Ima be honest - probably the most terrifying kids section in the history of kids sections...

Procurement is for sure an issue. Combine that with tight project budgets and you’ve got the perfect recipe for “file save as” designs. Unfortunately, it’s not dissimilar to retail / program rollout - a volume business. For @Northern Light - there was an article from Canadian Architect in...

I have to say, that's a pretty decent looking proposal and certainly a big level up for this part of town.

It looks like the work at 3003 Danforth has begun. Temporary fencing and site trailer is on site as the start the fit out of the old Lowe's.

The end of a chapter. Looking forward to turning the page and watching the next story come to life.

A few more renderings to add to the above.

Following @Paclo post from above, it looks like some renders have now been posted. Possibly a few more, but grabbed these in haste.

Adding a small bit of good news. It appears crews are on site and mobilizing for demolition. Let's hope the timeline for construction is shorter than the 4 years @Northern Light mentioned above!

Once again, this is simply inaccurate and incorrect. There was a development application sign on site for years . The public consultation information was shared in local media, such as beach metro, and flyers were delivered by mail to residents within a certain catchment area. These are simply...

I have to agree with @Northern Light . Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but opinion cannot cloud the facts. Some of points above with respect to this development are simply factually inaccurate. This is a good location for development - it's connected to transit, and makes use of a surface...

I didn't get a chance to take a picture, but the original commuter lot is now closed and excavators are on site beginning demolition.

Thanks! I thought I'd posted this with my message above, but clearly not. Apologies about that.

It looks like the permit for the Canadian Tire at 3003 Danforth are moving. This would be the new / temporary home for the Canadian tire that presently exists at this site, 2681 Danforth. I heard the hold up was with the garage but haven’t looked beyond this.

I wasn't aware that the community recreation centre was proposed to move to the other side of the tracks. If so, that's criminal. The area on the south side of the tracks is well served and certainly in a different economic class than on the north side. If anything priority should be given to...

The revised application is now submitted for this site. On quick glance, I didn't see any retail, but a much better looking proposal in my opinion than what was previously proposed.

Article in Beach Metro on the community meeting...

@Northern Light for the win on the great post above. I’d like to see this go forward, despite the fact that it feels out of place at the moment. That’s simply because there isn’t anything presently in the area south of Danforth that resembles this until you get to Kingston Road (unless Brichley...

Huh. Didn't expect that, not sure why, but I'm pleasantly surprised. Appreciate the insight!

I missed this was Markee who bought the site. Some of their other projects show well, so hopefully the put forward a meaningful design for the area. It would really help to kickstart the revitalization on the North side of Danforth, and could also be a good media story assuming they are looking...

I can't help smirk as I read about this. I'm a fan of the design, but I do not think that the Main / Danforth area is ready. I can only imagine that all the other sites in the area will go higher as well (Minto, CT, etc). The area needs revitalization, but without the proper amenities, it's...
