This is close to the proposal at 4 Beamish Drive, which is also 35 storeys. Basically on the other side, east of that shopping plaza. I can imagine that remainder of the houses on both streets will be gradually redeveloped in the future.

Same team as 4 Beamish: Amdev and G+C

Amazing photographs, charts and computer-made visual graphics. It's cool to look through these visually. The designers of this have a bird's eye view.

This is two towers now; 38 and 35 storeys with 750 units:

Yup...that's definitely a G+C desinged building, clearly they arent capable of producing anything other than their typical Black/White alternating motif. What a useless firm.

Two towers now instead of one because instead of being 8 to 14 Jopling South, it's now 8 to 26 Jopling South. everyone with a brain on this road has sold their homes off now. That leaves enough room for another tower redevelopment at Jopling & Bloor and one at Jopling & Dundas in the future.

I'd laugh if one of those shitty bungalow shacks refused to sell and wound up completely surrounded by towers.

….. 8 to 26 Jopling South. everyone with a brain on this road has sold their homes off now.

No. Everyone with a brain and means will wait till this area becomes really hot. Like Yonge between Sheppard and Finch.

You have to know when to sell. If you don't, it's possible that redevelopment will happen around you, render your property surrounded and unredevelopable, and you'll lose out permanently. Get too greedy and you get nothing. There are a bunch of sites around town where this is the case, and no doubt some of those homeowners are regretting their course of action now.

Talking about towers going up next to you ... this is a case where some thought to how this area 'grows up' is needed.

Is there anything going on in this area that is not high-rise? Doesn't it seem appropriate that there should be some step-down to the neighbourhood to the north? Like all of the north-side of Dundas? That whole stretch could be medium-rise between Dundas and the neighbourhood.

Or has the land now reached a price where it has priced medium-rise out of the development mix? Or is it the zoning?

Jopling Avenue between Bloor and Dundas is an isolated pocket. West of it is the hydro corridor that Aukland Road runs through, east of it is a plaza which itself no doubt will be redeveloped in the next decade. I don't think that what's proposed for Jopling and Beamish (on the other side of the plaza) will spill over to other area streets. Development pressures in the area will no doubt be focused mostly along Dundas where they'll encounter less opposition for the foreseeable future.

Good point, but some people love their homes so much that they don't regret a thing. Moreover, sometimes even these worst case scenarios can have a silver lining since the sites can sometimes still be densified with stacked townhouses or a walkup apartment. Restrictive single family home zoning goes out the window when everything else has become condos.

You see this in Mississauga, where there are old rural properties cutting off streets in 50 year old neighborhoods:

The odd thing here is that one of the rural homes sold and was converted into a business, when it was actually easy
to develop the property into two or three houses in the subdivision. I'm surprised the City allowed that.
