Bring it on. I'll be interested to see if the locals have strenuous objections - it's all strictly lo-rise along that stretch.

Looks like a pretty refreshing take on urbanism for Mississauga, actually. Mid-rise and appreciable densification done sensibly. The green space snaking through it has real potential.

Well, it's nice to dream.

This place is moderated - as with most sites, much depends on what you are saying - or how you are saying it.

Lovely! Elegantly minimal.

Place looks like it's a bunker... where you'd go to wait out an air raid. The proposed new addition reminds me of a dystopian guard tower. So maybe it all weirdly belongs together.

My guess? FruitCo will probably use any lasting strike as simply another bargaining chip.

Not that this is really on topic, but I suspect trade strikes are merely part of a larger, very contemporary problem - labour and union unrest owing to soaring costs of living and huge affordability issues for a broad demographic swath.

Really have to wonder how entrenched this latest wave of labour unrest will be in terms of its impact on construction projects around town. I feel for the people who have made downpayment on various builds.

Yeah, agreed - it's a gateway corner and this is definitely both imposing and drearily underwhelming.

It's definitely useful to consider that most cities go through staggered phases of robust growth spurts followed by periods of relative inaction and stasis - roughly coinciding with economic booms and dips. In that regard, many younger Torontonians may be forgiven for thinking that the horizon...

Not jazzed by the design either but at least it went up to 5 stories. That's a win in my book, however small, and it helps, in its own small way, to raise the bar for more development along this strip.

Two words: truck tax.

Disinformation time! Oh, goody.

The historical centre of Guelph is very charming indeed. I like the way this pocket city is evolving.

I think step-backs in mid-rise multi-units are popular in many neighborhoods like Leslieville and elsewhere because they tend to be not quite as daunting and dominating over the older, lower-height built form amongst them. That said, I agree with egotrippin, it'd be nice to have more instances...

Funny, that. I often find that the difference in cladding for a single building can be jarring - a very different kind of "visual impact."

What's the reasoning behind that directive, though? I'm a bit mystified that it's actually encoded in city planning. Help a guy out!

My misunderstanding then! I had no idea. Wow.

Personally, I just don't see it following. The city's not telling developers that they must change the cladding once a setback occurs, after all. I don't think you can make a solid case for a causal connection there. I would tend to lay the bulk of the blame on developers.... it often appears...
