Sign a 10 year lease. In the early termination clause include compensation for moving and build-out costs. The lease contract applies regardless of the owner. If the landlord dies and kids inherit the building with different expectations, they'll still be bound to the contract. You negotiate...

It's definitely not an easy problem. There are a couple garage-sized startups working on it (Linttas) but they're not going to get very far without additional battery density improvements. Automation, like John-Deer's fully self-driving tractor/combine (legitimate self-driving like a Waymo...

That was a commercial real-estate play for all those parking lots GTAA owns. The rapid rise of South Core was the inspiration: Union West really meant "West Core". Commercial real-estate, and business travel in general, aren't what they were 5 years ago. Regus, WeWork, LiquidOffice, etc. are not...

I didn't really understand the details of the Eglinton/Yonge kerfuffle (5 years ago?) but I thought one of the things they did was reduce natural light requirements to below the Building Code minimum.

That's a pretty major mistake that it doesn't look like PCL is responsible for: the article hints the government will be covering the cost. Out of curiosity, is this something an MZO could solve the cheap way by simply stating that section of building code doesn't apply to this lot?

I've been on that line a couple times; its been HSR (> 200km/h) since at least 2015 if not a lot longer. So what exactly are they doing? Upgrading existing track in the existing corridor to support modern China Railway rolling stock? Canada can, and has, built all the HSR lines that voters are...

This type of thing applies to dorms, hostels, and rooming houses with shared washrooms too. It's largely up to the market to decide they won't purchase something.

Is that initial capital for setting up a new EV line or are they actually taking a loss on each unit manufactured? If the former, finances get magically better after a couple years.

FM radio is a fairly large wave size (~2 to 3 meters) which is much bigger than the drone as a whole. The electronics wouldn't notice it much as there is a trivial voltage difference from one end of the device to the other. That said, a strong UHVF broadcast could cause problems.

It's not getting built because of the construction price: the value to the customer isn't there. If it cost $100 per sqft to build then there would be hundreds of buildings like that under construction in Niagara Falls today. The interesting bit, to me at least, are the market forces dictating...

It has as much chance of being built as any other 50 floor residential project in Niagara Falls: note this is not a positive statement. I mostly found the cost-estimate interesting as it's equal to what you mind find in Toronto for a similarly sized project.

This building, at least I assume it's this one (might be 6880 Stanley) has a construction price tag of roughly $400M. https://canada.constructconnect.com/canadata/forecaster/economic/2024/03/top-10-major-upcoming-hotel-motel-and-shopping-centre-construction-projects-canada-march-2024

It's impressive that the 7th largest USA bank by branch count has such a large presence in Toronto.

That's the big question: How many $5M+ units do they think they can move. Competition, for locals, at that price range includes single detached houses just across the road in Rosedale. Being over 2 subway lines isn't all that beneficial to someone in that income bracket. Do we still get...

They're fairly equal at the top end (millionaires by net worth) but I suspect Sydney's bottom quartile has higher purchasing power than Toronto's bottom quartile simply because Australia has a much higher minimum wage but most goods (not food) are similarly priced...

Any speculation on which developer picks up the project? Westbank might be able to swing it. 19 Duncan, King Toronto, and Mirvish Village are their only active Toronto projects and all are very close to being finished (occupancy/registered warranty repairs). Concord seems an obvious candidate...

Simple: It worked for Mirvish. He got quite a bit more value out of his lot by having press and public interest in the site. Question is, was Mirvish's success a one-off or can it be repeated by Kingsett.

That's what I meant when I noted the frequent convenience customer is also one of the first to switch to EVs.

The bulk of station profits for the franchise owner are in the convenience store. The moderately wealthy, the ones willing to pay those convenience store prices on a regular basis, are also the first to switch to EVs (they simply buy cars regularly). Chocolate bar sales don't need to slow by...
