Though it doesn't exactly pertain to Montage, I have some updates about Cityplace as a whole.
The Portland Street Pedestrian Bridge is a GO. It will be 6.5 meters wide and will extend from Front St. to the base of Parade. Cityplace is currently waiting on GO Transit who are building a small extension and a new tunnel in that area.
The new park design is also a go and will be presented at a public meeting in around 2 weeks. Interesting to note that the berm at the south-west side of the site will be taller than the Gardiner which is between 4-5 stories.
Panorama has also just received a height variance which allows them to add an additional four floors to their current 24 for a total of 28. They are finished excavation here and should have a crane in place by the end of the month.
A small debate came to fruition about the nature of the Signature Tower design. It was actually confirmed lately that there is currently NO DESIGN for this building so what we have seen in pictures is purely for massing and rendering purposes only.
In a similar note...
The Loblaws at Bathurst and Lakeshore is all but dead. This comes in the wake of some corporate restructuring within Loblaws so the plan is currently shelved with no resurrection in the foreseeable future. This news is from the mouth of Vaughn himself so it seems pretty reliable.
Great update! Many thanks. Where BTW are you getting this info from?
