World on Yonge retail makes Aura look like a success.

It is described as "additional RT". Not subway extension.

Looking at the map, while it appears that the Yonge subway extension has been shelved, Toronto would never feature it on their "plans" since it is not something Toronto wants as much as something being imposed upon them. Note that the HWY 7 Busway is also labled "additional RT" while the nature...

I think the Centre Street Plan from Vaughan has the opportunity to create a small urban village. The density of high rises here is, I believe, the highest in York region. There is a plan to rezone all the existing low rise retail to midrise with a new street grid. It will be well connected to...

I live in the Yonge Steeles area and I if need to go to Canada Revenue offices I go to North York Centre. If need to renew my passport, I go to Yonge and Sheppard. If I need to renew my Health Card I go to Yonge and Sheppard. Mt dentist is located at Yonge and Eglinton. My lawyer at Yonge and...

Updates to the Secondary Plan for this area. Maximum heights increased to 35 storeys where office component is included. Some alterations to the street grid and parks. http://www.vaughan.ca/council/minutes_agendas/AgendaItems/CW1201_15_14.pdf Notable is the updated phased development numbers...
