It's a parking lot. They didn't spent that much.

The parking lot business has healthy profits. 'No overhead' is literal.

And the asphalt can be recycled! GO probably needs it for a parking lot expansion.

Because for every parking lot we lose in Toronto, Metrolinx builds another one somewhere.

As one of the last remaining surface parking lots in Southcore, I think this is a missed opportunity for a spectacular office site. Unfortunately, it's another bland blue glass box.

Ooh! A certified tent.

 

[Edward Skira]

Rather amazing that you need a permit to put up a tent for two days.

The people there have lawyers on retainer

I'm sure its a safety concern with unexpected wind etc. We've all seen the videos of flying tents with injuries.

I wish this one was a bit taller, it's a great location. Another 10-15 stories would be awesome.

Sounds like a new transit debate worth having: Subways vs. LRT vs. Flying Tents.
