Nice shots! Thanks for the update. Anyone know how many people will live in the Humber Shores vicinity when it's all built out?
 
Enough to support a new GO station.

No-one knows because there's a huge question mark hanging over the Mondelez lands, the redevelopment of which could bring multiple thousands, or none. 20,000 or so in the rest of the towers maybe?

Not to mention the food terminal, as there are now rumblings of that being sold in the near-mid future as well, from what I've heard.
 
Really? Is all employment land being taken over by mixed-use, multi-residential?
If the city is stupid enough to approve the conversion of these lands, then yes we will see more multi-residential/mixed use buildings and expect another 20,000-30,000 residents to move in to the area. If the food terminal lands were sold off the number will be much higher. The province would also have some influence if this were to happen since employment lands are involved.
 
At one time the city was where you worked but lived out in the suburbs. Now it's the other way around. If the province's goal is to reverse the flow of traffic in the morning and at night, then this is a very good way of doing it.
 
From a recent evening, as seen from The Queensway across the Ontario Food Terminal site.

Amazing. That view could be a mid-sized city's downtown skyline, and it's practically a footnote in Toronto's construction file.
