LCBO does not develop their own properties... Riocan bought the building from the original developer, then brought in Allied.

Coming from a new member named StructEngGuy I'm guessing the cross pillars are arriving next week!

The perforated metal panels instead of spandrel glass are going to look sharp! Great idea aA.

The renderings in general and the interiors in particular look HOT!

This is a fantastic project. Just wait until they reno the old building too...

I was here this morning with my just under two year old son. I predict this park is going to be VERY popular with young families. Splash pad, sand, slides of differing sizes, climbing ropes, swings etc. Go before the word spreads!

This is going to be epic.

What about the silent majority that would like a loblaws or walmart in their neighbourhood to shop at? An area mind you that is currently under served by grocery stores. I know it because I live there... A loblaws would be a great addition since I cringe every time I need to go to the 24hr...

I understand why you would be worried about Honest Ed's because Walmart is a cheaper, newer version of the business model. What I don't understand is why anyone think's it's appropriate to save one business operating for profit from another - essentially choosing winners by policy. Save the...

Is the next question ( if Rob Ford does indeed smoke crack) does he drive under the influence of crack? In that scenario, it starts to make you look differently at him stubbornly refusing a driver... Especially if the video is of him during the day?

The OMB rarely goes against a developer because a developer will only take their case to the board if they have a strong legal and planning rationale for the project, including a positive staff report. On the other hand, council often turns down projects based on petty neighbourhood politics...

A little off topic.. But I originally shared your views on Cityplace. But after much reflection, the buildings to the west of Spadina (including Parade) are some of the better examples of new architecture in the city. If you put them in the core or downtown west beside the rest of the stock...

Faux historical looks infinitely worse, everytime.

That area behind the concrete band will house the mechanical equipment and the band itself will be clad with curtain wall, based on the renderings.

Do you know what year that was taken?

Although boring, I like Don River Park. It's simple and timeless. And it identifies it based on geography. Second place is Corktown Commons, but how many new parks named Commons is too many? I personally am not in favour of a park name that the majority of the population and/or tourists...

In retrospect, I may have used more forceful words than necessary. Real estate development is a business, and businesses are created to make profit. Some developers are better at it than others, and there probably isn't as much of a return in it as you would expect considering the amounts of...

Hence the requirement to pay development charges. Development charges average around $10,000 per unit in a condo, therefore if this condo has 500 units it would contribute $5,000,000 to growth related infrastructure costs. The City and the development industry are fighting over a proposed...

That was a truly informative and enjoyable read. The precedent's for parks are pretty awesome. If only we could get close to those!

Summer of fun for Hullmark Centre and Gibson Square... who knows when Emerald Park catches up... That project is taking forever!
