Yeah, city funded development sounds like it could jumpstart the urbanization of the area. It should help promote more retail areas and maybe they'll build a grocery store within walking distance.

Yeah that is correct. There is currently 54 acres around downsview station that is owned by Build Toronto. They currently lease part of it for downsview parking. Here is a one page PDF from the Build Toronto webpage showing the property they own and their intentions...

Does anyone know or heard any information about the proposed plans for the South East corner of Sheppard and Allen? That property is own by a development branch of the municipal government called Build Toronto. I think there was a proposal for both commercial and 1500 units of subsidized housing.

Did you get it done as an upgrade through the builder?? It must really look sharp.. lol, pictures by any chance??

I was curious, how many of you purchased the condo to live in yourselves, and how many are investing to rent it out? i just googled rental properties in this location as saw at least 20 listings for Metro Place. I really like the development and was looking to get a unit in Metropolis but I've...

That's great thanks.Looks great. Just curious..is it a full 9ft in your suite? I went to have a look at the Queen's Park suite on the ground floor in M1 that they were showing as a model and I'm not entirely sure but it didn't look 9 ft. It look more like 8'6" based upon the height above the...

For those who have 9 foot ceilings, what is the height in your washroom? Is it 8 ft so the bulkhead is a foot deep? Any photos of the washroom would be helpful. Looking to buying a unit in M3. Thx
