Finally I have been waiting so long for that eyesore of a parking lot to go.

Seems short for the location, I understand city hall view corridors, but it does seem short.

I agree Motion is 29s, they could have easily gone for 30-35s

They would have to rezone for 35 storeys. If they can make this work, they can have shovels in the ground in months instead of a year to two.

This is a Conservatory Group property.

Not sure I would want to live here. Bus exhaust has got to be a problem.

I'm surprised this is stirring again. I didn't think we'd see it before the buses moved to 45 Bay. Maybe we'll be hearing something about that in the near future…

Conservatory may just be getting going on the planning in advance, but yeah, it seems short for the site.

Bus exhaust has got to be a problem.

If the Bus Terminal ever moves, then this would be a great location. I know the was rumours swirling in the past about moving it south closer to Union Station & the Gardiner, which I think is very logical.

100 Edward, it turns out, is not the property west of Bay (which we know is Conservatory Group), but the property east of Elizabeth. The one at Bay is 70 Edward. While it all functions one big parking lot currently, the lot is two properties divided by a north-south lane.

So this may only be the west half of the parking lot, in which case it might not be Conservatory Group.

Can they fit 2 buildings on that site? Sometimes the city uses a "convenience" address.

 

[interchange42]

Good question. They'd be amongst the smallest floorplate point towers in the city… but you're right, it's less likely.

By the time a preliminary report gets posted, we will know for sure. All properties involved are listed on those.

Good news this gets developed.

Often it is hard to fathom why there are so much prime land used as parking lot. Another one I can think of is the one at Centre/Armoury right by City Hall and University Ave.
