With this site's proximity to Billy Bishop Airport it strikes me that it would make sense to add a hotel portion to any inevitable condo to serve business travellers, etc. I also wonder if following that logic they would expand on the retail offerings as well by having a large retail component...
Rights to the residential component of the land redevelopment are being sold for $180-million to Tridel Builders Inc.

Just wondering if anyone had any info on the fountain that is being installed at Clarence Square Park on Spadina Ave? I walked past the park earlier today and noticed they have a section of the park fenced off due to to the installation of a fountain that was apparently donated.
This is what I posted on Sep. 30, 2014 Post#632.....So I suppose it does seem to be turning out to be true.....It would be great if it opened by 2016. It does seem as though there is quite a bit going on behind the scenes though. I was recently informed by someone at Concord (Cityplace) that...
Spectra Retail
Spectra has 5 or 6 retail units? Anyone know if any more are rented other than the Roses New York? A lot of retail potential there for Cityplace, actual retail spaces and not live/work units.
Focal Point
I think it's quite simple. There is nothing to look at in that park, you almost instantly feel bored. The problem is not the park itself exactly, it's missing a focal point and any real beauty. The new puny trees don't help much, they will offer some beauty and shade though as they...
I was just wondering where you got this picture/rendering? I know it's mostly complete, just wondering if the columns, under gardiner lighting and other things will actually be added.
It would be great if it opened by 2016. It does seem as though there is quite a bit going on behind the scenes though. I was recently informed by someone at Concord (Cityplace) that Loblaws approached them to sell the units for the Loblaws condo towers at this site. He also says that Loblaws was...
Apparently it is for sewer work, but I have seen them leveling the ground on the other (cityplace) side so I am hopeful. They put cement barriers, seems like a waste to have to close the street again at a future time when it is already closed and blocked off now.
Just in case anyone is interested to know, the Denny's will be opening up between 4/21 and 5/21/2014. This is the official response I received from the Denny's head office.
Not sure if this has been posted yet but here is the link to Anson Kwok of Pinnacle Discusses 1 Yonge Master-Plan – PART 2 http://blog.newinhomes.com/news/anson-kwok-pinnacle-discusses-1-yonge-master-plan-2/
I live in the area and have a gym membership, despite having a decent gym as far as condos go. Its just not a big enough variety of equipment in my opinion. Condo gym's tend to just have basic machines.
Well this info comes from a friend who works for tridel. He told me that it was bought by them and they will be annoucing the building design and suites within the next couple of weeks. Maybe he is wrong but he seemed pretty certain.
Travelodge
Just in case anyone is interested to know, the travelodge on bathurst and king was bought by tridel. They will of course be building a condo on the site.
Floor Count
I visited the cityplace sales office yesterday and was told by the sales rep that this building was allowed a height increase and will now stand at 32 storeys.
