I love how that rendering makes Mercer so much wider than it is.

There was an excavator on site today. Something is happening.

Hardly an explanation for the lengthy construction - which is still unfinished.

I like the brick, but I'm reserving judgement until I see more. This is Plaza after all.

Back in 2008, if anyone would have suggested that this property would still be undeveloped by 2021, I would have laughed.

And for certain members saying they like,or love something is adding to the conversation. At least someone will be getting some enjoyment out of this development.

One can only hope that the towers will bring some relief and that this mess will be restricted to Mercer Street. My condolences to the residents of the condo to the south who have to look at these lower floors.

The chandeliers in the market building were lit up the other night.

The best Toronto can be is to be Toronto - everything from being assertively capitalist to treating people in need humanely and compassionately. And pretty much everything in between. We don't need to pretend that we should be, or are, anyone else.

Nothing wrong with background buildings, but this is a prominent corner. It deserved something a little more interesting.

That street front glazing is very unfortunate, marring an otherwise good looking building. It would have benefitted from something similar to 783 Bathurst.

Nope.

If they want a "transit oriented" community development, they should forgo the parking altogether.

I did read them, but the present appeal does not include his terrace. That said, from the original LPAT appeal, the traffic mess on Morrison made more sense as a complaint. The condo representative seemed to pushing that. Do I detect a past unpleasant lawyerly encounter? 😉
