Does that make 4 cranes up for this site in total?

Construction permits in place or is this just demo work?

For the curious, the latest plans calls for 1,423 parking spaces and 2,596 bicycle spaces.

Further revisions last Fall. SPA dropped for the three western towers, looks like this will be the first phase, with the 60-storey Yonge Street tower listed as phase 2. Site is now 60, 59, 45 & 38-storeys and totaling 2,532 units. Steeles facing tower: Yonge facing tower: More renders:

My understanding is that these rules were put in place as a result of the early 90's real estate crash and to prevent condo projects from looking like a Harry Stinson-esque misadventure. Canada is indeed a unique market, but the investor-friendly condo floorplates do actually sale well, and the...

I would be pretty nervous of this plan in this condo market. It has also been proven with recent launches that investors don't actually like short deposit structures and quick turnaround times on move-in dates. An investor having the choice between buying today for a 2029 occupancy date at...
