Here's a Globe article making the connection between DeBattista and Green for Life. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/torontos-new-garbage-magnate-stickhandles-his-way-to-the-front/article559083/

Even I might tune into CFRB for this Sunday's show....

It looks like this and the adjacent buildings have been bought by a riocan venture. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/news-sources/?date=+20120716&archive=ccnm&slug=201207160805443001

I recall hearing the former railway tracks that cut through the site are owned by Build Toronto.

The crane is being delivered this morning.

I can't believe this discussion has gone on for so long without anyone proposing an obvous area for exploration. The place for a new neighbourhood is on the island airport lands. It could be somthing like the new neighbourhood I recall hearing about on the old rail yards along the Amstel River...
