Crane went up a week ago!

Historically Yorkville has done well when other areas were in stagnation. Vacancy is up but rents are also up. Large scale Landlords i.e First Capital purchased key properties in Yorkville and thus the rest of the property owners saw this and raised rents because they now had a legitimate...

What Yorkville decline? Yorkville commercial properties are selling at an all time high, rents in the past 3 years have increased tremendously. What is happening is that the small guys are getting pushed out of Yorkville due to the rents and tax base.

wow 5 pages already? The tower itself is uninspiring to say the least but given that this is the early stages, the final product will likely look nothing like this.

Is that from the 70's or 80's?

The glass looks absolutely hideous!

According to her own words she is not running again so maybe what people want does not have as much bearing as one might think. Maybe she is holding a grudge lol

A small stretch of Davenport is considered "upper Yorkville", the rest of Davenport that goes towards Davenport and Dupont is still very shabby, the stretch near blinds to go is very dead, Dupont itself is even worse and needs to be spruced up but very few developments are in the pipeline when...

not in the near future, it's not even in the top 30.

There is no BIA in this part of the Annex.

The leases will likely have demo/sale clauses with couple months notice. It depends on what the developer wants to do. Sometimes they like to keep tenants until the last minute and sometimes they want to get rid of tenants. It's not as crystal clear as you think.

receiving demolition permits does not take much time. Unlike a residential property you can obtain demo permits without really having any plans to build anything on the site.

They knew from the get go a 39 story would never happen on this lot. I would be truly surprised if they got anywhere near that tall.

The sign boards were going up last week, will take pics soon.

The tower will be built in one form or another. Julie and her team went into this knowing they were going to be met with opposition. They did not go into it just to walk away from a project after a community meeting. They also knew the site specific bylaws as well as other relevant facts so...

it's obviously easier to negotiate with one owner rather than 10 different owners, that being said if a developer is willing to pay top dollar the number of owners becomes less relevant, just a matter of time now.

I was not referring to Creed or designers walk, I mean buildings like the garden center on the corner of dupont/davenport, or the entire stretch from the barber shop to the parking lot beside the fireplace shop and the entire stretch from the living center to just past blinds to go as well. its...

really? Mistura has been around for a long time so I thought they would be against moving, that part of Davenport is very shabby, literally every building from the garden center to the fire place store to blinds to go needs to be developed.

Interesting, lots happening in this part of the Annex within the last 3-4 years

The free rent thing is not new, I've seen similar postings. Someone were offering a years rent for free just to fill the space.
