I purchased a unit on the 4th floor of the podium. According to this, the podium only has 3 stories. Must be an error here.
 
City Planning Final Report

A good indication that a 30 storeys tall Waterscapes is going forward ~

For consideration by Etobicoke York Community Council on Sept 15/09:

The application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law proposes to increase the permitted building height of 37 storeys, to allow a 39-storey condominium building on the lands at 2123 Lake Shore Boulevard West. The two 16-storey mid-rise buildings previously approved at 68 Marine Parade Drive have been redesigned to a single 30-storey building with retail uses at grade.

The redesign of the point tower to an elliptical form and its enhancement along the waterfront street edge, respond to and support the principles contained within the recently adopted Humber Bay Shores Urban Design Guidelines Update and Public Realm Plan. The construction of the final phases will bring about the completion of the Village Court and will achieve the entry to the waterfront and major focal point intended for Humber Bay Shores.

An application to lift the Holding provision for the final stage of development at 68 Marine Parade Drive will be filed in the near future.

The project is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement’s call for intensification of residential growth in a manner that implements the City’s Official Plan.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

68 Marine Parade Drive – Phase 5 (Waterscapes)
For Phase 5, the Official Plan and Zoning previously provided for two 16-storey buildings connected by a podium along the entire Marine Parade Drive frontage. The new Humber Bay Shores Guidelines envision a single, narrower and taller building which the applicant has responded to in the current submission.

For the fifth and final phase of development, a 30-storey mixed use residential tower with ground floor retail is proposed on the southwest block of the Central Site. In response to the City’s recently approved Humber Bay Shores Urban Design Update and Public Realm Plan, the proposal has been refined to include reduced public street road widths, and street-related building design details, and a taller and more slender building to create better separation and sky views.

According to the Sales office, construction will start next month.
I was told construction will start within a couple of weeks. The problem is they need to move the sales office and are having a problem finding a suitable location. They are 75% sold now.

The new Monarch sales center? I originally thought it was just going to be the white smaller building but seen more work being done beside it today. Anyone know what the steel frame is for? Is it also for the Monarch sales center?

Here's what I know about in the area at the moment. If anyone knows any better, please let me know and I'll fix the map.

Monarch's new sales centre for Lago is under construction though, and close to being finished. Once they move in, they can get the current sales centre on the Waterscapes site closed and removed. Then we'll see some excavation...

Finally, some progress . . . . the presentation gallery at 68 Marine Parade closed effective yesterday and is in the process of moving to the new sales centre just west of its current location

Hopefully that means we'll see some excavation shortly
