Maybe the road has a required completion date as agreed with the city?

Point taken and agreed with, though this building does have quite the price point if I recall.

Now we’re talking and bringing back some good childhood memories. I grew up a block from there. That little park was a fave as a kid, and truly is a most chill corner, and more importantly, a very green space on both sides of the street. For those who don’t know, and unless I’m mistaken, this...

Always good to catch up on the air horn for this site. I was worried as there weren't any photos of it for a while. I'm glad to see it's still there and well labelled.

Not sure about stabby per say, is this area known for stabbings? I agree that this corner will neve be called the golden or champagne corner amongst anyone outside of UT. Honestly, that's a good thing. Yonge and Bloor sounds more mature and appropriate, and everyone will know where to meet...

Parking no doubt.

It's complete dysfunction. At minimum, there should a requirement to replace whatever finish was sitting there when the hole was dug, particularly on sidewalks, but in certain cases also on streets. If we simply addressed the finishing part, rather than trying to change the timing, we might...

Love it. But is there a reason why the balconies take so long to finish, or are being left to last?

Agreed, 7.7 times density is a decently sized tower. Anything more and you're creating an island off of the coast of Manhattan. Personally, I find very dense areas to be less desirable to mid level density. (But I am totally down with reforming the yellowbelt in Toronto to midscale to boost...

Hasn't Porsche moved like...3 times in 3 years? Clearly these buildings are designated to the waste bin of history quite quickly. It's a quick and dirty source of cash flow for whomever owns the land, otherwise known as the highest and best use on an interim basis. I wouldn't worry about this...

This is the correct way to determine FSI in my opinion. You typically include site area which might include some area that is to be dedicated to the City upon completion (setbacks areas), but you don't typically include roads, since usually roads are set out prior to development. In this case...

It did? I don't see anything positive about this project, except the profits from the density achieved, and I guess the 'vibe' in the courtyard? If in the photos above, they just took off the tower portions, this would have achieved a 'meh' for design and an decent, contextually appropriate...

Hopefully in time this area will become less industrial. But, maybe I am in the minority on this, and that's ok. I just don't really love the idea of going to a park in a busy industrial area with a lot of vehicular traffic (read: large polluting trucks.) Perhaps, in the future the trucks will...

I've seen peak speed cameras for years going to Switzerland a lot to see my (awesome) in-laws. I would love to see peak speed camera here, with fees tied to income capabilities. I once got a questionnaire for going 90 in a 30 near the border in Geneva. I didn't really the drop in speed was...

Is there any known plan for the parking lot in the foreground of the above?

^Amazing work from Sir Nick.

More from today.

Jon is like Mike instead of Michael. Hardly a big deal. ;)

Let the great Kingsett bait and sell begin! Btw, anyone see the rants by John Love of Kingsett on LinkedIn? Poor fella doesn't know he's not on Reddit or Twitter I guess, perhaps he got confused? But to summarize, its basically a constant stream of "let them eat cake" mentality, with lots of...

Tags are trashy, but you sure have to have some ultra low level of civic pride to tag public structures that you may or may not have had a small part in paying for. I get railing against capitalism, I agree with a lot of what Picketty has to say , but this is not the way. ;) Ok, I should have...
