West Bank clinging for liquidity.

They aren't changing any heights or design here - they would appealing a technical issue in their site plan approval conditions. I've heard that the city is being resistant to applications which want to phase construction for whatever reason, I suspect it's something to do with that.

Eglinton Connects has not been approved from my understanding, no? I thought the City had instead opted for a simple resurfacing with a lane realignment to add bike lanes? The original Eglinton Connects plan was a full road reconstruction to add curb-separated lanes, streetscaping, etc.

Ahead of the 1 year earlier schedule...

Trinity Bellwoods in Toronto in many ways is considered one of the defining "urban parks" in Toronto and has many similar allegories to Gage Park in my mind. Gage Park is definitely an "urban park". It's not exactly downtown though. John-Rebecca Park is downtown, as maligned as it may be. The...

The city is currently in a multi-decade project to try to minimize combined sewer overflows to the point where they should be exceedingly rare, but they have no plans to fully eliminate them nor are they close to completing the work either.

Mcdonalds' last streetview was 2015 - so yes, 8 or 9 years now. By 2016 the space is vacant and has remained so until today...

Downtown Hamilton has basically 0 chains of any kind beyond Tim Hortons, Pizza Pizza, and one Starbucks. Like, almost literally none. The few that were operating out of Jackson Square have left in the last few years.

Matt's column doesn't conflict with my statement. I don't disagree inherently with what Matt says - due diligence is always important, and he is right that Billy Biship needs to be forthright with their intentions. But YTZ's stall in ridership doesn't discount it's utility even as is, and...

Bozikovic while well intentioned and right on many issues, is wrong here, I think. I do laud how he gets actual visions done up to show points - this isn't the first time the Globe has commissioned something like this. The Toronto Islands park is already very underutilized and massive. It...

Looks like it's dead even right now. So next form lift it'll be the new tallest at yonge-bloor.

This looks vvvvveeeeeerrrrrryyyy close to surpassing One Bloor East. Anyone know if it's hit that yet?

Great to see the first tenant announced. Wonder what the others will be.

Through my sources, this is 110m, FYI. @UT Admin

TV City was filed before the height limit was implemented and thus already "breaks" the limit by a fair margin. Especially since the towers sit at the top of a ridge, they will be very prominent on the skyline. The roof of Television City is actually roughly equal in geodetic elevation to that...

"Aeon" was in over their heads here from the start and this was never going to actually happen.

September 12 (very low resolution) satellite imagery shows this as U/C...

significant discount on land prices, most likely.. DCs would also have already been paid when the permits were issued so that's not Pinnacle's problem, along with most soft consultant costs. If you zero those line items out as "lost" by Greenland in the bankruptcy proceedings from creditors, the...

Hearing is this week. Decision will likely take several months though, so we will have keep waiting to know the result.
