Who knows? here is an idea of whats going on in the Toronto Office Market....http://www.cbre.ca/AssetLibrary/TorontoOfficeDevelopment_Sep2013.pdf

Automation Gallery,

Thanks for taking time to put together all this information at one place. It would mean that, down the road, more and more individuals will be moving downtown/City of Toronto, more condos, small condos and prices going up and up. Am I correct in my conclusions?

Supporting documentation is now up on the City's Development Application Tracker. Should answer some of the questions.

Seems like the links aren't quite active yet.

From the site plan application:

Waterfront East LRT platform is protected for in the lower level. It also protects for a staircase entry to the platform from Lake Shore Boulevard

Thanks for the plans! So it looks like the loop itself is going to be on the east half of the site, but the bus platforms are in the middle, and easily accessible from the northwest corner of the building, which is the closest to Union Station. Looks like a direct connection with the Bay St Teamway, which will hopefully have a pretty easy connection with the Bay Concourse. If done right, this will be much less labourious than the current route of going up the stairs, over Bay St, then back down again.

The proposed new terminal reminds me of the one in Hamilton or Oshawa where buses pull in and back out. Are there any downsides to that? I guess with the terminal moving south of the tracks they are already getting some time savings for trips.

the pull in means that the bus terminal takes less space, which is key on a site like this.

also, anyone notice that buses on the first floor will essentially have to go to the second floor first in order to leave the terminal?

I tweeted Ivanhoe Cambridge about the height on the tower, and they refused to give specifics only to re state it will be "48 floors".

 

[innsertnamehere]

its probably in one of the planning documents, I'm sure someone will find it soon.

 

[299 bloor call control.]

It will be 253.86 metres tall

Nice find 299bcc (I love your name btw)

 

[travis3000]

Great find! Not a bad height at all

Looks like the PATH bridge goes right through where that Micah Lexier piece is installed on the ACC. So much for site-specific art. Though I guess they could move it into the teamway.

So there is no direct access to the Gardiner from the terminal?
