Poor marketing - no orthodox Jews in that rendering

Would they even live so close to a gentile church?

I once saw a condo hoarding around there emblazoned with 'Why kvetch about commuting?"

 

[pendol]

I was thinking of buying this condo. any thoughts on the area as it still looks to be under developed.

Hording has gone up around this block this week. Looks like they are ready to start digging soon.

 

[someMidTowner]

Talk about under-reported.

I may have to get closer to this project soon. I hear Dr Laffa is opening at Bathurst & Lawrence. Wonder what the glazing etc looks like?

^ Reminder of how awful Lawrence Plaza actually is. It would be a perfect spot for Shops at Don Mills-style upgrade and some mid-rise residential buildings. Perhaps someday...

^You just gave me an idea ...

Isn't shops @ don mills having a tough time fighting against Fairview? This plaza is closer in comparative distance to its respective mall competition; Yorkdale, which by the way after its next expansion will be the second largest mall in the country. I love shops at don mills but I can't help but think this would be a losing cause in this location. However I would like to see what's happening at Lawrence and dufferin being duplicated here with some significant ground retail (a groceries store, a shoppers drug mart,) treveso has done everything right in my opinion minus that single floor shoppers which I am sure not time will go back to its original plan and become a condo.

Almost two years of silence in this thread, huh?
