Rexdale braces for a boom Mega-project is finally coming, but will residents see benefits? David Rider Urban Affairs Bureau Chief As cranes swing over 100 big-building projects in other parts of Toronto, the sky at Albion Rd. and Highway 27 is quiet and empty. Nothing in sight towers more...

I would think the hotel would be built in latter stages of the development, it's sort of like putting the cart in front of the horse.

fyi..newsletter #3 has been posted on the site. http://hurontario-main.ca/ I just wonder how difficult obtaining funding for the project will be? Seeing as it is part of the intial 15 year plan, I could see it taking that long to start the project.

The reports to the cities are now available on the website for download; http://www.hurontario-main.ca/consultation.php

Well since Springfield has the monorail, why not try it in Shelbyville?

Thanks OW, I've been asking around and $200psf seems to be the magic number. Most contractors have said $150, but they are almost always off by around 30%. That would be a construction management price though. The pavement/curbing costs for approx 1.5 acres would cost around $400k...

It would be best if you were to find a lawyer that specialized in the type of commercial real estate you are involved with. There are many different types of commercial real estate and as many lawyers. I have seen even competent lawyers miss things in an area they have no expertise in.

Have you considered buying the 3-pack gift set of single malt scotch? They are a sample size, but combined make a nice gift. http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo-ear/lcbo/product/details.do?language=EN&itemNumber=135269 I think Glenfiddich or Macallan has such a gift set, I've received in the past when...

Hi I know there are a diverse group of readers on this thread,:cool: with varying degrees of expertise in the construction field. So I was hoping to gather some free info ;) I was wondering what the approx per square foot cost of a single story, above ground parking, in the suburbs, 15k-20k...

I just renewed my seats, and picked up 2 additional. My account rep said there were mainly reds and field seats that came up this year. I picked a pair of dark greys, but it was slim pickings. There were quite a few single seats remaing thought. I think in total there were around 200 seats that...

Does anyone understand how they've already pegged the cost at $100Million, before the hotel has even been designed. From my understanding of a few hotel projects in the GTA, $330,000 a key is just an insane amount to pay for a room! (from my understanding this is exclusively a hotel, not a...

I completely agree with you, highest and best use dominates. the Aloft/Element on 560 Front is a prime example of this. I just dont agree with this being put on city/public land, and supported by council. Because it will squeeze municipal tax paying hotels. On private land do as you...

The amount of conventions we are losing does not out weigh the risk of adding 116,800 additional room night/year in the city. A three day convention using every single room in this new hotel, would only require 960 rooms. Our existing supply can handle this quite easily. The other risk is...

These are all great, we should preserve and maintain all of these. Now with all the new hotel rooms coming online in the next few years, will the addition of new hotel rooms create enough additional demand to fill the new rooms, or do you think the list you provided will produce the extra...

cdr108, these renderings are more recent. I believe this is how the hotel was to be finished.

Thank you, I appreciate that and will make it a point to do so. (I was sending those messages from my blackberry and they were a pain to edit)

Doom and gloom, actually I'm quite the opposiite, check my previous posts. Not sure where that came from, all I said was that there is no need for another hotel in city. Especially if it has any sort of support from the city. Basic principle more hotels rooms (a lot more) are coming...

Thanks for noticing, but anything but the content In reality there were more, Aloft and element were cancelled, there was another Hampton planned, plus about a half a dozen in the entire GTA

Tweder, the hotel itself appears to be privately managed, I always assumed the Exhibition place was public, no? Maestro, we lost the most revpar in all of Canada, and occupancy is definetly in the bottom five markets in Canada, I can provide data if you wish. Interchange, so exactly how...
