I wouldn't be surprised if Peter Freed buys them, although the asking price might be kind of high.

But Home Depot just sells junk!

I dunno, that whole Portland/Richmond/Adelaide zone has a certain Sanford & Son-compatible quality to it...

Some guys are currently digging a hole in the middle of the parking lot at Queen/Portland. I would guess they are taking soil samples.

Action is due to begin soon on this project.

In an urban vacant parking lot no less. I wonder what's potentially underneath?

The prospective piano from the Union Station reno plans.

hey BobBob, did you decide to buy here?

I've heard of closet sized condo suites but this is a tad ridiculous ... an entire condo building you could fit in a shoebox! I do wonder were they found the mini minature trees though .... kinda cute

I live nearby and I'm happy with the way they're treating this lot. It could have gone very wrong but I'm impressed at how very right it's turning out.

The character of this stretch of Queen street demands low rise, brickwork and street level shops and this model shows that its delivering on all points.

Somehow, they've managed to get a big box store shoehorned into a very quaint looking building. Another parking lot bites the dust.

That's a beautiful model, I hope it actually turns out like that. Which side is facing Queen St?

It doesn't have the charm of the Home Depot in Chelsea, but it looks way better than the worst case scenario. Not far off from the Ryerson Business School / Canadian Tire / Best Buy at Bay and Dundas.

hey BobBob, did you decide to buy here?

Yup! Pretty satisfied with everything, really: the location, the quality, the standard finishes (most of which are upgrades elsewhere), the community impact, etc.

That's a beautiful model, I hope it actually turns out like that. Which side is facing Queen St?

The right side of the first photo is the Queen St. frontage. It's 3 storeys all along Queen and 7 all along Richmond.

"What is this, a centre for ANTS!? It'll have to be at least three times this size!"

This is the Queen St. facade:
