As there are no property lines on the Toronto map between he properties, it makes me wonder if the legal address is the Croatia Street one, and the Bloor and Dufferin ones are only considered 'convenience addresses'. That might explain the choice of listing.

Thanks Daniel. That makes sense!

It is a single parcel of land, so needs to be severed for this development. I believe this gives the city some leverage in this whole process.

That's giving the developer the benefit of the doubt, IMO.
Every property in the city has a legal address, not every property is large enough to need convenience addresses. I don't think I'm giving the developer the benefit of the doubt by suggesting that maybe the Croatia Street one is the legal address in this case, just trying to suggest a possibility for why it has appeared that way. Capital Developments and Metropia went out to the public to talk about shaping the proposal here long before they submitted, so I don't think there's any reason to believe that they are trying to sneak something in now. Ultimately, the address that shows up on the City's website would be based on whatever the Planning Department staff inputting the info chooses, so either they go with the legal address, or maybe they've just chosen one of the options randomly.

Well at least if you search one of the other addresses in the Application database, it is smart enough to bring it up.

WOW. That's almost 3 times as many units as the Honest Ed's redevelopment. I also like the commitment to office space separate from the commercial space.

I think 50.000 sq. ft of office space is not much in the big picture, most likely small office components over top commercial retail,
Also looks like a lot of residential density here?, many locals will not be happy with the big towers proposed

I'm sure you're right, and you can count on this local being there at the meetings to fight in favour of it.

I wish this site got developed at the same time as Dufferin Mall in a holistic and carefully planned way. We all know the mall is a candidate to go eventually, even if it won't be for another decade.

It's pretty remarkable when one considers the scale of change we'll presumably have seen across maybe 10-15 years on three sites very close to each other, between this, the Galleria, and the Duff.

And don't forget the Dundas/ Bloor redevelopment is also in the works. There is lots of stuff going on in this area.

I was curious to compare the Galleria Mall redevelopment project up the street with that of Bloor & Dufferin to put them into perspective - numbers from the application posted above and reimaginegalleria.com:
Bloor & Dufferin: 7.3-acre site, 2219 residential units /147,512 sq. meters, 15,780 sq. meters of commercial space/retail, 4,900 sq. meters of office space, 2,818-sq.-meter community hub.
Galleria: 12-acre site, 3416 residential units / 222,895 sq. meters, 29,712 sq. meters of commercial space, 4,721 sq. meters of office space, 4,721-sq. meter community centre.
