It looked like there was a pile driver on the site when I went by a few days ago

Getting it done before it becomes obvious to whoever is financing it that it will be next to 6-7 fairly active railroad tracks lol

Torode is clearly counting on the "Foamer" market to buy units facing the rail lines.

Torode sold this. The new owner/developer is Cairo Developments. It will be a rental for sure. No one in their right mind would purchase a condo right next to the railway tracks.

In Calgary that's probably true - we have lots of better land elsewhere for condos. Not so elsewhere (Toronto):
Freight trains would be much louder and last longer, despite being something like 20X less frequent than GO trains in area of Toronto. If you don't mind the noise, the location in Ramsay is pretty top-notch and with good views into the city.

Looks decent, will see what the VE process has to say though.

Its even worse than just railway tracks. With the new rail bridge put in, yard switching operations are extended further West from Alyth, so there will now be even more noise from shoving cars back and forth.

I can hear some freight trains from my condo and I live on the 18th floor and 3 blocks south of the tracks. I can only imagine what they will sound like in a low-rise, wood frame building that is about 30-40 feet from the tracks. Probably feel like they are coming right through your living room.

Looking southwest at the building. The pathway to the right is the one you take to go under the railroad bridge to get to 9 Ave. Completion is scheduled for summer 2023

Nice looking building and locations but I lived on the fourth floor of the building near the train bridge across the Bow in Inglewood, it was incredibly loud and would rattle our belongings. This seems just as close. Yikes.

For some reason, that DP was cancelled and they submitted a new one again, which can be found here:
NORR is still the architect, but looks to be GBS Development Group as the developer now, according to the drawings. The drawings are available for download on the link, here are a few of the renderings. Not a lot different from what was shown in 2017 by the looks of it.

Not moving quickly but it is moving.
