*grabs both of your hands at the same time like Oprah* Yessssssss!!!!!!! Loook under your seat!!!! There is nothing under there to look forward to!!!!!! Place your fantasy park designs below ⬇️ Your thoughts, hopes, dreams, and fears for this treasured community parking lot. Where am I gonna...

The forum is a little starved right now so I thought I would create a thread for this new park as I could not find one and the design competition was announced today 🎉 City of Toronto launches international design competition for new park in Liberty Village News Release October 23, 2025 The...

It is definitely paused, the new owner said on Instagram that they have reached a deal with the developer to extend the bar lease for several years. Once the condo market recovers, you can expect a development here. Could be different developer and design by then, but this site is in two MTSAs...

Doesn’t look like much has been going on here since the last post from mid summer.

Viewed from Stanley Park South. So many cranes in the distance 👀 And then closer up on King just East of Strachan.

Most unnecessarily rude comment of the month award goes to you 🏆 Wow, completely ruthless.

…lots of theatrics for conceptual massing

huh? yes I am aware they are two different things, that's why I asked my question to the forum. Anyway, found the answer to my question: MTSAs only allow development up to "30 storeys within 200m of a transit station and up to 20 storeys within 200–500m", didn't know it was so limited. cheers...

"Ford government proposes zoning orders to boost density in Toronto’s Liberty Village" The Trillium article Why is this necessary, why did they not make a MTSA around this station?

My best pics from the canoe art performance, taken from the South shore of Biidaasige Park, and Cherry Street bridge. It was very beautiful but kind of difficult to view. I wanted an epic photo with the skyline but clouds obscured it, kind of made the flags stand out more.

Never paid any attention to this project. Here are screenshots from their reel on social media highlighting that the hot tub above the front entrance has a glass bottom. Wow 😂

Some demolition progress, most of the windows have been removed and you can see the interior has been gutted.

Little update from the south end of the site on Camden Street, the heritage building has been stripped and interior gutted.

I get what you are saying, that this is dynamic land. We have definitely lost all of that land use in the core, particularly along Dupont and in places like Corktown, Liberty Village, and The Portlands. However, I think it's okay to lose this land in the core, you won't find land like this in...

Josh Matlow gave a great explainer on how development works in the city. Would be great if people planning to deputize had to listen to it before they wrote their speeches, maybe some could be dissuaded from wasting time and energy.

I'm honoured to have had my comment expanded into a full BlogTO article by Jack Landau. https://www.blogto.com/real-estate-toronto/2025/09/135-st-clair-ave-w-toronto/

Behind the main street of The Junction Neighbourhood, with a rail lines behind it. What's wrong with having residential on top of commercial? It certainly looks like there will be lots of employment in the massive podiums in the rendering.

This would be our 2nd injured animal sculpture, the donkey at Clover Hill Park being the 1st, both very random selections.

What downtown parking lots? There are like less than 10 now.

Haha good for you! Yes, they think of not travelling by personal vehicle as beneath them economically and uncivilized. I pre-warned my Americans that they were going to experience life like a local and they should wear comfy shoes. I explained to mine that not owning a car is freedom, they were...
