IF they pull this one off, with good materials, it would be one of Arcadis best efforts. I'm afraid Toronto builders have made me a tad cynical, but I shall live in hope, LOL

Value increase. Don't get attached as it'll only ever exist on paper (especially since Metro has a staggeringly-incompetent real estate arm).

Thinking about it what really bothers me about these value adding exercises, is the amount of effort put in by city planning, (and paid for by us ratepayers) with no tangible benefit back to the city. Perhaps city spent hours should be back billable if there is a title transfer prior to development?

ProjectEnd, crushing hopes and dreams on UT since 2007.

If the City didn't want to waste everyone's time, maybe they could adopt a zoning bylaw newer than 1986? The "tangible benefit" used to be the S.37 extraction, but since the introduction of CBC, that dog won't hunt any longer.

I hate the zone-n-flip cottage industry just as much anyone, but there is a reason why it exists.

thats why he is named ProjectEnd. he ends all the hopes for a project.
