Ah the old grocery store / sobeys got leased finally ?? Looking at Marcanadian first pic

That's 530 Yonge St., correct? I believe it was sold to Kingsett in 2015 Q3

*on that note, Kingsett also bought Panasonic Theatre at Yonge and St.Mary in Q4. They are buying up Yonge between Bloor and College.

I really cant get enough of this tower. It's truly striking from every angle, and it's a pleasant way to take your eyes away from the Casas.

It appears that yet another Aroma cafe will be going in on the corner of St. Joseph and Yonge.

Royal Bank and Aroma. The preserved street level buildings on Yonge are great, the retail a real meh though.

Aroma's decent, I guess.

The latest kimmy schmidt season on gentrification...

 

[A Torontonian Now]

A friend of mine ranks the level of gentrification of a neghbourhood according to the ratio of banks vs. payday loan shops.

A neighbourhood with just payday loan places is probably a bit rough.

A neighbourhood with just banks is sterile and unaffordable.

If I recall correctly, he maintains the perfect ratio is 2 to 1 banks vs. payday loans. Gentrification is underway, but prices remain affordable. There is some grit, but you feel safe walking the street at night.

Moving away from gentrification, for a moment, a couple from yesterday. I have to say, I've been somewhat skeptical of the design but I was pleasantly surprised by its appearance IRL.

Lots going on here architecturally...but hopefully it will all come together and look sharp once all the finishing touches are completed.

 

[old boy]

The small angular crown is not in a pleasing proportion to the undulating sides as seen in the southern elevation. The other elevations are just ok .

 

[Benito]

From today. The commercial space in the lane way seems to be coming along. Sorry I couldn't get closer the workmen were giving me the evil eye.

 

[vatche]

What's gonna happen to that lane way? Stores? Restos?

 

[mig174]

will they ever finish the balconies?
