A zoom-in and flyover:

Great Gulf's highest profile projects to date are Monde (Moshe Safdie) and One Bloor East (Hariri Pontarini). IMO, both are positive additions to the city.

Track record-wise, I find GG's track record to be fairly solid on their more conventional projects. Some of the older ones at the earlier stages of the boom like the Morgan, 18 Yorkville, X and X2, the Hudson, the Charlie were generally well received all around.

Yonge & Rich has been a major disappointment though in many ways. And has come as a surprising negative from one of the more consistent developers in the city.

They have a few other projects in the works right now like Home, 357 King West, and 8 Cumberland so hopefully they make a rebound in quality. In terms of timeline, GG's next projects being launched are Four Eleven King (@Spadina, former LCBO redevelopment) and the Clair (Yonge south of St. Clair).

The sale of East Harbour suggests that they aren't exactly struggling to stay liquid either.
The sale of East Harbour could be a sign that they had liquidity problems, even if it is now resolved. They are carrying a huge mortgage on this property.. didn't they pay close to $300 million? Plus the mortgages on 411 King, Yonge and St Clair, and their project at Adelaide and Spadina which they have yet to submit, with the only one of those that seems to be moving even somewhat being 411 King. That's a lot of land to be sitting on in terms of value.

That said East Harbour was extremely profitable for them. I believe they purchased that site for about 1/10th of what they sold it for.
 
^ Woo hoo. 7 years later after this announcement we finally have some scaffolding LOL. Towers should be topped out by the time Im in retirement.
 
Yeah this one looks stalled. Great Gulf bought it out 3 years ago and we still have crickets. No word of anything being started either.
 
Well, GG bought it in Oct 17 so it has been just over 2 years. This time last year it was resubmitted:
