Thanks for the update nfitz. I'm glad to see this as well since I'm one of the jay walkers. Every morning and evening I encounter other people like me who jay walk and I would imagine a large portion of the foot traffic to Woodbine station is people doing the same, whether closer to Danforth or...

Having no other tall structures in the area, this will stick out like a sore thumb. I'm hoping Monde will be competed around the same time. I'm definitely glad to see more development on the waterfront. It was an area ignored for a long time.

Agreed. The foot looks ugly. No glass slipper going on this one. :p

That pop up shop was associated with shop.ca. The pop up shop (Five) is there again occupying the building for another month or so. Any new news on this project?

Thanks for the update, nfitz. I agree about the Aecon bid, however, one must be a stickler to protocol and it seems that if something wasn't submitted as requested, it will be thrown out. Rules are rules. It's unfortunate as now us taxpayers are splitting an extra $580,000.

A new article regarding the condos and the developers. http://toronto.openfile.ca/toronto/text/danforth-ready-controversial-condos-10-years-after-fatal-fire

I agree, definitely not 15 secs, but noticeably longer than a normal wait. Also, I do not notice any extended headway between trains when a new Rocket comes along.

A little more info about the condo and the site. http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1015877--danforth-residents-have-mixed-feelings-about-condo-project-with-deadly-history

Here's another article about the trial: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/trial-begins-in-arson-that-killed-one/article2026077/ I never heard about the 6 bodies found. The media hasn't revealed that for some reason.

Just to give you a little history of this site. It was a grocery store, then a hardware store and one of the biggest fires in Toronto history, and now a condo. A very interesting history! Just to note, this site is being developed by the same brothers who owned the hardware store - John...

The talk about Sheridan Mall (now Sheridan Centre) on Erin Mills Parkway in Mississauga sure brings back memories. It was a great mall back in the 80's and earlier 90's housing a movie theatre, Kmart, the Bay and a Consumer Distributing! It slowly went downhill, losing customers, closing the...

Great photos and comparison. I've just moved into the neighbourhood a few months ago and havent seen the improvements first-hand, but I hope to see more to come over the years.

I received a letter in the mail today notifying me of a public meeting regarding he development of this land: August 17, 2010 1:30pm Council Chamber, City Hall, 100 Queen Street West, Toronto Scanned letter: http://yfrog.com/0e20552057danforth1px

My mistake. I think I was talking about Donlands.

I agree, some of the second exits/entrances are in inconvenient places. Looking at the Greenwood or Coxwell plans, they're placing the exit between houses? Nice way to ruin the neighbourhood. As others have mentioned, it would make sense to have the exit facing Danforth, not on Strathmore. With...

The second entrance was an idea by nfitz to amend to the plan to have the second exit as dual purpose entrance/exit. By those means, the second proposed exit will be on the north-west corner of Woodbine and Strathmore. I'm new to the area and live close to the Woodbine station. At this point...

I dont think its good. The food is bland and ordinary. Also, at the location in the picture, my coworkers and I were insulted. Not once, but twice by the same waiter on the dress attire we wear to work every day. Apparently it looked like we were "going on a picnic"

Does anyone know of an updated on this project? I walked by last week and it appears nothing has changed, with regards to signage.

I just saw this sign yesterday too. Very interesting. Do you know for a fact it will only occupy the parking lot or also the building north of it, like mentioned in the Vu thread.

As you all know, they are at ground level on the north side. But they are now at ground level on the south side as well. For those looking to buy, they still have some higher end condos available. You can see a list of whats available posted at the door of their sales office.
