Step 1: Get rid of the parking garage. Step 2: Redeploy the 3rd tower density into a more midrise scale where the garage was. Step 3: Get a grip on the architecture. There might start to be a sign of an actual project there... But yikes this needs work....

Do we know if the concrete is going to be clad/painted/polished? Can't see the owners realistically leaving it like that

Believe it's part of the SASP 154 which permits residential in some employment lands, and in the recent OPA 653 it's being converted to Neighbourhoods to reflect the existing townhouses use.

Only way that much gfa/units fits on this site is in a tower. Looking forward to the designs.

Great to see this coming together. Loving the pinkish hue as I'm sure some do too....😅

Hoping these plans include a roughhin for a south side platform for a 4th track. Seems there is space for such but... Also the lack of a 20-storey building in the parking lot is mind boggling. City was already pushing for lower density in this MTSA and it would be a great opportunity to let Mlx...

I can't think of a worse combination of materials in downtown in recent memory. Graywood has absolutely screwed this up. Multi coloured spandrel? Hideous walls of spandrel on the south? Crappy precast? Mullion emporium? Boy oh boy... I get that the building needs to work financially, but...

This will be interesting. Hitachi has North American exposure providing vehicles in the states so hopefully the plants have no worked out production bugs if we are sourcing off-the shelf or similar units. As for Bombardier/Alstom, I was originally fearful this might lead to plant closure but...

No tower separation, no office replacement, and a 1040 sqm floor plate? Straight to the OLT with this one. Would not be surprised if staff write a refusal report as the preliminary report. This is just to protect from Inclusionary Zoning which kicks in on Sept 18, assuming they also get their...

The one building where we all hope the cladding fails early and we get another chance. Just a shameful pile of contempt for everything and everyone else.

I suspect this is to facilitate the necessary road/parkland conveyances to the city. The vertically stratified blocks for resident, commercial, and parking, indicate that they are legal conveniences which provide for any future desires to sell these components as appropriate. Eg. Selling the...

Yup totally get it. And they are trying to make it special to make sure it doesn't languish as a forgotten park (keeping the gears would have helped). I just don't agree with it being a priority park project at this point on the waterfront. Maybe when it opens Ill fall in love and feel like an...

The city moved a lot of the concrete plants here to get them out of the development areas of the Portlands and create this Concrete/aggregates hub. They are staying for the long term as they supply a huge quantity of the concrete for downtown building projects. This park is.... questionable...

York Region is building out 3 major centres at VMC, Langstaff/High-tech and Markham Centre. This string of pearls is tied with the 407 transitway and Highway 7 BRT. This will help make better service viable and useful in the region. There is going to be intensification in York Region and...

Great building, just bring the brick to grade :). Given the Developer is Devron, I expect them to likely go for a more luxury play in terms of pricing and the architure will similarly need to reflect that as the area has a lot of upscale product coming online to otherwise purchase. We should be...

This could be a great sign if CollecDev want to do something different from the atrociously crap plan from Can-alfa. As much as liberty village is swimming in density, giving a little more here in return for some excellent heritage and public realm should be a no brainer. LV doesn't suck...

Land sold for $92 million. Via Jeremiah Shamess of Colliers. The $75 per buildable square foot price tags would indicate we are looking at 1.2 million square feet of density here!

Details on purchase from Jeremiah Shamess of Colliers: $150 million

From the application form docs, Owner is St. Helen's Meats. Unless they bring on a developer partner, this is a zoning exercise for density to sell. But this is good. Let's go!

This podium is a direct result of needing to provide parking at this site. I'm pretty sure Lanterra did not want to have to build all this parking above the subway tunnel on a constricted site, but here we are and so they did. Imagine the extra housing or whatever we could have had if we...
