Tuesday, April 18: Construction is now underway on the Fortune at Fort York building. The surface of the lot has been scraped - excavated to a shallow depth, and back-filled with an aggregate to provide a solid platform for shoring operations, and as of the Easter weekend, one shoring machine was on site. I hope to pass by again later today and get some photos.

I don't know this area that well but have noticed on this forum a lot of the condos being put up around that location by this onni developer have little to no retail and a lot of townhomes at ground level. Is there a reason the city never demanded more ground level retail because for the amount of units in this area it seems to be lacking retail.

Onni is building Fortune, but they didn't develop the whole area. In fact, the Onni buildings are the ones with the most retail (such as it is). Other developers were Lanterra and Plaza.

The pace of activity at Fortune is picking up. On site - two Shoring Machines, One Excavator, One Front Loader, and a soon to be gone Marketing Pavilion:

Other than this does Onni own anything else down there for future development?

 

[PinkLucy]

There's no place left to develop after this.

Nice and about time, i thought they also owned that lot @ Fleet + Strachan

The parking lot? One of those lots is parking for Fort York and is currently being redone along with other changes at the Fort and now with Bentway development. (SE side).

Not there, or anywhere else nearby apparently. On being asked about potential future developments by Onni, a Presentation Centre sales representative said that other than Fortune, and Onni's Etobicoke Westlake projects, Onni does not currently have any other land positions for development in the GTA. I had thought that Onni might be active in the Mississauga City Centre area, but of the De Cotiis family threesome, it turns out that only Pinnacle and Amacon are active there.

July 9, 2017 - The Fortune marketing pavilion has closed and been fenced off. The interior is now being gutted prior to demolition of the building itself. The Fortune sales activities have moved to a townhouse unit across the road.

That temporary marketing pavilion is way nicer than most of the permanent buildings surrounding it.
