IIRC it's set back in the rear lane on the lower levels and then the levels above would cantilever

Phase 2 should actually start before the full completion of Phase 1. I believe the critical path to completion more hinges on when they can use the new GO bus terminal and that will open before the tower as a whole does.

I'll take this bump to let everyone know that this has been approved with conditions at the Jan 23rd CoA meeting. I'm not very good at finding CoA decisions, but I think I read somewhere that this just has to be set back more from the lane between Cinema Tower and Pinnacle on Adelaide. Also, I...

Demolition is about halfway through the back half of the building now and I saw steel deliveries for the facade retention of the east side of the building this morning. Will try to grab some pictures in natural light if I remember!

After the approval at the committee of adjustment meeting and a Site Plan Application filed this one is all set to move forward I'd say. Walked by on my way home yesterday and it looks like they're gearing up to turn the main floor into a sales site - marketing website has been set up here...

I heard a rumour that this site was acquired by CentreCourt. If true, and this finally gets going this block is going to be insanely dense!

King & Spadina is this project (KING Toronto with Westbank), Adelaide & Spadina is the project suspended above two other buildings with the mast. In their recent disclosures I haven't heard them speak of intensification at the corner of King & Spadina, but I think there is potential for that to...

Can't wait to see the drawings!

Based on Allied's filings this one is looking like at least 4 years of construction time. With last year's city council vote for more detailed construction management plans I'd imagine for future projects we may get better foresight into project timelines too.

Do we know who owns this site now? With approvals in place and a sharp design I feel as though this would be a good pickup for a REIT or someone like Tricon to add to their rental portfolio. Assuming the land wasn't sold for too much to make the pro-forma work, I think luxury rentals would do...

Heard sales weren't doing too hot here, but looks like they've managed to pull it off. From what I remember this was one of the more expensive projects to launch in the entertainment district. Going to be crazy to have Nobu, 24 Mercer (hopefully!), 357 King St, Theatre District, PJ Condos, and...

From my walk home last night I noticed the north side facade retention systems have begun coming up after some delay.

There's no doubt that this project has a lot of grey spandrel, but thankfully the most egregious sections in the tower will be covered up with the architectural metal cladding. I'm thinking once all is said and done that these won't be bad (grey aside)!

I forgot to grab pictures, but shoring along the north side of the building has been completed and half of Mercer St is open again. They were doing a lot of works on the pipes or something under Mercer for the last several weeks which turned the street into a mud bowl, but now it's mostly...

The site plan does indeed have these marked as being residential. Also - demolition has begun on the sales centre :)

Walked by this last night, they've begun excavation. I'd imagine this dig will go pretty quick considering how small the site is and the fact that there are only 3 underground levels.

Looks like a Zara will anchor one of the expanded retail spots at the base. Really digging the colour too, the gold will stand out favourably relative to 488 across the street I think. Seems like a big improvement over the zoning proposal imo!

Makes complete sense, not sure why I conflated the two - it's pretty obvious when you put it like that. Thanks!

Interesting - I wonder how different it will be from the original zoning proposal.
