Project has been canceled, not enough units sold. Rumour has it the 2 and 3 bedroom units were mostly sold but the 1 bedroom units that make up the vast majority of the towers just weren't sellable at the price they were asking. People who want to live here don't want tiny shoebox units, and...

Yes, not sure if it's operating yet, but construction is pretty well done

Pre-application for two seniors' residences, one 8-storey and one 12-storey, near Upper Middle and Walker's Line in Burlington. That's about as much info as we have right now, but the location is great - less than 500 metres from lots of commercial and less than 300 metres from the Tansley Woods...

So, this was never even changed to under construction, but it's complete haha. Took them just a few months

This is incredible to see, but my god what a horrible place to live. Other than those two small retail spaces (where very few business types can survive), there is NOTHING withing walking distance except the GO station. Literally nothing. Not a restaurant, park, coffee shop, nothing.

People also forget that this is a serious major venue as far as indoor arenas go. With 17,383 seats for hockey, there are EIGHT NHL teams with fewer seats, and makes it the 32nd largest hockey arena in the world. It's not even 1500 seats less than Scotiabank Arena. The max capacity for concerts...

Looks great! I'm a big fan of the design language used in all our new hospitals in the golden horseshoe, it's almost residential

Last night (Oct 22), topped out and facade complete, didn't look like much was done inside except interior walls, but all the windows had plastic on the outside so it's hard to say

I was thinking the same, it's not immediately adjacent to homes either and it's the side the shadow doesn't impact, but I'm assuming there's setback/taper laws from single family homes that prevent it

As for my personal note - no way this is getting built in its current form. Not only are residents in this part of Oakville particularly allergic to the concept of low rent housing, this building is what I would call abruptly adjacent to an elementary school, shrouding an entire side of it in...

The proposed building includes 190 affordable rental units (mostly 1 and 2 bed with a handful of 3 bed) and a 278 square metre daycare facility on the ground floor...

Yeah the eastern half of the site is zoned for highrise development, while the west side along Taunton is zoned for midrise, so I doubt the NIMBYs will have much power here

The Town of Oakville is looking to develop this large site currently owned by the town into 2662-unit mixed-use community, with 9 towers ranging from 10 to 28 storeys across eight 6-storey podiums. No renderings are available at the moment, just massing...

Proposal for a major expansion of the existing Sikh Gurudwara temple located in Palermo, Oakville in the southeast corner of Khalsa Gate and Pine Glen Drive. The proposed expansion will take the total building area from 521 square metres to 2601 square metres, including a new main prayer hall...

I feel this is worth a thread, the first major proposal in Milton's eastern block, between the Sixteen Mile Creek Greenbelt Lands and the 407. The proposal includes 166 detached homes, 136 semi-detached, 856 townhomes of various types, and roughly 1057 units in mixed-use developments which will...

As for my personal comments, I don't really disagree with the NIMBYs entirely. I do think an 18-storey grey glass box is not a good fit for this location, but for me it's about the grey glass box, not the height or density. At least they've used other materials in the podium. It's located 2...

New proposal in Milton just east of the historic downtown. U-shaped, 6-storey podium with two towers on either side, one 16 and the other 18 storeys. The proposal includes 570 residential units, 845 square metres of ground floor commercial space, and a total of 417 vehicle parking spaces across...

I think it's against code to have a main door of a home open immediately onto a public sidewalk but don't quote me on it
