Any detail on those differences? Walked by and the phrase “-as high as an elephants eye” came to mind. You couldn’t send a dog in there without a search party and a machete to find them again.

It's disappointing this is taking so long. The building aside, the weeds are extremely tall, as you mention. This lack of maintenance unfortunately spills over to the surrounding sidewalk and boulevard. I wish they'd take better care.

It's not going to happen, but I also wish the one large tree on the site could be preserved. It's quite beautiful. I'd love to see more buildings designed around existing trees.

Has a reason been given why the "schedule" has slipped by another 2 months? It's not going to get cheaper if they wait. Time is money.
Let's see if the recent dropping of GST and PST on rental accommodation builds finally allows this one to go ahead. Here's hoping!

That is a great @HousingNowTO impression!

Not sure if there's a paid gig in that outside of select circles, but still very good! LOL
 
Ok, so the thread bump made me look up the permits.......the news is not promising, but it is confounding.

A refusal note went out for the 'new building' permit..................on zoning grounds, just 4 days ago.

Partial Permit for shoring is 'under review' - last touched at the City end Sept 6th.
 
The permitting stuff is likely all based in technicalities right? I can’t see anyone around there that would complain about the impact of the project.

It should be entirely 'small stuff'; but, once in awhile Buildings does find serious problems in the drawings.

The problems won't be about what's permitted broadly, at least that's pretty rare, but they may pose real delays if the architects/engineers have muffed something substantial.

Edit to add: You can see an example of a problem being caught at the SPA stage, in my post here:

 
This may push this project along. Good thing, as I am getting older by the day!
