Now I'm gonna go out of the way to say that this building actually looks ok from up close.

two of the largest land owners in the area are currently building 6 storey parking facilities on site with retail on the ground floor. Now they are certainly not running out of parking space because the vacancy rate in the are is very high (some buildings are half empty) so the only possibe...

Given the city's glazing rules, this will be another Spandrel box

It's like he took an apartment building from HongKong and pasted it over. Oh please decline.

Density on Sheppard east right now is higher on average than density on Eglinton East between Yonge and Don Mills. And given the properties along the catchment area, Sheppard has higher development potential than Eglinton overall.

Drove by the site today and these guys are working fairly quickly. Two drills, two diggers and a mobile crane on site. excavation for overall site is at around -1 storey. It's a large site so excavation is being done at an slopped angle along the southern edge while shoring catches up.

I'm not sure how that's even possible.

I actually dont understand the decision on the rolling stock for UPX to begin with.

The ones I've been on were two car trains, can't seem to catch a 3 car one. But I seem to have the best timing because the trains that I've been on would probably be standing room only even if it has three cars, although it'll be much more pleasant standing room.

You don't need to live near an UP stop. You just neeed to work near one. The possibility that this opens is huge. People can now leave after work as opposed to waiting until the next day because they will be able to catch 7 or 8PM flights. Same thing with inbound passengers, who can arrive on...

UPX is packed during the periods of time that I'm outlining. Standing room only. I recommend you actually try it out.

Have you ever tried driving to Pearson from DT after work to catch an 8PM flight out, or better arrive in at 8AM from Pearson? It's not about the car, or the comfort, or the money. It's the fact that I can make it in 20min.

It cost 35 to 50 thousand to build a parking space underground.. Replacing this parking garage with a development means they will need to dig 6 levels down in addition to the 4 levels that's probably already needed for the development it self. It's mostly a concern for money.

They are doing building D in the drawings below.

at least they're building something. although I hope it's one rental building as opposed to 3

The Porsche dealer and office is pretty much topped out. Next door the multi level parking garage is largely completed as well.

Bombardier would probably still win just because they no longer need to design a completely new design just for Toronto's special gauge, while anyone else would. Although we should put in much tougher deliver delay compensation clauses. The talks now is probably just New Flyer or Novabus...

How would those same people would feel if they didn't need to cram into any streetcars on any day because they had lost their jobs as a residual effect of one of Canada's largest businesses going out of business? People need to use the same streetcars that they had used as a habit for the past...

I think it's more that many people don't agree with you.

I believe Airbus has over 10 aircrafts completed and waiting for the PW Engine for their A320NEOs as well. it's not a new world problem though. Development delays and supplier failure has been apart of the aerospace industry forever. The Boeing 787 was delayed 3 years 5 months before it finally...
