Going for mediation at the OMB on Tuesday. Is this where they make one last attempt at coming to an agreement before it goes to a formal trial? I'm quite obviously no lawyer, does anyone know? OMB prehearing is on December 3. This project is so controversial it isn't even funny anymore. A...

Man I really wish I lived here. I spent the better part of 4 years here from 2004-2008 all through university and it would have been great to stay close to campus (or practically on campus in this case). I still remember the great little pita place and the Bedford ballroom that used to be at...

Good to hear. I remember that too, before they dropped their prices this place was incredibly overpriced and selling (or not) appropriately, so nobody was around. I really don't know why they didn't do much advertising for their substantial drop in prices. They start at less than $200k now if...

I really don't know what to make of this project. The location is pretty good, sort of off the main drags but still right downtown, which I think is good. Floorplans look decent enough as well, and where else can you say that Brassaii is in your 'backyard'? But then there's the other side...

Really? Is that confirmed? That's really unfortunate, that massive parking lot and those big box stores (Loblaws & Zellers) that are about 1km from the street really are the ugliest part of this neighbourhood. Not that the Price Chopper is a thing of beauty either but that's another story. I...

I know, that 960 sq. ft. unit is 409K before parking locker, assuming that "special" price is still available, according to your post. Tack on a $5000 locker & $26500 for a parking spot = over $440K for what I presume is the 4th floor, facing north onto the subway tracks a la Chicago loop...

haha no physical obstacles huh? if you say so. Just for the record, I am totally in favour of the Finch LRT, almost as much as the Eglinton. The west side of the city is much poorer than the east side when it comes to rapid transit. The former city of Etobicoke has only what, 3 subway stops...

You know, this is the 2nd time in this very thread that you have suggested that other UT members would be better off in other cities, myself in Chicago or New York and Automation Gallery in Houston. So what is it exactly? Only you know whats best for Toronto? Density in the central areas...

I desperately hope they're taking the presentation centre down. This thing needs to get started.

I don't mind this project but I was quite surprised when I went in there. North facing 960 sq. ft. 2 bedroom unit on the 4th floor for well over $400k with no parking or locker? Come on. They're lucky this isn't that tall of a building because it's going to be tough to sell it out in my...

Off to the OMB.

Ok fair enough, but isn't that mainly because the overall footprint of Giraffe is smaller? So are you arguing that it should be set back from the street, or gradually step back from the street as it goes up? Or shorter overall? Forgive me if i'm misinterpreting here. I don't think it's fair to...

What does 16 FAR? mean? This is too much of a NIMBY town, some YIMBY is necessary these days. We can build skyscrapers next to highways like the 401 and the gardiner but we can't build towers next to major transit lines? What exactly are we encouraging here?

Parc is a stylish looking development in my opinion and anything from 10-15 stories is about the right size for its location. I remember going to look at it back when I was looking for a place in the summer, a bit out of my price range unfortunately. Better get a south or east facing unit...

So what exactly does this mean? Giraffe isn't going to get built unless it is drastically altered? What kind of a joke is that? I almost sympathize with the local residents but for the most part they need to wake up and realize just where it is they are living. Did they think a major corner...
