It would probably affect condo investors who are renting their units, and those buying new SFH's as investments.

Why do you think that? TREB reported a 4% increase from Q4 2014 - Q4 2015. NYC experienced YoY increases in that range between 1998-2006, as did the US in general (albeit at a slightly lower rate), and we all know how that ended. Prices have generally stagnated since, in the City at large and...

Generally agreed. This isn't directly related to your comment, but I find that the lines are often blurred (in media and popular analysis of the market) between living Downtown, living in Toronto, and living in the GTA. The more recent desire to live in an urban environment doesn't explain the...

In today's context I agree. But 10-15 years ago people were probably saying that about every new park planned in Liberty Village / West Queen West. With the amount of development in the pipeline this part of town will change very quickly.

Agreed - why didn't they just fill it with patios? In Europe it would have been tables full of beer as far as the eye can see...

Yes - but as this was previously an auto body site they will likely have to excavate more soil than usual to remediate the site. The variance decision you posted also says that the parking spaces are underground. Also very unusual for such a small building, but if they have to dig down anyway...

Oops - just re-read the Council Decision: "277 Victoria Street in combination with 38 Dundas Street East represent a significant redevelopment site for City of Toronto as both sites are needed to create the critical land mass for any significant redevelopment opportunity for the City. Based...

Looks like the City has plans for it... Although I'm not really sure what this proposed use would actually consist of, retention of the existing building with maybe a small parkette where the parking lot currently is would be nice. 4. Direct City staff to examine funding sources for a...

Yup totally agree. But only the real jerk and the east property are up for sale, not the Bank of Montreal. I would of thought they'd sell as an assembly, even if the 3 are listed separately.

The Real Jerk building and the adjacent property are back up for sale: http://www.icx.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=11862849&PidKey=623693980 http://www.icx.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=12047829&PidKey=660660416 Why would these guys go to the trouble of assembling the 3 lots...

Agree some office space would be nice. The area is already quite saturated though, and they wouldn't want to build anything less than Class A space at this location. Yonge/Eg is nice, but I don't think office rents are very high. Risky proposition. Also RioCan's office is across the street...
