I believe this site also corresponds with the plans for the TCHC Block 36 N development:

One last gasp for Concord?

I dont think Concord would be interested. They seem to be only interested in seeking that maximum amount of profit, while providing the cheapest quality possible.
This development wouldnt allow them to max profits to the fullest since there would be some kind of RGI component involved, as well as other subsidy forms.

Rumour - Aga Khan's Institution is looking at this property (or nearby properties on Sugar Wharf) to build "rental housing development in the proximity of the Queen’s Wharf area in downtown Toronto. This development will include prayer facilities, as well as spaces for educational and cultural initiatives. The development will consist of units available for rent at market rates as well as affordable housing units based on household income eligibility."
This would meet the goal of the housing now strategy "Support participation by the non-profit and co-op housing sectors and help build capacity in the sectors"

Very interesting developments. Would be great for a second aga khan park in that area.

At least it wouldnt mean demolishing any architecturally significant buildings if they DID go ahead with another Aga Khan Park...unlike the Flemingdon Park project.
Hopefully this lot finally gets developed soon...

"Block 36 North, also known as, 150 Queens Wharf Road, is the last block of undeveloped land in CityPlace. This vacant site is located immediately north of the Fort York library branch and just south of the future Rail Deck Park. The land is owned by the City and has been earmarked for new affordable rental housing.
I have been working for a number of years to have affordable housing built at this site. In 2015, City Council requested the Affordable Housing Office to fast-track construction of new affordable rental housing on Block 36 North through the then-new Open Door Program. Subsequently, City staff reported to Council to recommend approval of the proposal, and consultation meetings were held in the community. In 2016, I secured Council approval for construction, but unfortunately, the project did not advance. In early 2020, I again urged staff to re-initiate the project and to advance construction on new affordable housing units.
I am pleased to share today that the affordable housing proposal for 150 Queens Wharf Road is active and advancing. Please join me online or by phone on Monday, March 8, from 7 - 9pm for a Community Consultation Meeting with staff from City Planning, the Housing Secretariat, and CreateTO, to learn more about the preliminary development concept, including the project proposal and timeline.

If the land is owned by the city, why is it taking 5+ years to put an affordable tower here?
