So this is what led you astray from your dedication to being Toronto's chief pizza aficionado. Hmmmm I like good Texas BBQ, I may just have to try it.

Which banks? More than the big Six are shopping the Toronto market. Also.....if TD hadn't been nipped by U.S. authorities in a money laundering investigation........they, like BMO and Scotia in particular would be continuing to show significant international growth. Growth which...

The graphic linked to by @junctionist above is a good one. Its been posted here before, but no harm in adding it here. Let me bring it forward:

A modest change to the Cycle Tracks on Yonge with a Vision Zero focus:

On Corner Stores (zoning change) and the bizarre fears of some, a good column from Ed Kennan in The Star: https://www.thestar.com/opinion/star-columnists/why-can-t-toronto-have-nice-things-ask-the-people-who-won-t-let-neighbourhoods/article_e995e406-bee5-11ef-89fe-af01f0a4934e.html

Sadly, I don't mind the delay here, as I disagreed with shifting the design to asphalt. I would note that permeable paving would reduce flooding risks, and this can be achieved attractively with interlocking brick. I do wonder if they may mill some of the pavement as an interim measure as its...

Oh no............. Look who the winning bidder was: Hey, @DSC ...............they weren't even the lowest bidder..........somehow the two lower bidders were disqualified so that Sanson could pick this one up..... From the report: Source...

The details.............. This site as=is (per Streetview): Aerial Pic: Current use is construction equipment office/storage, as well as vehicle storage (general) and bins. **** Site Plan: Ground Floor Plan: Parking Ratio: 76 resident spaces to 407 units is 0.19 Elevator...

Jagmeet has clarified that the NDP will vote non-confidence irrespective of who the leader/PM is. **** This means there is no option to recall Parliament for the Liberals, and the choice is only to go to the polls or to pro-rogue while they get a new leader, then go to the polls. **** A...

Of course that's not what his actual letter to the GG says..... She certainly has the power to 'confer'........ ***** @Richard White is correct that technically the GG could dismiss the government.............but that's not on........ **** In review the rules of Parliamentary...

This is highly speculative.......redevelopment of PC's facility here (which any private buyer would initially retain) is directly across from the main sewage treatment facility and a streetcar yard, the combination of which would not lend itself to high-end residential. That may yet come, as...

That category is the hardest, by far. I think I'm leaning Blue Diamond..........but its not getting any raves from me......... But its a world above Riverside.....

Look at you, scooping me, @Paclo and even @mburrrrr ! There was indeed a resubmission, filed yesterday. Its not yet public facing in the AIC. The docs on the project page below have also not been updated yet: https://www.hullmark.ca/radiator These appear to be the current stats...

A thread for people to share thoughts on the buildings in the poll, and how people ranked their choices etc etc. The poll is below: https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2024/12/urbantoronto-year-end-poll-vote-best-buildings-2024-presented-sapphire-balconies.57307 I'll share my own thoughts below in...

The Trudeau government's shortcomings are something I've discussed at length, generally, in the appropriate political or policy-based thread. Here, I would only note, that Polievre does carry potential political risks different from those of the current regime; will (if given the PMO) he be...

UHN paid $79.25 million for the building. Which is roughly $379 per ft2 in the existing building. That's below the average ask .... seems like good value.

The Lobbyist Registry suggests something is contemplated for the above properties. These are on the more northerly portion of St. George, and there are apartment building forms to the immediate north and slightly south. The more southerly property 262-264 is noted by the Architectural...

There's a ton of independent retail on main streets, indeed, more of it than chain retail by a substantial margin. Again, I'm in favour of allowing retail in neighbourhoods as was proposed here, but the idea that the failure to pass that is somehow a sop to chain retail is simply not...

The only portion of the existing route (the only one on the table) that would be subject to Canadian investment is really the Grimsby Sub and associated new crossing of the Welland Canal. A project we should be pursuing anyway. True high speed, on the U.S. side is barely plausible on the...

This has been in the works for awhile....... I am fascinated by the choice to continue pursuing the ZBA even as they were about to seal the deal with a buyer who has no use for the zoning as pursued. Hmmm.
