If only the city allowed density on transit lines, close to downtown, where people live and businesses are.

After all this time, how has Block not convinced the City to sell the Green P. Green P can afford to lose some spots at this location seeing as though they have the much larger lot south of Dundas. This project can really benefit from a larger site

a bit off-topic but relevant, the city needs to come up with a comprehensive plan for the lands south of eastern to allow for mixed-use while keeping industry, studios, and jobs there. Queen to the portlands is very hostile for pedestrians. What Washington DC did in their navy yards should be a...

Good insights! In my view, 8 should be a starting point. Leslie Street is not a typical "side street" that is contemplated in the mid-rise guidelines. I believe that section of Leslie south queen is actually categorized as a main street in the City Zoning maps. If an Avenue abuts a Main street...

Almost half acre site at the corner of 2 main streets. This site is capable of supporting much more than the cookie cutter mid-rise guidelines. Would planning agree to a more dense/taller built form here?

Curious to know if buyers are aware of the rental component in the building (13 rental units; 4 w/ affordable rent, 7 mid-market rent, 2 market rent). I hear they are asking for $1,400 PSF. I hope it sells for that price to help assuage Developer's trepidation of mixed-income buildings if...

According to House Sigma Origate paid $14,000,000 for the two properties and are proposing 30,000 sf = $466 / buildable sf I can't imagine they can make affordable work at that price. Expect ultra-luxury rentals

Does that mean the project is approved at 7 storeys?

That was fast! A 6 Storey street wall apartment would be much more suitable for this site. IMO the proposed podium is even too large

Can these developers now raise good planning arguments at the LPAT board because of Bill 108? Or do they not fall under those new/old rules? Fieldgate's United Kingsway Condos down the street would have won their appeal at the LPAT had they been allowed to argue good planning, instead of only...

I was there. I kept thinking to myself, why are these people fighting a development they will reside in 5-10 years when they retire and need care. The funniest argument was one person spoke up and was concerned of the impact the Retirement home will have on the TTC with all the support staff...

Public meeting tonight at 7pm @ Estonia house to discuss the 18-storey senior residence proposal by Revera Retirement Living

Good density, and height. Although I wish they would use better materials for this one. This is the entrance to upper and lower forest hill. It should be a higher end building, larger floor plans with higher quality finishings (similar market as 1 Forest Hill). The cladding already seems to be...

The stretch of 4 plexes just south of eglinton to Parkhust should have been rezoned with the OPA to allow for 8 storeys or should be mixed use.

Man this site was announced for affordable housing back in 2016. Three years later and no developer has been chosen yet, smh. Same goes for the Allen District at Sheppard and Allen Road - that is a massive site sitting adjacent to parks, subways, GO lines and highways. May be the most connected...

update: site is now for sale for $8,000,000 https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/20382855/vacant-land-1030-danforth-ave-toronto-danforth

This is very nice! Great Materials and set backs from the street. The city seems to be changing the road pattern and side-walking over the the triangle island and forming a nice wide opportunity for trees and benches. But only an 8 storey rental right at a future GO and LRT Station - This...

Im curious - Can someone explain to me why this property needs a rezoning? It seems the proposal complies with the mid-rise guidelines, does not penetrate the angular plane and is 7 storeys on Danforth Ave, when i believe the max heigh is 10 due to the width of the Right of Way. Should this...

Also, its too bad they couldn't pick up the neighbour to the south - the property is on MLS now, albeit for an outrageous price. If they would have picked it up they could have built in windows on the southern side and made it that much more impressive

Beautiful name - When they start selling [whenever that may be] show your ID, maybe you can can get a discount! They seem to name all their buildings Nahid
