That slab is disappearing as fast as Stollerys. If Mizrahi is quick at one thing it's demolition ?

Just kidding around, I'm really glad to see construction continue.

So that means above grade construction can go ahead now? Or is this just another not-a-permit?

from the city's website:

Notice of Approval Conditions (NOAC)
This is the first of the two stage site plan approval process for the City of Toronto. Once the City is satisfied with the application and the studies and reports submitted in support of the application, the Notice of Approval Conditions, setting out all pre- and post-approval conditions to be satisfied, is sent to the applicant. All pre-approval conditions must be met before Final Site Plan Approval (second stage of approval) is granted. Previous site plan agreements or site plan undertakings may be amended or released from title as a condition of the approval for any new proposal.

So it sounds like someone from the city needs to check if all the pre-approval conditions are met, and then the approval will be granted. Is that correct?

This is an important step but also just another not-a-permit.

Regardless of NOAC, on this site there can be no above grade permits issued until two key things happen:

1. Mizrahi pays $40M of DCs and S. 37 cash. I can’t imagine this is a great environment in which to do his largest capital call since acquisition. (Bet he wishes he had managed his ZBA and SPA processes properly, as this capital call could probably have happened pre-Covid).

2. The offsite parkland dedication of 14 Dundonald must have the current building demolished, and be remediated and conveyed to the City, per the final LPAT approved zoning, Schedule A, S. 37 Provisions.

I provided backup for this a few months ago here.

Does anyone go or live near 14 Dundonald who could provide an update on its physical status?

There may also be some remaining technical hurdles such as Toronto Water sign-off. From the outside, without a Routine Disclosure or FOI it is impossible to know if all the other little boxes for above grade permits are ticked.

Sadly, 14 Dundonald is coming down but at least it will become parkland rather than a 3-storey,

brown wood, black brick, glass-fronted jumble of rectangles.

Does anyone know why they are filling the tower footprint with what looks like sand?

a base for loading materials most likely. I'm guessing it prevents damage to the concrete below.

Sadly? Well ""One man's trash is another man's treasure":

A good place to put steel columns for future use?

Yeah, that makes sense, especially in the most recent photo - it looks like a ramp.

Can't wait for the super columns to show up on site and for the above-grade construction to begin.
