No comment on project but dozens of new businesses have opened in this area over the last while. I work near here.

In comparison to the number of condos going up, there isn’t a balance of new business coming in unless it’s a spa, nail salon or golf simulation. Far more business have fallen than opened, which is why pushing thousands more to the city when businesses are literally dying is dumb and horrible city planning! They are planning a massive development on top of Corktown Station and at the community event mentioned less than 200 jobs would become available when thousand of new units are to be built…how does that make sense? Of all the condos built in the last year, for lease signs in all the ground floors. I’ve lived in the area for over 10 years and have seen the area literally deteriorate. King East of Sherbourne is a perfect example of businesses forced out because of developments that haven’t happened in over 5 years. Look at the empty plot of land thanks to Fitzrovia, sitting idle for how many years and there were at least parking lots and restaurants that made some money and kept the economy moving.

Well... it seems to me that you are against this particular development, and against development in general. You are going to get a lot of push back from the folks on this site I think. The people at Centrecourt are building this because they expect hundreds of people to move in... and if they didn't expect that, they wouldn't be building it. They expect to make a

And I’m sure that’s what most developers and investors who are completing their projects now were expecting too, but when people can’t close and units sit idle doesn’t seem like much profit to go around.
And if this forum is only pro-development rather than focus on if areas can actually handle the development, seems like it’s just filled with developers, landlords, and others who likely don’t live in the city and don’t care about the well-being of citizens who own and pay taxes to keep the infrastructure going.

Go look around at the other pages on this site The contributors that you are saying are pro development or don't live in the city all have multiple times where they point out when development is good and when developing is not sometimes they get it wrong but everyone who is higher than an active contributor on the site is very well educated in what they speak of I've learned a lot from them over the years just by them pointing out how development should and shouldn't work and also had a few times where I've got told off 😅😅 All in all take the time to look elsewhere on the site not just at this development You might learn something
