This area got flooded today. wew

If you were impressed by the glorified food court that is at The Well, then you’re going to be blown away by the Waterworks Food Hall.

Yup, I always take the mechanical bike downtown. There is no real speed advantage with the electric bikes for downhill travel, with them having their speeds rightfully capped (though I wouldn't mind a few extra clicks per km). I've begun noticing this behavior a lot recently too. Stations...

I've been following this project closely wow, impressive turnaround time on the 3rd resubmission. It seems like they've already addressed some comments on the 4th submission in the April docs (no changes to site stats) and are on their way to the next North York Community Council on July 9th...

Many of the other projects on The Queensway are quite real.

This was my vision over a decade ago! It felt a bit like a pipe-dream when I made those suggestions at the time. Funny how things evolve.

I rode an electric bike that was broken several times in the Midtown area as it was the only bike available the last few days. I got upset of having to keep using this one bike, so when I got to the dock over the weekend, I hit the red repair button hoping that it would be taken away for...

Am I the only one still using the card to unlock bikes? 😅 I don't even keep the card in my wallet, just in my pocket. It is quick to slot in and out and the bike unlocks right away. I don't like fumbling with my phone, especially in the colder months where I have gloves on and store my phone in...

I'd challenge those assumptions. Construction costs have also increased, and the interest rate environment changes everything. Things don't get built if they cannot get financing in place. The project may be "viable" if someone is willing to take next to no margin on the project, but if the...

Who says it is not?

A project like this doesn't really just die. Likely will be reworked behind the scenes, a development/investment partner will be found, or sold to another proponent.

New York City FC rotates between playing out of the Yankees and the Mets stadium currently, for which they are considered a laughing stock. Watching games there are absolutely brutal and the viewing experience on TV is absolutely horrendous, and it is questionable if the field dimensions even...

I don't have much knowledge on cricket field dimensions, but it would be interesting if this were to become the first mixed-use cricket and soccer stadium in North America. This would provide a strong impetus to bring a CPL team to Brampton if an investor could be found.

From the weekend:

New docs posted Feb 5, 2024 for the 2nd resubmission. Heights remain the same, but additional density in the proposal including more (and from the wording, higher-quality) affordable housing which @HousingNowTO will be interested in. Revised renderings from arch plans: It is also very...

What is amusing is that Thorncliffe and Flemingdon Park were originally constructed as upper-middle class communities in mind. It is maybe a good example of how access to services, amenities, and employment (these two areas despite being proximal to the core, are still >1h commute to the...

Office at this location is a silly idea and won't be accepted by the market.

Launched in February, flopped due to ridiculous pricing, and re-launched over the summer with a new sales team (RDS Brokerage) leading the sales. Floorplate was also redesigned in the process I believe with more efficient layouts to attract a greater pool of buyers.

Bizarre that there is no signs yet of leasing activity for this project, with it being so near to completion.
