Yeah - the park on the south side is unfunded (it's separate from the section that is opening this summer) and the area around the waterfront promenade on the north side is Quayside Phase 2 which likely won't be ready for subdivision and ready for pedestrians likely until 2028. The bridge may be...

I'm so intrigued by how all these buildings seem to have random panes of glass missing - balcony railings, windows, you name it....anyone know if there's a rhyme or reason for it? It's random but like almost every floor seems to be missing at least 1 piece of glass.

Pretty sure it's grant money that's a use it or lose it kinda situation so I think by the end of 2026 it'll be up....maybe not open, but definitely on its way.

Temporary state - once WELRT is in it'll be tight and traffic will crawl just like on the QQW. I wish they put some timelines on this animation - they clearly spent a ton of my money to develop it...at least make it useful.

it's going to be dull like the Empire building it neighbours. Only theirs was painted so they get the matte finish.

also one of the sketchiest. my guess is the unhoused population made this no longer feasible for Petro Canada - customers won't keep stopping for gas if they're going to be harassed for money and I can only imagine what the staff have to deal with. The Esso at Front and Sherbourne only sold to...

Lines up with my guess - Porsche moves to new location early summer, demo begins by mid summer.

Don't disagree. Living in Bayside and walking through the PATH on a regular basis, I've seen my fair share of businesses open and close due to lack of business though: Nforno, Gong Cha, Thisel and Popeyes to name a few just in Bayside. Food halls are busy at very specific times of the day and...

I think something like this is in the works in the Mccleary district as an adaptive reuse of the old power plant. Also, what'chu got against Pizza Hut? 😂

not entirely wrong, but I think WT has done a good job of building livable neighbourhoods with parks, schools, and community centres. I think where they missed the boat - but have done some things recently to right the wrong, like take most of the WELRT development into their fold - was on...

Exactly why I'm so disappointed - they basically rolled over for QILP. No one thinking about what the market will be like 3-5 years from now...just focused on the now.

No one was presenting anything other than facts - no wishful thinking. In fact, I don't want more tourists down on this end of the waterfront, so I would prefer the pools not be installed. But, the plan - with the pools - has gone through issues identification (where the pool locations were...

Has anyone ever called you a contrarian? LOL. Every post I make you seem to reply with a contrarian view... As I said, it's unfunded, but they are still showing the pools as part of the plan on WT's site: https://www.waterfrontoronto.ca/our-projects/parliament-slip

Still part of the plan - pretty sure most recent renders are on WT site. Pools made slightly bigger, more (smaller) vendor stalls, docks for water taxi’s / sea bus all part of the (unfunded) plans.

Occupancy permits can be given out for specific areas/floors of a building, but if other things in the building are not ready (ex. fire suppression, fire alarm, HVAC, etc.) then they won't get occupancy permit to open any of it.
