the amazing design of this considering its location is another example of Why H+P has become my favorite architects in the city..

their renderings show that there will be a rapid transit stop @ harding.
is there any validity to that or is that just some bs? the current viva stop is @ weldrick.

It went to the OMB in April 2015

Not sure how old this rendering is - from HPA's site

it's been 5 years, what happened to this proposal?
If anyone knew, they would have posted it. If you don't have news to add to the thread, what you're doing is considered an unnecessary thread bump, considered an annoyance by many members. Careful how often you do it.

Though 5 years is probably a reasonable amount of time to ask if the project has been cancelled, or been sold to a new developer.
On the developer's website, I presume this is the project they are calling "Arnold & Major Mackenzie" and described as "future project". Doesn't seem to be any update or even a rendering attached though.

A website for the development still exists https://hariripontarini.com/projects/baif-don-head/
I know it went to the OMB years ago but don’t ask me how to find the status in LPAT.

The file is still open.
I couldn't find the attachments associated with the presentations made in the most recent tribunal meetings, but I did find that Hariri Pontarini Architects did present on behalf of Baif at the meeting, so I am going to assume that the renderings on the Hariri Pontarini website are up-to-date with what is publicly available. Given that the pictures up-page are broken, they are re-uploaded to UT server for posterity:

That's good news - I guess bumping the thread after 5 years is in fact beneficial

Update: there is a new proposal for the site
www.thestar.com
WHAT’S GOING HERE?: 4 apartment buildings proposed near Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive
Three development companies aspire to carve out a space for four tall residential buildings near the intersection of Major MacKenzie Drive West and Yonge Street in Richmond Hill.

This proposal is actually down the street from the Baif Don Head proposal, on the north side west corner of Major Mackenzie Dr and Arnold Cres.
