Hearing through the grapevine that a proposal is coming for this site. 40 storey range (until the locals revolt, of course)

I'm old enough to remember when this entire collection of Ordnance St developments was proposed, and this park was both larger and included a swimming pool

I think the real mistake on the eastern side of LV was allowing the two developments on the north side of E Liberty St, immediately west of LV "Park" and directly south of this proposal. Liberty Place & Liberty On the Park should have been the central green space for the area, and it would have...

Fairly certain it is going to be a BMO (though there could be a second bank located in the village somewhere). Likely moving from down the street.

Wouldn't this fall into Swansea Public School's zone as it is on the south side of Bloor?

Oh I remember, I was a purchaser lol. I feel like that was 3 lifetimes ago and yet still nothing has been built. Shameful.

There was a Fortinos location at the southwest corner of Jane and Wilson for years (I actually worked there in high school) It started as a Loblaws in the 80s, perhaps even earlier, became a Fortinos sometime in the mid-90s I think, and has now been a No Frills for something like a decade or so

Lots of signage up in the windows of the old Samsung store for the coming BMO branch. Something is definitely happening where Nordstrom was, as the previous walkway through it to the main mall has been drywalled over and from what I could see in a quick glance, something is "coming soon"...

Crane going up today

Considering they just moved in to over 350k feet of office space right above here it is no surprise for them to have a ground level retail presence as well

Please stop with these types of alarmist, non-sensical ramblings. You're saying almost all the same things you said in your previous post except now an energy shortage? 12 storeys is absolutely not crazy for this location, and precedent has already been set directly across the street with both...

Absolutely awful

Received a flyer in the mail for the online community meeting (May 8th @ 6:30pm) Proposed details from the flyer: - "transit oriented" 12-storey mixed use building with indoor/outdoor amenity space - new retail space and enhanced public realm along Bloor - innovative mass timber building...

Interesting that it's just some of that block, leaving existing buildings on both sides of it along Bloor (plus that gas station to the west and surface parking lot to the east, unfortunately). Could adjacent properties be folded into the development if acquired? I agree that the retail is a...

I moved out here in summer 2021 and I feel like this site has hardly changed in that time.

Looks like they're commenting on Wellington Street's revamp, not this building

Is it confirmed that there will be a grocery store as part of the retail mix?

Right, but do both entrances to the station need to accommodate all that? Or can they just be crammed into one, leaving the other more available for retail/restaurant purposes?

Please...no more photos. It's getting worse with each update.

It was!...like 12 years ago, you know...when the city thought 27 storeys was too tall for this exact location lol
