Looks like they're pouring a slab to move the heritage building forward to allow for excavation of the site.

I literally did not think this proposal could get any worse than the last iteration, but Trinity has lowered the bar yet again! From the upcoming Toronto & East York Community Council agenda:

This seems like a pretty inappropriate and egregious MZO request. That linked planning "rationale" provides no compelling reason why this application should not be subject to a municipal rezoning process.

I didn't know that there was a standing approval. We need use-it-or-lose-it development entitlements!

It is baffling to me that this development ever got approved in the first place. It is a total pig from an urban design perspective, does not have significant public/community benefits associated with it (only $2.5M Section 37), and from what I can tell from looking at the public record, the...

Can you post the full decision here?

You would be fun to cross-examine!

Exhibit, Museum House and Park Hyatt are all within 250 metres of this site. You can use a simple measuring tool on Google Maps to see that for yourself. Anyways, I'm not engaging further here because your comments are not rooted in reality.

lol 50ft. You do realize that context is more than just what exists immediately adjacent, right? Look at what exists within 250 metres of this site and then tell me what the existing context is. Can you refute that this context does not already include tall buildings? This property has been...

I can't believe the University kowtowed to these shameless NIMBYs when they had the full support of City staff prior to this latest round of revisions. I frankly don't see how any of these revisions make this proposal "better" or address any of the purported heritage issues raised by the...

Ugh - if it's Easton's Group we're probably in store for another craptastic IBI monstrosity.

Different house - you're thinking of 26 Howard, which was moved to its current location from further east along Howard at the VIA Bloor site.
