The site you've highlighted was always meant to be the new station location (see below). Maybe the owners are trying to do a TOD initiative like what is happening on the Ontario Line. Good find!

Thanks, and thanks for the info.

Not a prospective station site to which I had paid close attention.

Curious that Mx hasn't bought it yet.

I wonder if Mx is looking to pull a Mimico here and get a developer to build the station for them?

If not, the land may get considerably more expensive by the time Mx goes to buy it.

Would be great for the entire area to get Railpath connection up to here.

Can you imagine if (a northern-extended) Railpath, the Davenport Diamond trail, Green Line, SADRA Park, and Lavender Creek Trail were all linked together seamlessly?

Already a campaign for that!

Resi density above a bus loop, we made it happen, is this Toronto??

I like what I'm seeing in the renders. They brought the brick right to the ground instead of "floating" sections of brick above sheets of glass.

Beautiful slim looking skyscrapers with bronze rounded balconies and corners that we haven't too much of these days. As seen in the photos up above!

Alright, let's get that Smart Track station built!

It's amazing what rounded corners and somewhat different balcony railing treatment can do, these look pretty sharp. A note to all developers, it's not that difficult to make interesting buildings. Of course execution is another thing, so hopefully they don't cheap out on the bronze and/or switch to square corners.
