My gist is more of a renovation expansion project. Bell Media will continue to anchor the site after completion. There's an actual chance condo towers would not be included and infill that doesn't rise above and over top of 299.
76 Adelaide is a different company under the BCE banner

Previously, Bell's memos indicated that would return to the facility upon completion of whatever project was contemplated. I hope that is still the case.
Curious that they have a firm move out date given that we have yet to see an application into the AIC.
Even if pre-app has been close to finalized (and that seems unlikely as normally they would do a pre-app public meeting these days), it seems unlikely we'll see work done here this calendar year.

Site hasn't traded, unless there's a private deal that's being worked out with Bell. RFP for a development partner was issued in 2022 and I don't know if anyone was selected. Cushman was handling that one.

"The Residences at 299" has a good ring to it.
Still, seems like an odd move given the branding and reputation that comes with calling 299 Queen Street West home.

I'd love to see this become something similar to 401 Richmond.

As usual I will piss off some people by saying that I see at least 60s here in either one or two towers. The only thing that I am unsure of is how the shadowing of the Grange may affect things. As far as form goes maybe something similar to the
Scotiabank Cinema proposal. And a space for OCAD or Northeastern.

Any tower can go on the existing parking lot. The heritage building needs to be left alone.As usual I will piss off some people by saying that I see at least 60s here in either one or two towers.

OCAD purchasing the building would be great.

And while I am at it they could glass over the courtyard and do a Berlin Sony Centre thing! Also does OCAD have a large performance theatre? And are they still looking to have a library? Imagine a joint city, provincial and federal effort to build a really great library like Ottawa is getting. Sigh! lol

Story from The Star:
www.thestar.com
Not much more info, but some............pointing to a different timeline on any potential development...
So we now understand that there will be an onsite presence of Bell (BNN) through at least Q3 2025.
Insufficient info to determine intent as to the other shows broadcast from this site, as well as the radio assets.
CP24 leaving Queen Street, moving to Bell Media’s Scarborough studios in October
Other Bell Media operations, including BNN, will make the move to Agincourt as well, a memo from the president of Bell Media said.
