yea I saw the posts above re: 2017 hearing, was wondering if anyone had heard anything happening since then.

Ha, no, I should've been more clear: that's still the case on the OMB site following that 2017 hearing.

The OMB e-case site is now blank but for this text: "No case detail is available."

The whole OMB searchable database appears to be down. It's been like this all day for me.

The decision has apparently finally been posted for this - after 17 months of deliberation. It's approved.

@DonValleyRainbow Revised to 120.8m.

The decision itself is worth a read. Lots of good stuff in there:

Looks like this site is up for sale, approved ultra-luxury landmark development site in the heart of Toronto's renowned Yorkville shopping district.

Apparently First Capital has reached an agreement to purchase this project.

Let's hope they show a bit more respect to York Square than the hack job they did on Hazelton Lanes.

hazelton lanes was a dump on the inside and out

And now it's a boring, sterile, anonymous nowhere-mall, so I guess that's progress.

hazelton lanes was a dump on the inside and out

I recall visiting Hazelton Lanes prior to its redevelopment on several occasions. It had character and while dated, it had texture, interesting materiality, and was categorically not a “dump” except to the eyes of developers lacking in vision and creativity.

Today it is soulless and uninteresting. It has been sterilized and made architecturally irrelevant; it has no brand beyond location.

It's a slow descent considering the several rounds of "updates" and piecemeal redevelopment it went through. The mall was a nice and cozy (if not convoluted) place to be back in the early 90s - now it's just a husk that one wouldn't give an iota about should it disappear tomorrow.
