I echo @HousingNowTO's frustration on the sluggish pace of this project. I love the scale and proportions of the current proposal and hope the shovels are out soon.

Hi @christiesplits and @HousingNowTO this is the developer here. We echo your frustration!! We have been working on this project since 2017. Unfortunately, since this development is a quasi joint venture with the City of Toronto as they continue to own half the site, we don't have full control over changes we can suggest and therefore cannot iterate quickly.
We've been working with CreateTO to find creative ways to move this project forward in light of the substantial changes in the market since it received approval in 2022. But, we can't just propose changes freely. We have to get approval from all various levels of city hall first, including Councillor, CreateTO, Affordable Housing, CREM, Toronto Parking Authority and City Legal, to name a few...... you get the idea
We hope to share a revised resubmission very soon and are waiting to get the green light. It might have some small changes in size and height but the mid-rise scale and brick facade will remain. We agree the livability of this scale is fantastic and hope to break ground asap.
Feel free to ask any questions you have!
And write to the local Councillor to voice your support!
