What are people's thoughts on the recommendation of an adjusted Option 1 for the Ward Boundary Review? The final report was released today. I specifically want feedback on how Ward 17 will change now. Like or dislike what is proposed? Im a bit worried...

Professionals would opt for Little Italy, Danforth, Roncy, etc but as prices continue to rise, many have to consider spill over neighbourhoods. I truly believe the entire pre amalgamated city will be gentrifier with much of the same type of buyer/ resident. Since much of the old city was built...

What I'm saying is that since prices have effectively doubled in the last 6 years, the buyer demographic has changed along with it. This is happening throughout the city (especially the core). There is only a few types of people that will pay effectively 800-1M for a semi or junky detach in some...

Agreed. After 'Peak Portuguese' we did see South Americans for a few years there (especially during the ROW construction) but now things are changing again.

I have attached a motion that was approved at city council this week.

There is an initiative out to widen the underpass and bridge near Keele. I think/ hope Graywood will build quality buildings as the area will have to deal with what gets built for generations.

The entire site will be developed in phases. The 3x parcels are shown in the image.

This site will be launching in a few weeks. Here is a recent article that talks more about the development. https://www.bisnow.com/toronto/news/mixed-use/this-graywood-project-is-pioneering-west-st-clair-west-59669?rt=16017

@King of Kensington Regal Heights is such a gem indeed. I am on the resident association's email list and can tell you that it is one of the strongest and one of the most cohesive/ aligned group I know about in the pre-amalgamated city. That being said, I'm sure the resident associations in the...

Very interesting. @TheRoosh . What do you think will happen next and do you think SDM will prevail in the end?

@Mithras - How do you see the Ward playing out in the future from a boundary perspective?

@Mithras I agree with your suggestion that St Clair Gardens (Caledonia-Old Weston) will change quickly. Graywood Developments has purchased 492' of frontage for the purpose of building 3x developments. The first of these developments is SCOOP Condos. I have been telling locals about what your...

That is a great resource. I live in the 016 pocket (Lansdowne-Dufferin, St Clair-Davenport) and can tell you confidently that the feel is much more progressive (not Ford). There is more density north of St Clair in Corso Italia because the lot sizes are generally smaller (south of St Clair in...

Most of the Italians (like my wife's parents and grandparents) are seniors. It's true that most of the BIA is controlled by Italians that used to live in the neighbourhood but now live in Vaughan, Etobicoke, or near Yorkdale but still own buildings/ businesses in the strip. What has become...

If you look on Google Earth you will notice that it's a small weird lane that really isn't good for anything related to car parking etc. Historical use perhaps meant that at one time deliveries were backed in. In any case, SDM tried to buy up all the buildings part of that laneway but the...

Posted yesterday.....

I'm concerned about the pedestrian realm here and how the retail building will interact with the street. Sidewalk seems too narrow.

The project is rumoured to be for sale as Main and Main cant get their partners UrbanCorp to agree to proper timelines. Now with Urbancorp having bigger fish to fry, I wonder who will pick it up. What a mess...

The Grace Textile building, the Consiglio's building and the Borsolino and Son's building are all for sale right now.

Agreed.
