Is the excavation for the second phase considered below grade work? As all the workers are inside cabs, i don't see this being an issue for the covid regs. right now.

Hopefully this doesn't come to a screeching halt in the next round of provincial shutdown guidelines. We'll find out soon enough.

This is obviously many years away, but the fact that it is being pursued is a positive thing. Rated as the second worse stadium to play ball in is an indication it's due date is up. Real grass, smaller seating capacity, better sight lines. All with private money and no grovelling for taxpayer...

One of the biggest downfall's of long term, multi billion dollar expenditures like that, is that $46 billion expense will turn out to be $75 billion by the time it's finished. Boston is a prime example. On the other side, repairing the Gardner every year isn't going to be cheap. Someone is going...

A pretty valuable piece of property to be left for too long. Like anything else, when the price is right, someone will buy it. Covid doesn't help, but as noted above real estate sales are picking up to previous levels and more.

You had me there for a microsecond.

Take a look at these in the town of Paris, Ontario that is. $1 - $1.6 mil. Who'd have thunk this would happen. http://theroyalparis.ca/suites/

You can likely include the Covid factor into some development plans. One Yonge is a more recent example. When developers see things getting back to normal, and people still want to move into condos downtown, these and others playing the waiting game may move forward. I don't know what condo...

They can't dress this monstrosity up enough to make it acceptable. It's a travesty that we will have to live with, until generations ahead decide to replace it.

Permits are imminent.

Assuming this is a violation, wouldn't the contractor be the main culprit, and not necessarily the developer? Personally, if i was a contractor, and the development firm told me to go ahead and violate regulations and continue without a permit, i'd tell him to blow smoke. Just because someone...

That is one major opposition stance. There can't be much more to object to.

It's not an attractive building by any means. Considering the location , and cost /sqft. i would expect a lot more as a potential purchaser. I guess looks aren't everything. I wouldn't want to be leaning too far looking out one of those windows on that big square boil at the top.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. We won't know for a couple of years at least if any of this will stick. In the meantime we can hope this project and the others that have been approved will start construction. There could very well be indefinite delays set in for some of them...

A larger portion of the workforce working from home may become a permanent thing. Demand for office space will decrease, companies save a lot of cash, employees are happier if they only have to commute to work a couple of days a week or less. People can move out of the city, commute to the head...

That is one ugly wall of glass. On a side street, or behind a condo, sure, but right on Yonge St? Not a good use of real estate for a thoroughfare with a lot of foot traffic.

Ask for 87s, settle for 75s, when that's what you wanted anyway. It's like the barter system.

Resumption of construction must be imminent.

Mizrahi isn't patrolling the construction site. If there are any infractions, it's on the construction site foreman, and contracting firm. To blame Mizrahi for every single thing that happens on this site is plain wrong. He does have a bad record permit wise, but worker onsite infractions are...
