They're moving quick, but I agree, I think they will still need at least another week before it would be ready assuming they keep at the pace they've gone over the last two weeks. From the first shot below, they still don't even have interior drywalling done - you can see insulation hanging...

I'm not sure I follow.... "CONCLUSION [233] The HABU of the Subject Property on both valuation days is its current use. MPAC and the City have failed to prove that it is mixed-use development land and MPAC has also not discharged its onus to prove the correctness of the Subject Property’s...

Yes, temporarily. Apparently the site isn't safe to stage everything and there's something in there about the city requesting a change of scope from WT but it didn't specify what it was.

My guess is as long as they've started digging the hole it qualifies.

TLDR: Martin Goodman trail is closed from the East entrance to Merchants' Wharf to Parliament. They're moving the bus stop to west of the East Entrance to Merchants' Wharf and creating a bike lane. Martin Goodman trail and part of the boulevard are being used for staging as they begin to create...

We have a slip wall! Taken this evening.

Unfortunately, Waterfront TO has given them until DECEMBER to return the roads and public realm to pre-construction state. They need to demolish the Porche dealership first - they're moving in June I believe so I would expect demolition by the end of summer. My guess is the ground will likely...

I find it so meh. boxy glass towers. as if we don't have enough of those.

So...I don't think this is going to be a Curio anymore. Gupta developed another property in the Entertainment District that opened as a Curio in 2024 (Revery). Easton Hotels is a sister company or the same company as Gupta. Their site no longer shows this property as a Curio but rather unbranded...

Demolition soon? “Ouroboros salvages valuable building materials with a full-circle approach to material recovery. Through deconstruction and salvage, recovered goods bypass landfills and are returned to the materials ecosystem.” - https://www.ouroborosdecon.com/

Yeah - the park on the south side is unfunded (it's separate from the section that is opening this summer) and the area around the waterfront promenade on the north side is Quayside Phase 2 which likely won't be ready for subdivision and ready for pedestrians likely until 2028. The bridge may be...

I'm so intrigued by how all these buildings seem to have random panes of glass missing - balcony railings, windows, you name it....anyone know if there's a rhyme or reason for it? It's random but like almost every floor seems to be missing at least 1 piece of glass.

Pretty sure it's grant money that's a use it or lose it kinda situation so I think by the end of 2026 it'll be up....maybe not open, but definitely on its way.

Temporary state - once WELRT is in it'll be tight and traffic will crawl just like on the QQW. I wish they put some timelines on this animation - they clearly spent a ton of my money to develop it...at least make it useful.

it's going to be dull like the Empire building it neighbours. Only theirs was painted so they get the matte finish.
