I live just a block over so I get your point but there is plenty of housing being built in the area. I think this is a unique site that requires a unique use of it. I think a flagship library and other amenities help empower everyone in the neighbourhood. This is even more important in a mixed...

I irrationally hate this design choice I've seen across multiple condos. STOP ITS NOT INTERESTING sigh

Interestingly for me, this is one of the rare sites that I don't think housing is necessary. I'd love to see a combination of flagship library (toronto reference library level), park, museum, and amenities.

Fantastic news! I genuinely lost hope. Let's now hope that the site is developed in a manner befitting the neighbourhood residents and ultimately all Torontonians.

That's good news and reassuring :) Hope to see it in person soon. I miss the annex.

Looks a little "cheap" but perhaps the effect will be better when everything is complete.

Crane going up as we speak.

Why not just extend the brickwork down to the ground floor. The wall to wall glass that is 2-3 stories high just kills all texture at street level. Otherwise the building is fine.

God forbid we build an office tower of...... stone or brick. All the low quality glass is exhausting.

Pardon my ignorance of municipal politics but why isn't this something that is addressed by local government? Isn't this arguably the single biggest issue plaguing our city today? What do we need to do to hold our Councillors more accountable? Do I need to run for my riding to fix this (lol).

Sadly, I'm not sure about what retail is allowed in the building. Agreed on the way Starbucks occupies retail. I suspect both will be vacant for some time until retail feels confident again.

I live in East Lofts so I'm not entirely upset Urban Barn is gone. It was a dead zone and did terribly compared to EQ3 down the street. The size of the space they occupy would be perfect for some sort of restaurant or dynamic retail. By dynamic retail I mean a bank of course (sigh). The...

Exactly what I'd argue... at least in this case :P

It looks like a slab viewed from the east as well. Just my opinion of course.

I'm with you. I like the overall scale of the development and perhaps the residential piece. However, I'm not a fan of the eastern office tower. It just screams boring slab.

Question to the knowledgeable folks here. Does something like as-of-right zoning limit or prevent nimby power? If not, I fear those wishing to live a cottage country lifestyle in the middle of a 6M+ metropolis will continue to wield outsized power.

It looks like an emergency exit lol. Honestly, this is laughably bad.

Buyers can't "demand" anything. They can choose not to buy it. In this case, if they do, others will happily buy it in their place.

It looks like a new age vertical prison.

A bakery would be incredible actually. I think it would fit right into the neighbourhood.
