Term Sheet negotiations with Hines Canada are advancing for the Housing Now project located at 263 Queens Quay East (also known as Block R6, Bayside). These negotiations are advancing through weekly meetings, with consideration for existing development rights granted to Hines through the master Bayside Project Agreement, as well as program requirements of the Housing Now Initiative. The preliminary internal housing targets for this project consider a minimum of 325 total rental homes, including 199 affordable units.

Only way that much gfa/units fits on this site is in a tower. Looking forward to the designs.

Old 2018 numbers, before it was put into the HOUSING NOW program...

Updated 2023 numbers, after it was put into the HOUSING NOW program.

That number might continue to increase in 2024.

Actual progress does seem a bit slow.

If you assume 10 units per floor that means at 35s tower which is about twice the height of the surrounding structures. Do we know who the architect is?

Why only 10 units per floor? I can see 20 per floor squeezed on that site.

No change here since February...........according to the latest report to CreateTO.

What exactly is everyone doing here? Time is money.
