Okay, I’m not singling you out here, but this is a RAMPANT problem here. Do you want to be the benefactor (because that’s what it would be, you couldn’t call yourself an investor, only someone willing to lose money for their wants and desires– hence a benefactor) for this endeavour? You’re...

And 20m shorter than BAC

Jersey City and Hoboken can be very expensive. We had an apartment in Jersey city right on the PATH for a year when my wife was commuting back and forth and it cost a freakin' fortune (as in the 500sq.ft. 1-bedroom there was almost $1000 more a month than our 2,300 sq.ft. Deer Park rental at the...

I'm married with a 2.5 year old and another on the way. I grew up in the suburbs and would never go back. That said, a postage stamp size condo on Front st. isn't the place to raise a family (the issue of condo size and bedrooms is another issue entirely!). Though because Front St. isn't a...

Quote from RC8 in the Ocford MTCC thread. It's very hard to ignore non-logical arguments, though - when they are repeated over and over again. I can't wait 'til the casino is struck down by council so that we can focus on the features of this project that can be a great asset to this community...

I'll reply to RC8's silliness in regards to the casino in a different thread as asked but I will say this (as it pertains to the buildings and not the casino per se). Oxford will not build what is shown on these renderings without a casino. That isn't opinion, hearsay or logical leaps. It is...

The LCBO DOES advertise everywhere! The advertise on the side of buildings, they advertise on billboards and bus stops! The do glossy magazines and brochures ALL ABOUT DRINKING BOOZE. Where are the stats that there is a disproportionate amount of problem gamblers here? Why are problem...

Pretty much sums it up. Go look at the retail planned for the Hudson Yards project Oxford is doing in NYC so see what the MTCC would end up being like (and the parks as well). I think that's more of a blow to CF than the expanded convention centre space at the CNE would be to Oxford.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Toronto is going to shoulder the brunt of negatives regardless of where the Casino eventually ends up. The city may as well maximize the positives. The MTCC site is the only one that truly maximizes the positives and minimizes the negatives. Where is...

Clap Clap Clap Clap.

I’m pretty sure this is the eastern edge of the mall near the subway entrance where there currently is a tiered parking structure.

It certainly looks like suites 3-2-1-8-7 are all contiguous into one suite at the very least.

They would love to do more at Square One but with a legal battle they are embroiled in at the site with Hazel and her son OMERS pension hasn’t been too keen to rock the boat at the site by going to council and trying to wring out more concessions. That and they only have so much money, time and...

I've noticed that as well. The Bravia Building is Main & Main too. Main & main is First Capital Realty, so there is a grander plan in place I'm sure. Those buildings along with the Blockbuster and No Frills would be a pretty huge site.

There are plenty of interesting sites they could go to on that strip. Pretty much across the street under the Bravia Dance studio (beside the old blockbuster) would suit them well.

I can't make new threads so I'll throw it up here. KEYreit yesterday sold 829 St. Clair Ave W (the KFC) to Rockport Group who have also bought the baptist tabernacle and the bakery next to that site (833 and 835 St. Clair Avenue West) to build a new condo development. KEYreit will have 1st...

I"ve been a member for years.

I was wondering the same thing!

Exactly. The only place a casino makes sense (not for the gambling but for all the side benefits - Increased tourism traffic, entertainment, restaurants, hotel demand and convention space) is the MTCC. If Markham got the casino and a new arena watch them build a nice big convention centre to go...

They have 190k sq.ft. in 40 King (Scotia Plaza). With the increased efficiency of BACII this is a technical downsize but headcount should remain the same.
