The unfortunate reality is that politicians in this City have always been reactionary, not proactive, and I can't imagine how that will ever change. If we were to halt densification until transit is built to accommodate it, then any sense of urgency would immediately dissipate causing neither...

The Yonge line going south is usually packed full by the time it hits Davisville, and once it gets past Bloor it empties considerably. I don't think a tower south of College would have an adv

It was always for sale. The issue is whether what the owner wanted was reasonable.

Retail will wrap around the ground floor on the north, west and south sides, but I wouldn't rely on the renderings for confirmation as to the exact type of retail that will ultimately go in here.

I'd much rather they stuck with the original brutalist design for the site.

If you're referring to what I think you might be referring to, I'd call it good news.

Nothing yet, unfortunately.

Just to clarify before we throw out allegations of lying, from what I recall the person I spoke to said it's "probably" for that reason, so it's very likely it was just a front line customer service person that didn't really know. It's my error for not making that clear earlier.

Sarcasm doesn't convey well over text, and clearly your comment caused confusion, so just accept my recommendation.

In the future please don't create misinformation on the forum. If you're speculating when you make a statement, then say so, otherwise it creates confusion.

I called the ROM today to inquire and was told that it's just fencing to protect people from falling ice and snow.

No pics but I noticed some hoarding around the ROM's entry plaza today.

I love how this is completing the streetwall and bringing some definition to the intersection.

Free market skepticism is absolutely nuts at times. We certainly need sensible regulations, but to regulate against specific chain retailers is, to use a phrase often overused by conservatives, picking winners and losers. I don't need some high-minded bureaucrat telling me where I'm allowed to...

Try the map feature: http://urbantoronto.ca/map I find it easier to use to find a particular project than the search tool.

I agree with you in that I don't think that all that matters is whether they can turn a profit. Any number of retailers could turn a profit here, and the only reason Starbucks gets these kinds of spaces over a retailer that could turn an even higher profit is because Starbucks can pay some of...

You keep making this claim that I've personally attacked you. I frankly don't see what attacks you're referring to. On the other hand, you chastised me for using sarcasm, which I could easily construe as a personal attack upon myself according to your apparently loose definition of personal...

I think it would have fit more cohesively with the rest of the design if they at least framed the box in black in the same way the building's facade is framed.

I wouldn't be shocked if Great Gulf had begun to regret putting in as much retail as they did - that is of course prior to First Capital swooping in to continue their monopolization of Yorkville. They didn't have the easiest time leasing it. I think they thought Mink Mile rent prices would vault...
