Avonshire (Yonge/401, Tridel/K&G, 14 + 21 + 3x 22s, Kirkor) COMPLETE

ProjectEnd ... there were previously 2 cranes erected on site for the 22s rental replacement tower @ 105 Harrison Garden Blvd~

However, Carter is referring to the fact that there is a new (3rd) crane which is used for the construction of the two 21s Avonshire towers @ 110 Harrison Garden Blvd, I suspect there a 4th crane will follow shortly ... thus one crane for each 21s tower

Are there plans to allow residents from Avonshire and the neighbouring Avondale neighbourhood to exit onto Sheppard. Right now, the only way in/out of the nabe is through Avondale Ave and onto Yonge. Traffic there is horrendous.

I heard that Doris is supposed to be extended south at some point? Anyone know when that is planned for? I would imagine they'd need to expropriate some properties to do this.
 
lead82 ... there are plans to extend the NYCC East Ring Road (Doris Ave) south of Sheppard Avenue to connect to Avondale Avenue ... in fact houses on the west side on Bonnington Place and north side of Annadale Drive (west of Bonnington) have already been expropriated by the City for the planned ring road extension, I suspect road construction to happen very soon ... however to be 100% sure you'll have to contact City Planning for details

This previous posts in the Minto Spring thread may provide some info:
Annadale Drive extension to Yonge Street is part of North York Centre's planned ring road network ... the planned alignment is along the southern edge of the Hullmark Centre (Metro's) property

Details of this alignment are described in the City Planning Staff Report for Minto Gardens Phase 2 (Spring) from March 2007

see pages 24 + 25 :)

It is currently possible to exit onto Sheppard from Bonnington, at least turn eastbounds. I've never needed to turn westbounds so I'm not sure if there are any left turn restrictions.

My understanding:
  • Bldgs A+B are the first 2 Avonshire condo towers - phase 1
  • Bldg E is the rental replacement tower
  • Bldgs C+D is the phase 2 'pair' of Avonshire condos located east of the phase 1 'pair'
This suggests that Avonshire Phase 2 (Bldgs C+D) will start sales and marketing in Fall 2009 ~ coming soon !!

However, I can't quite figure out what Bldgs F+G is (referenced in the second article below) ... according to the City Planning Final Report, there were only going to be 5 tower + 8 blocks of townhouses, but description of Bldgs F+G suggests they are 22-23s towers :confused:

Townhomes Preview this weekend (Sept 26-Sept 27)

Received email yesterday which included price and layouts for the town homes.

It hurts just looking at those prices....but the price per sqft is pretty good for this area.

Oh the choices! I can have Bad for Expensive, or, if I'm feeling flush, Really Bad for Really Expensive!

Like sooooooooooooo exciting!
 
This rental building has reached the 8th or 9th floor, I just took a quick glance at this piece of faux crap going up.
 
Oh Leon, it's not faux crap, it's genuine crap.
