September 30 2022 Progress as seen from above

I lived on Santa Barbara Road -- that's just two blocks southwest of Yonge/Finch -- from 1978 to 2004. It's surprising to me how much has changed since then. Amazing and fond memories I had in an area generally bounded by Steeles, Willowdale, Sheppard and Senlac.

I couldn't find a thread for the Yonge-Church Corridor (i.e., Ward 13 - Toronto Centre) so I figured here might be a suitable place to mention a proposal for 15 Toronto Street https://goo.gl/maps/ZSbgbhighAZy8mCW9 "The development proposal for the Subject Site contemplates the removal of the...

Sadly, I think redevelopment will be upon us in a few years. I confronted a drone operator that was flying it high above Adelaide, between Church and Toronto Streets, a few months back. I was annoyed because it was perhaps no more than 15 - 20 metres from my balcony.

During the morning of September 16 2020 at around 7:40am ET

Very much appreciated! I admit my bias (as a full time resident of the neighbourhood since 2004) and I don't like the proposed changes at all. Cheers!

I just read through the relevant documents. Does anyone know when, if not already, the full decision will be made public?

From my perspective, the design language of the pavilion pairs well with the new children's playground. I've lived in the neighbourhood since 2004 and I'm quite happy with the revitalisation master plan. Looks good!

Yes. I walked through the park about an hour ago. It's lovely what was done.

Absolutely. As a resident of the St Lawrence neighbourhood I often visit this relatively quiet part of Corktown regularly. I'd love to see Tandem and others thrive in the area for many years to come.

The answers are impossible to provide because the closing date and duration of delay(s) is dependent on lots of factors. It's like predicting the weather on a specific day years into the future. I suggest you ask the builder on the progress and timelines of the project.

on the contrary, if you're dropping seven figures on a penthouse unit you expect much in return. regardless, KING will be an interesting project to follow,

It's a shame. The project held much promise to bring needed revitalisation to the intersection and neighbourhood. It's a difficult area for sure.

If you mean the parking lot directly north of 50 Lombard (Indigo Condos), there are no plans. There is / was, however, a proposal for 120 Church https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/120-church that wraps around 124 Church (McVeigh's Irish Pub). And, across Church at 89 Church Street...

One would hope a subway station at Steeles (and Yonge) will be completed after a solution has been implemented to ease transit congestion along the Yonge subway line.

Wow; I just got hit by another nostalgia trip when you mentioned CentrePoint Mall. During my childhood and throughout my teenage years, I visited the place at least twice a month. Known as 'Towne and Country Square' back then I primarily visited 'Oceania' that sold Marvel and DC Comics. That...

This proposal along with 'Time and Space' across the street https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-time-and-space-condos-102m-29s-pemberton-wallman-architects.15060/ will increase density tremendously in the area.

According to https://www.dezeen.com/2019/10/03/king-development-interiors-big-toronto/ there's a sumac tree in the west penthouse. Maybe the maintenance fee will include the services of an arborist

That's not an easy intersection to gentrify. While I'm not a fan of any of the past / current proposals, I'm keen to see how this develops.

The area has certainly changed. From 1978 to 2004, I lived two blocks south west of Yonge and Finch, and I clearly remember almost all that was before North York City Centre. It's surreal for me to look about, via Google Maps, the stretch of Yonge from Steeles down to Sheppard. I can't help but...
