Arbo got a mention in the 2024 Federal Budget as a property that will see rapid development.

Shocking that they are sticking with a (barely altered) proposal from three years ago, while seemingly every other major proposal has been bumped up in density one, two, three etc times since then. Just a complacent, uninterested crown corporation content to do not much of anything. Between the Olympic Village, the Portlands and this chunk of Downsview the various governing bodies of Toronto seem to be the most incompetent developer in the city.

I think you're very premature in drawing that conclusion.

There are no actual buildings moving forward just yet. Though there will be soon.

I think Canada Lands has been excellent here and in the overall Downsview Plan thus far.

But let's see how execution roles out.

This is one of 3 parcels at 1350 Sheppard West that is currently out for proposals, but two others are open for feedback:

Red is out for proposals, green is open for feedback.
 
With the Liberals so far behind in the polls does anyone take their announcements seriously anymore?

I don't know about you, but I'm far more interested in Pierre Poilievre's housing plan.

Working under the assumption that the Federal Liberal-NDP agreement might hold for another 12-ish months, so -- our volunteers work with the people who are actually in-power today.

Thus far, Pierre Poilievre's housing plan for "public lands" appears to be = SELL them all off quickly with no "affordable rental housing" development conditions required on those government land-sales
