This 'news story' basically reads like a paid advert for Menkes. That's the Post for you. The credit for the amenities, daycare,etc should go to the city/province as these 'ammendities' are concesious from Menkes point of view. Developers have to add many of these features because the OMB won't approve the project otherwise. Make no mistake this is Menkes public relations and marking spin. If they could squeeze more units into the podium of the building by offering less amenities they would.
 
It is a good change of pace to see a piece about actual city-building on Queens Quay East, paid or not, instead of the dog and pony show that is going on at Quayside with Sidewalk Labs/Google.

When a news story is effectively a poorly vailed advert and is seen as a positive 'change of pace' I start to understand the fake news thing. Not that this condo development is a major story but that article is fake news, misleading, bias and completely inconistent with the principles of quality media.This is an awful change of pace, I prefer no coverage over this story.
 
this area has been under developed for way too long.... so excited to see all the developments continue to progress in East Bayfront. It is a total transformation. That said, one of the missing puzzle is Loblaw, still nothing yet.....

^if you look at the discussion at page 24, there is something definitely planned for Loblaws but it's longway down the road. most probably after this project is completed.
 
Loblaw's will definitely redevelop at some point but why would they rush into it? It has been one of the most utilized piece of land in the East Bayfront/Lower Yonge area. The more people that move / work in the area, the more business they are going to get. In other new communities on redeveloped land people wait for years for a local grocery store (looking at you Fort York!)
 
Choice's plans for that site are in the long-term pipeline. The store performs strongly so why disrupt a good cashflow?

that stretch of Lake Shore never really has huge amounts of traffic, even in rush hour it probably wouldn't be a huge deal.

The amenities aren't there because of an OMB approval, they're there, like in every proposal that goes forward, because the City mandates a certain amount of the building be put aside for them based on the number of residential units.
