Can't help but being reminded of that other fantastic building at the end of Broadview with a similar snaking shape

Yeah, I can already imagine quite a few folks will have a conniption over this.

Not sure I can think of a more pleasant surprise in recent Toronto development memory than this. Lots of wonderful elements.
The NIMBYs will go absolutely batshit about this. They should be paid zero attention, but sadly will by the local councillor and likely Planning as well. Density at this scale handled in this form at this location should be a no-brainer.

They are nuking a Loblaws with this that would put many residents there at an inconvenience. But if said Loblaws is moved somewhere of equal convenience, then the issues are just over opinions, uninformed, over blown or otherwise.

@someMidTowner 's writing style remains leagues above what we've all come to expect from BlogTo.

However, there is a worrisome indication BlogTo may be affecting him

Toronto Loblaws could be torn down to make way for curvy new tower
Another prominent Toronto supermarket could soon be demolished if a new proposal is approved. The latest supermarket in the crosshairs is the Loblaws…

This is a block from my house and I'm a definite YIMBY on it. It's appropriate to the site, well-considered, and elegantly formed.
Bring it on. I might even look into buying a unit.

A long while back I joked that if this site is ever developed UrbanToronto will need to buy a unit just for the incredible (potentially 180 degree) panoramic shots of the skyline.
Guess what? You got the job ... and a free membership to forum ... if you have a good camera
. Congrats!

If you folks want to pitch towards my hypothetical condo, I will happily repay you in pictures of me making duck-face with the skyline in the background.A long while back I joked that if this site is ever developed UrbanToronto will need to buy a unit just for the incredible (potentially 180 degree) panoramic shots of the skyline.

@AlbertC is it close enough to Leslieville? LOL

Reasonable enough distance. Getting to walk along the top of Riverdale Park on the way to Queen is also a treat to enjoy the skyline views.

A one bedroom with those views will be what, 750k at least? We have over 32k members so everyone needs to cough up roughly 25 bucks. Pay up, tight wads!

I passed the Loblaws at Moore and Bayview yesterday, and I think there is a good case for it to be next, or at least in the crosshairs.However, there is a worrisome indication BlogTo may be affecting him
