Why can't we have nice things in Leaside? And if this thing turns out to be a disaster, is that not going to make it less likely that more of them will be built?

I hope the finishes are decent because that is some horrendous built form. Just a rectangular slab. This is the infamous developer that promised to protect a large tree but then cut it down illegally, right? I cannot tell you how much the neighbourhood hates this guy right now

Nothing that hasn't been sold already is currently starting up. Nothing is selling, so I don't see any current project in development or proposal stage happening for at least 4-5 years. Build costs now are considerably higher than resale values of existing condo units. And there's no sign of the...

Is there retail at ground floor?

I'm not gonna lie, I did not think at any point in the last 2 years that this thing is going to get anywhere near done.

Supercool pics. It's incredible how a new, dense(ish) community was just willed into existence here. From the pics, lots more space for buildings. I have to say so far most of the tall stuff at VCC has turned out surprisingly well!

Ah the old "I'll misread this here post so I can make fun of someone because that makes me feel like a big man" approach. Good for you, Sir. Did you miss that part about consulting about moving the course (not the bridge, obviously)? No, of course not. Carry on. Hope you have a good day

My beloved Seton park disc golf course has been pretty much demolished for the other bridge in the area, further north by the Science Centre. I'm all for progress, but I really wished they would have consulted with the disc golf community and moved the course somewhere else.

Yup, pretty much everything is designed to slow cars down. Some of it is fine and necessary, but the overreach is real

Drove across Eglinton from Black Creek to Chaplin and looks like 99% of the roadwork is done. It was quite refreshing to see Google recommend I take the most direct route home! I only wish they would sync some of the lights that are really close to each other.

Agreed. Decent quality materials at street levels, and will be a nice addition when finished. Definitely a "looks better in person" type of project.

Holdout property sold for $2.65m, over a million more than asking. The listing pushed a) parkland possibility and b) possibility of 4-storey apartment building. Curious who bought it and what it will be used for.

What else is in the concrete structure besides the elevators? Or is it just elevators? Seems like a lot of floorspace at this level.

Has anyone noticed all the plastic bottles in that dude's car? Wow, that's weird, eh

Good news. Nuclear is the best option for clean energy for us without steady sunlight or wind. Like others have said, electricity use will skyrocket with the shift to decarbonized transportation and manufacturing. We need all the low CO2 juice we can get.
