Same goes for BestCo at Mirvish Village...

With regards to H-Mart,....
January 2024: All building permits initially applied for
June 2024: Building Addition/Alteration and Plumbing were initially approved (usually, I expect 3 months so this is on the long side),... Mechanical is "Issuance Pending" - so it looks like the HVAC weren't originally up to standards yet - but now with "Issuance Pending" it's more like City has approved but waiting for final payment of some sort,...
H-Mart not used to building out a full-size supermarket - or at least their designer/engineer/architect are having issue meeting City design code
As of now, all Building Permit for H-Mart finally granted,... 18 months after initial application! Again, this should have taken just 3 months,... going forward, it should take 6 months to build out and open a supermarket,... but at this rate with this H-Mart, I expect the new EmperssWalk T&T opening Summer 2026 to open first!

From local Cllr Lily Cheng's December 18 Newsletter,... "Update on M2M Pathway Access"
Directly east of Aoyuan's M2M Phase 1, 2 & 3 runs the new Olympic Garden Drive,... east of that is a strip of land (teal in diagram) to become a new Park (which I've nicknamed Fallopian Park - due to it's path design),.. anyways,.. this strip of land still belongs to Aoyuan Canada (since Winnet hasn't fulfilled it's obligations yet),... for Aoyuan's M2M Phase 1 building permits requirements, the lands weren't conveyed as Aoyuan was responsible for building the new Park - so likely just monetary guarantees,...
- At the south end of this strip of land (teal in diagram),.. there's a path adjacent to 46 Averil Cres,... this is still Developer's property,... but during M2M Phase 1 construction - they allowed public access through this path (construction trailer next to it - so easy for their construction guy to maintain/shovel it),... short-cut for local residents to east get to Yonge St. But it's Developer's property,... so if somebody falls, the property owner (Developer) could be held liable!
It's the Developer's Private Property,... they don't need to maintain it,.. don't need to shovel it,... it's perfectly legal for them to fence it off,...

In her newsletter,... the local Cllr Lily Cheng is suggesting Local Residents pursue legal action against the Developer,... for refusing Public Access on their Private Property! Which would just encourage the Developer to block off their Private Property!
BTW,...the local Cllr Lily Cheng's newsletter incorrectly named Alpha Alternative Secondary School - huh? that school isn't even in her ward,... she's confusing it with Avondale Secondary Alternative School at 24 Silverview

@sunnyraytoronto I love your commentary—but I can’t shake the feeling that if Lily personally handed everyone at NYCC a million dollars out of her own pocket, you’d still manage to find a flaw in the execution

Trust me,... I wouldn't find a flaw in the execution - since if Cllr Lily Cheng gave me $1m, I'd be way too busy spending it all - before she Flip-Flops and change her mind,... as she does on so many issues & election promises!@sunnyraytoronto I love your commentary—but I can’t shake the feeling that if Lily personally handed everyone at NYCC a million dollars out of her own pocket, you’d still manage to find a flaw in the execution
Well,... speaking of local Cllr Lily Cheng's wishy-washy execution,... her November 20, 2025 newsletter mentions the promised Newtonbrook Community Centre that's to be built into the podium of the stalled Aoyuan M2M Phase 2
source: mcec-zcmp (dot) campaign-view (dot) com/ua/viewinbrowser?od=3z4e5e5a7266e51afdad755acf7fafa50c118767a468364f45f5197d8d1aba09e4&rd=1f55848740583621&sd=1f55848740583611&n=139dbe334137e&mrd=1f558487405835ff&m=1
Since Aoyuan never proceeded with their M2M Phase 2 & now it's stalled in Winnet's (BS Holding Company) acquisition,.. and likely to be UpZoned further (from current 4.6FSI to,... well, Cllr Lily Cheng already granted Osmington's 6355 Yonge 21.75FSI and commented "Oh, that Developer is so nice"),... this Newtonbrook Community Centre won't see the light of day until about 2040
So in the mean time,... Cllr Lily seems scheming to set up a temporary Newtonbrook Community Centre at her nearby "Alpha Alternative Secondary School",... err, I mean "Avondale Secondary Alternative School" at 24 Silverview. Now, if it was feasible to set up temporary Community Centres paid for by the City Budget (controlled by Mayor Olivia "The City is Broke!" Chow),... wouldn't you think all those other City Councillors (past and present) be doing that as well???
Re-read that last paragraph in her newsletter,.... As you can see, Cllr Lily Cheng has absolutely no financial money sense,.... which is another reason - if she ever gives me $1m, I'd be too busy spending it ASAP!!!
Anyways,...
For Silvercore's Newtonbrook Plaza Redevelopment, Cllr Shiner got approximately 25,000sqft of Community Space for an in-park Community Centre (4 towers; 28, 36, 36, 44-storey; 1,674 residential units; 3.6FSI Density)

Given the depth of this project's underground levels and what'll probably be equally as deep across the street at 5800 Yonge, how is any alignment of a future Yonge subway extension going to be possible? Not sure if this has been covered in the actual Yonge extension thread, but the only way I...
See Page 11 "Community Recreational Facility" - done by Cllr Filion https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2020/ny/bgrd/backgroundfile-158438.pdf
- City will pay developer Aoyuan $3.9m for the additional 1,960m2 (21,097sqft)
Pg 22: 4. “A payment of $3,900,000.00 from the City of Toronto’s Parkland Acquisition Reserve Fund, prior to the conveyance to the City of the Social Facility, which payment shall be indexed annually, from the date By-law – 2020 is in force, in accordance with the Construction Price Index”

a question about the use of already allocated section 37 money for the m2m development, appreciate if anybody can answer. i see on this thread that the phase 2 is in limbo, with Aoyuan putting it up for sale. i see also they've already sold units, and the building is designed already. what the...
To satisfy Aoyuan M2M's Phase 1 Building Permit requirements a few years ago, the Developer had to handed over money/guarantees to cover it's approximately 15,000sqft of Community Centre Space,... then add the the 21,097sqft Cllr Filion got from Parks & Rec - means the City has enough for about 35,000sqft Community Centre now (in-podium rate) - a Community Centre too small for Parks & Rec to operate,.... but more than enough for an AOCC!
So right now, there's money for almost 2/3 of NewtonBrook Community Centre - that's real money in the bank (literally!,... and a whole lot of PopCorn money!) waiting and reserved for Newtonbrook Community Centre,... we have to make sure Cllr Lily doesn't touch this money and messes up the permanent Newtonbrook Community Centre!
