Just got this email from Gord Perks: The OMB decision on 2376 Dundas Street West, attached, was issued on March 19, 2014. http://thewestbend.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/2376-dundas-OMB-Decision.pdf In summary, the Board has allowed for an 8 storey mid-rise building along Dundas Street...

Larry Wayne Richards was also once the dean of the Daniels Architecture school at U of T - I took his intro to architecture course when I was an undergrad there, and he's an exceptionally knowledgeable architect and is very passionate about Toronto!

What a lovely park/plaza on Grenville in that render... isn't that the Karma site... :rolleyes:

^ Great find for the visuals, but god those architects are pretentious. The drawl in his voice!

*drool*

Thanks for clarifying.

A $5.5 million Section 37 agreement seems a bit optimistic... wonder if this amount was negotiated between city staff and Canderel to get the project moving, or if staff are just hoping to get lucky. If the latter, I wouldn't be surprised if Canderel appeals the proposed S37 contribution to the...

The Municipal Elections Act sets a very low limit on how much developers are permitted to give for councillors' campaign financing, so the argument that developers can effectively "buy" the support of pro-development councillors is not a particularly strong one. Although as Aaron Moore notes in...

This is so deplorable. I have a pretty good idea of what that person in thedeepend's first photo must be thinking...

http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2013.TE23.3 Endorsed by the TEYCC and going to Council on May 7th. This development can't move fast enough - as has been said already, this bleak stretch of Dundas between Keele - Annette needs a new lease on life ASAP - and the heinous...

Yes, the OMB dismissed the Beaches Residents Association's appeal on Feb 5th: http://www.omb.gov.on.ca/e-decisions/pl120820-Feb-26-2013.pdf

Oh man... is there a floorplan floating around for that double-height penthouse? I NEED to see it.

LOVE the podium. Very Herzog and De Meuron Birdnest-esque.

Also, I find it a bit disconcerting that a complex as gigantic and (relatively) new as the North MTCC is already considered prime for redevelopment. Says alot about our feckless and disposable development culture in this city...

... pardon?

Amen!
