It’s a terrible plaza. When you visit you are anywhere and nowhere, all at the same time.

I understand your perspective and I agree the lack of transparency is unfortunate. Just one minor point: It is possible that the lease rate takes into account some perceived value of the buildings or improvements, but a commercial lease would never allow a lessee in default to auction off a...

I'm not sure it's sitting with the City. When I checked a few days ago, most of the permit applications were closed, and two said "Examiner's Notice Sent", which could mean they got zoning approval, or some information was required from the applicant. It is very frustrating to see this space...

I'm not sure I see the issue. Other than bringing electrical and water services to the island (which is admittedly a significant expense), the remainder of the funding is coming from private sources. This is also a lease, not a sale. If the business goes tits up, the land will remain publicly...

Wow that is quite the structure. I can't imagine that's for archeological purposes alone - looks quite permanent. Staging facilities?

How is this different than what was already rejected at OLT? The problematic Church St. massing is basically the same, just somehow worse. I kinda hope the City rejects this... again.

Do you know much more about this project? Is it a full reconfiguration / reconstruction of the bridges and onramps? I haven't heard anything about it, though I live quite literally overhead.

They’re working on a Saturday. Looking sharp.

Oh, we've been at "dud" for a while. This one is nowhere near as bad as Home on Power.

Good news. Looks like it was painted a tasteful off white. Like a very light brick colour.

While I'm never a huge fan of grey, the building looks almost exactly like the render, down to the window formats. I think it will look a bit better once the balcony glass is installed. Overall, decent job for a small development IMHO.

From what I understand, these courtrooms are primarily for parking / HTA / provincial offences. These are generally not maximum security courtrooms. Criminal charges will continue to be heard at Old City Hall and other locations until the new court behind City Hall is completed.

I don't get the love. There are a few interesting things about the build, but to me the black is monotonous and overbearing. It looks like an industrial complex.

This one took so long to get out of the ground. By contrast now, they are absolutely flying -- about a floor every 1.5 weeks.

No joke, more than half of retail space on King Street East between Yonge and River is vacant. It looks terrible and provides no services to the neighbourood. Unfortunately, it seems a lot of landlords are “waiting for the right tenant” (a.k.a. charging too much rent for small business). While...

Shoring has started on this one. From a few days ago
