    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    Translation: I'm smarter than everyone, including those who've decided to keep the building going. They should be listening to me because I'm smart. Did I say the word "fraud" yet? "Fraud".

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    I'll point out—though I really shouldn't need to—that roads existed before cars, and aside from work animals like donkeys, horses and oxen, they were shared with pedestrians and later cyclists.

    Not likely given the saturation in the area, but I don’t think it’d fly well with the tenants/hotel; Galen Weston’s recently taken a “confine and scrutinize” approach to customers (see; recent changes to Loblaws on Carlton, and the presence of paid duty cops as security). Very few cashiers, but...

    Frankly, all Hollisters should close. But that’s just a matter of personal taste. ;)

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    With Crombie running for liberal leadership tonight; it makes me wonder if Ford might axe the dissolution of Peel just to spite her.

    The construction style might be a bit of an albatross then; a bit more expensive than most might want to pay for scooping up something on a firesale.

    Toronto Eaton Centre (Ongoing Renewal) | ?m | ?s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    I walked through it this past Saturday. Despite attempts to gin it up on CFs part, it actually wasn't overly interesting. It's all spread really thin and people weren't exactly stopping to check it out en masse.

    With the specialized construction, my assumption is that tearing down what's currently there to build something else would be far more expensive than tearing down just any standard building. And selling a property with a half-completed building on it is gonna be problematic as well, regardless...

    It was a scourge in the downtown for a long time.

    With Pusateri's, Whole Foods and Eataly in the area, it might be a bit overkill.

    Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (nCoV-2019)

    Only open to the "general" population for after October 30th though. High-risk groups only 'til then.

    Maybe the next tenants will install a mezzanine.

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    I wouldn't agree with that. I'd be surprised if rising interest rates, being on the brink of recession and a post-covid move away from "luxury" doesn't play a much bigger part in all of it than Mizrahi's operations themselves. The anti-Mizrahi doom-and-gloom was already well under way long...

    Toronto One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    They're trying too hard to be "Yorkville" when I think they should be "Yonge". Which is probably why Chick-fil-A is thriving, but everything else is not. I feel the Ballroom will work out, as there aren't many other bars in the area that likely appeal to the big sub-30 & student population...

    It might (and does?) fly in Liberty Village, but the ever growing student demographic along Yonge doesn't seem like a good market for a luxury new age gym. As for a bar, Altea does H20 and smoothie bars. If they set up an "adult arcade" per the LV location, that'll put them in direct...

    It’s all about fluffing the client.

    You'll note the Winners/Homesense isn't there, either. Not even so much as a placeholder.

    Bloor-Yorkville Scene

    I will point out that Arlin Markowitz was one of the brokers I worked with at Royal LePage/Cushman Wakefield from where and when I base my opinion. Because these brokers tend to lean hard on what's going on elsewhere in the area, something that's just barely in negotiations gets added to...

    As someone—who for about a decade—actually did these types of unit leasing diagrams, I will say not to take them as gospel. A lot of times speculation gets leapt on without proof, and there are often errors (almost always the part of the realtors themselves). Case in point, the unit listed at...

    But, but, the conservatives always tell us they’re fiscally responsible financial geniuses! Please tell me that’s not a lie!
