I assume the ramp is almost topped out here? It's a little hard to tell at that angle.

The ramp has one final incline before it tops out at the laneway coming from Balmuto. Almost there, though!

Also, great updates @thaivic

This motion looks like it will alleviate the last large barrier to the granting of an above ground permit assuming Mizrahi has all the funds in order: http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2020.MM22.29


I may be misinterpreting, please correct me if I am!

The motion was adopted today, as expected. Let's go!!

Can I take it that this a good sign that this project is finally moving forward when Kenojuak has /upvoted urbanyimby over this?

Ha ha. People think that because I criticize Mizrahi's planning missteps that I don't want this project to succeed. It is really the opposite. It's such a landmark project that it's annoying to watch the fumbles. I am excited to see this go.

NOAC has also been issued.

A short list of things could hold up an above-ground permit now. Most likely something like a legal pre-approval condition that would not be obvious from the outside. Or something like a dangling comment from Toronto Hydro or Toronto Water or some such.

I assume he has the $40M cash ready to pay S. 37 and DCs.

544 residential units? I thought this was going to have 416 units? I wonder if the hotel rooms are somehow getting counted with the residential units.

So now we're just waiting for Final Site Plan Approval.

80 storeys?I thought this was 85 storeys...

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

According to the UT tally it's 416 units and 85 stories. So...por que no los dos?

Yeah it looks like the development portal description is out of date. Here’s a screenshot from the latest SPA architectural plan (April 2020):

Technically as long as it’s permitted in the zoning bylaw I believe unit counts can change without amending the SPA - as the SPA doesn’t regulate interior space.

perhaps Mizrahi split up some of the larger units into better selling smaller units?

they could just be counting the hotel as well though.

Those drawings are showing 162 hotel rooms.

I definitely didn't think that. You're obviously excited about this project based on the in depth research you do for each of your posts. Keep up the good work!

I would expect combining small units into larger units is much easier. There are a number of minimums (such as parking per unit) which would still apply.
