I am actually in shock how poorly this is planned. The elevator rate is atrocious, many of the units do not meet code, the stairs and core will not work as drawn. The only saving grace is that this is still OPA/ZBA, so i hope this proposal is completely fake for a density play.

This project is going to be all make or break in the execution, and so far to me its make.

big achievement for this project! The occupancy dates for later this year are bonkers! maybe late 2027 or 28 at the pace they move!

This is turning out really well

love the colouring of the base brick, but the upper brick and the panel decisions throughout are not so hot.

Does the plan show they want to build over both the road widening, and then build 3m into city land for the u/g? Oh boy - good luck!

With less than 60 units they are allowed to do curbside pickup.

A less than 6% absorption rate is below what would be a target, and 25% vacancy with primarily your highest rent units (which have the slowest uptick), is also not a good marker. You can qualify it if you want, but that is not "performing well". Also, no need to be rude. If you disagree...

Nice, If executed well, this could be very nice

I heard the opposite - They're apparently still over 25% vacant with a bigger % of those being their 2 & 3 bed units.

Probably trying to make the smallest units possible to make cmhc affordability numbers work

that desk space by the window is fun! as long as you dont have to move your elbows! Units aside, the precast work on this project has been wonderful. lover the return on the ground floor

I much prefer this over the previous design. That landscaped roof really adds a lot.

Went to the Portal and noticed updated renderings. Corner of the tower is now glass, Podium heights vary, and gold accents to the white windows are quite nice. I like how this has come along quite a lot.

What I dont understand is why they chose this corner of EMTC to start the redevelopment of the Mall - the Corner of Erin Mills and Eglinton already has transit, bike networks, and is designated as one of the city nodes, and it has all the Daniels buildings and hospital - seems like a strange choice.
