    Seaton Village / Koreatown / Christie Pits

    I have been observing the progress of an OLT case near where I live, and it looks like there's more progress finally. It is for the medical building at 844 Bathurst St (north of the church), and they want to tear it down to put several "rooming house" buildings. The owner's lawyer submitted...

    Toronto Toronto | Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Westbank | Henriquez Partners

    Any idea where this would have been taken from? Didn't know there was a rooftop patio like this in the Annex. Looks farther from downtown, maybe a lens effect.

    Stackt Container Market (28 Bathurst St, future park)

    I went to Stackt to see this (looked better in the render), but the lineup was horrendous. The entire site was jam packed with people lining up for just about everything. Thanks for sharing a closeup photo. If this place is even half as packed on a regular summer evening then it's a...

    Toronto Toronto | Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Westbank | Henriquez Partners

    I found this retail brochure off google, not sure if everything is set in stone. But looks like Toronto School of Management is using up most of the commercial space. And Bestco will have a 2 storey configuration perhaps similar to the T&T at college/spadina.

    Toronto Toronto | 914 Bathurst | 43.92m | 12s | Stafford | Turner Fleischer

    I live down the street and belong to the local FB group. We know that this was one of the for-profit LTC homes that were seriously affected by Covid, and they ultimately decided it was too much to do the repairs required to bring this home up to snuff. For the past several months the staff...

    Toronto Toronto | Harris Square | 50.29m | 13s | Urban Capital | Saucier + Perrotte

    Dystopian or not, Underpass Park is constantly attracting photoshoots, people doing car videos and so on. And I received a Uniqlo flyer a while back and recognized the background there. Don't mind having this in my neighbourhood at all.

    Toronto Toronto | River City Condos Phase 3 | 99.66m | 29s | Urban Capital | Saucier + Perrotte

    I was walking around in the area and noticed a balcony style not seen in phase 1 and 2. There's just a concrete wall and one glass door coming out onto the balcony. Why not the usual double sliding doors? Is this just a temporary thing while they are building this?

    Toronto Toronto | Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Would it be fair to say the upcoming plans will lead to the shutdown of the T&T supermarket? Architecturally forgetful but (for me anyway) very convenient.

    Toronto Toronto | Pan Am Village in the West Don Lands | ?m | ?s | DundeeKilmer | KPMB

    My wife texted me this low-res image of the water works finally working at night. Hope to check it out in-person soon. My own phone camera not much better. I'm not sure if the lights in the area will always be this bright or it's just because of construction.

    Toronto Toronto | Avani and Avani2 at Metrogate Condos | 105.15m | 35s | Tridel | Graziani + Corazza

    I love how the Tridel representative was not put off by the negative comments in this thread and cheerfully shared the lobby photos. Anyway, my parents live in Ventus and my major beef is with the traffic bottleneck at Kennedy. Foot traffic-wise we are still waiting for potentially something...

    Toronto Toronto | Kings Club at King High Line | 57.6m | 18s | First Capital | Kasian

    Is there any news on the bridge that goes across the tracks? And is this the thread to be looking for that news? And now that Urbancorp is not involved in construction would it be correct to assume the quality of the build will be better?

    Toronto Toronto | Pan Am Village in the West Don Lands | ?m | ?s | DundeeKilmer | KPMB

    There is a water play area near the water guardians sculpture. 4 short light posts with buttons like at a traffic light, and potlights with water nozzles on the ground. Maybe it is not connected yet. At first I thought it required 4 people pressing the button on each post at the same time but...

    River City Condos (Urban Capital) - Real Estate -

    The newest photos look great, I think it matches the sketches quite well. The orange curtains on the 9th floor stand out :) Compared to my previous condo in Liberty Village, I think this has much less of a frat house vibe. First the lack of parking, and the less accessible night life on the...

    Toronto Toronto | River City Condos Phases 1 & 2 | ?m | 16s | Urban Capital | ZAS Architects

    I am not doubting that there are nearly 100 lockboxes just on that fence. However, on MLS I see only 13 listings for sale and 14 for rent. What is the reason for the discrepancy? We moved in last month, and so far things aren't too bad. Yes, the quality of the workmanship is not excellent...

    River City Condos (Urban Capital) - Real Estate -

    Well, to be honest I would prefer personal air transportation a la Jetsons. I am not a frequent visitor on this board, and I am just comparing with my previous condo (Bridge at Joe Shuster). My wife and I thought the developer was corner-cutting and nickel-diming, and even they put in 50...

    River City Condos (Urban Capital) - Real Estate -

    I posted earlier on this thread asking about the property management. And it looks like they were indeed changed, from First Residential to Brookfield. Not sure if that means there was some negative experience before. Another thing I am finding out is that there is a significant lack of...

    River City Condos (Urban Capital) - Real Estate -

    I tried sending a PM to the River City facebook, but did not get a response. I am tentatively moving in to RC2 next summer and curious whether the property management is also changed. The condo I'm at right now, they used to have a facebook page where residents complain about stuff. They...
