Yeah, I by and large agree with that. Thanks for chiming in.

Are there any renderings of the 36-storey 3rd phase mentioned in this article:

Ports Toronto finds itself more under the gun than ever right now. The ship’s condition has visibly deteriorated even since last summer and condo developers are preparing to launch a 36-storey third phase of the Residences of Pier 27 that will flank the derelict ship, which was shut down by the city almost three years ago.

Here is an article regarding phase 3 from five years ago. Not sure if the plans have changed. http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2010/06/cityzen-and-fernbrooks-waterlink-pier-27-next-phases-proposed

Outstanding photographs as always, Marcanadian. Thanks for the update!

 

[Midtown Urbanist]

I think this has turned out spectacularly!

 

[Miscreant]

Thanks for the huge photo dump today. Those are fantastic.

Not sure if it needs a new thread, but, from http://www.thestar.com/business/2015/05/11/captain-johns-restaurant-sold-to-ship-scrapper-will-be-gone-by-end-of-may.html:

Cityzen, which couldn’t be reached for comment, is a private development company which is building the waterfront Residences of Pier 27 condo complex immediately to the east of the rusting relic and had been promised the ship would be gone last year. It’s launching sales soon for a new, 35-storey condo tower on the parking lot adjacent to Captain John’s.

These must have quite an impact from the water!

I thought the parking lot next to the ship was supposed to become a park, not a condo.

 

[interchange42]

There's space for both. There will be three more buildings in total on the Pier 27 site.

I thought the parking lot next to the ship was supposed to become a park, not a condo.

The plan was always for there to be a tower component in phase 3, if memory serves.

Yeah, but not at that strip of land on the waters edge
