Where's Heritage Preservation Services when you need them? There has been a billboard in that location for over 50 years and should have been recognized as a contributing feature of the King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District.

I think he is joking. That line of thinking destroys development potential in Toronto just in case he isn't. It's not that it's the original billboard from 1950. It's that there has been a billboard there since the 1950s. That applies to 90% of all structures in the old city.

Thanks, maestro. Yes, perhaps I was too subtle.......

I really hope this one doesn't get VE'd to death; some of the detailing, esp the arches, are very nice and help this project blend into the surroundings, despite its height.

I think the VE'ing process has already taken place here through the various proposed updates. So hopefully what we see currently will get built...

...but there's no guarantee that they won't shirk on the materials. I guess we'll have to wait and see for that one.

A nice new sign up and there is an excavator onsite. Photo is from before the excavator arrived a few days ago.

Just the density around this project is insane coming from a good old country boy

I saw lots of ads for this project. I wonder if this sells well.

I'm kind of new into urban development, how long do y'all think this would take to complete? Since demo was pretty much recently done and all.
