The growth in number of students is coming from students with a couple suitcases. Visit Pearson or take a domestic flight out of Pearson in August. They don't need a loading dock to move.

Ice Condos with an exclusive contract with AirBnB has a worst rep than the homeless in East Toronto. It's not a forgone conclusion that more investor owners in spandrel glass towers will have a positive effect on the reputation of East Toronto

From the Cover Letter associated to the above:

Height increased slightly from 48.08 to 49.55m

Conditional partial shoring permit has been issued

Note that the permit description reflects the 2019 iteration, changes being the tenure is now condo and there is only 1 underground level as of the April 2024 resubmission.

This latest iteration is as bland as it gets. Although, for them to get moving and add housing at this location remains a net positive.

I am blown away that two decent projects are happening here! As someone who has lived on and off north of this area it is great to see.

That's not shoring. I would have guessed soil remediation. The STS geothermal signage indicates I would have guessed wrong.

Geothermal used to allow you to tap into CMHC financing a bit easier, however they've since changed that over to affordability incorporation. Generally you'd only drill for geothermal at the bottom of your pit too, so I'm not sure what they're doing here at this time.
