1st Aug N.E. Corner Site Digging has begun! Maybe a foot or so…. (Apologies for the terrible picture!)

Replacing the car dealership? It’s only been there for a bit over a decade and sending all that building material to a landfill already seems wasteful.The condos on the Old Mill dealership’s old site haven’t been finished long.

tease!

I was curious about that too - Spadina itself is a total mess atm so I am not sure where you are sending the traffic from Lakeshore E. next once it is on Spadina...

Or just put pigment into the concrete. Maintenance is going to be a PITA.

And the area directly to the south is a good case in point. Streets and streets of town houses were built in the late 2000's and the TDSB etc. anticipated a large inflow of families. Instead, they were snapped up by landlords and stacked to the roof with (mostly foreign) students. There were...

Seems low given the buildings to the immediate south and east…

It's quite a way from the other FASE buildings.

Anyone know if it is actually selling? It has launched into a very difficult market…

Great shot xxxxxxii! I wonder what the area will look like in a decade. There is so much scope for density in that frame.

NE corner building - The issue with a height above 15 storeys is said to be the presence of Ogden elementary school which is NE of the site. Shadows on the playground…. (I also agree that the sidewalks need to be widened, especially on the SW corner and brought it up at the Metrolinx...
