I agree. That is a crazy amount of parking considering its location. I wonder how many employees will be working here.
I am also pleased that this will add some jobs to the Sheppard Line mix,
... does a 600,000 sq.ft building need 1100 parking spaces regardless of the fact it is literally beside a TTC/GO connection?
And probably reversing the commuter traffic somewhat at that (more heading east in the morning and west in the evening).
I've seen what a mess traffic is like here on the weekends when IKEA is going full swing. What's it like during business hours?
Does Canadian Tire really need almost 600,000 sq.ft of office space?
That's a really good point regarding requiring cars ... I can see why that's the case and why the TTC (even if it was perfect) wouldn't work.
How much of the building do you currently lease at Eglinton btw ... all of it correct?
Great news. I love how it will front Sheppard and there seems to be a clause where the developer must enter into an "entrance agreement" with the TTC for Leslie Station. Does this mean that the building will have direct access to Leslie?
I am slightly disapointed, however, that the design will not reflect the setback prinicples of the Sheppard Secondary Plan. I was under the impression that all buildings along the "avenue" would be 6 storeys and additional floors would be set back further from the street.
Despite this, I'm looking forward to this office tower breaking up the residential cluster that will eventually go here. Hopefully the architectual features are at least interesting and not mere copy-cats of the anticipated concord towers.
