Not sure that this deserves a thread… https://www.urbacon.net/2024/07/18/urbacon-is-construction-manager-at-victoria-universitys-birge-carnegie-building-renovation/

I believe that this is new in the ‘nice’ part of central London. https://london.ca/business-development/planning-development-applications/planning-applications/550-ridout-street

Is it time to start a thread on this topic? I’ve always been curious as to when the next major landfilling proposal will begin as it looks like it’s time has come with the Port Lands having been ‘divided up!’

I imagine that Scotiabank Arena would be the main venue. https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/eurovision-fed-budget-9.6968399

517 Wellington West

I’ll put this here because it is a transformative project by a Toronto firm but will let mods decide. Brownfield remediation, 1600+units, central city, extensive public waterfront. Are there any other cities of this size in the US/Aus doing this...

There is a notice posted for mixed-use 5s addition at back. No image of application yet.

Taken 2 July. So much going on as 18 July approaches which was ‘unofficially’ confirmed again today. 🤞

I need your help. I have been explaining to several people outside of Canada what explains the growing difference between urban areas in the US and Canada and I have arrived at the conclusion that our membership in the Commonwealth is increasingly a big factor, especially in regards to...

302 Spadina has been purchased by the KMCLT that includes a parking lot to the west that borders Kensington Avenue. Could add a few storeys on top!

I was going to post this in another thread as no $, building, application etc but on reading it again it sounds large enough (studios, theatre, museum) to warrant a thread as I’m sure much more will be coming out about it soon. This might be a good addition to Old City Hall or on the...

For a city whose central area is considered a disaster by locals it is getting a lot of new housing. 512 units with 77 parking spaces which for London is dizzying progress! 🫣And since it is Fitzrovia I’m guessing the chances of it going ahead are high.

Brantford keeps plugging away! On a greyfield site, edge of central area and near the VIA station. 316 units and street retail. https://www.brantfordexpositor.ca/news/local-news/brantford-getting-two-new-rental-apartment-buildings

I imagine that there is a thread for this but can’t locate it. https://www.yorkregion.com/news/rebuilding-a-national-treasure-vaughans-mcmichael-canadian-art-collection-receives-25m-investment/article_2c564cff-163e-5fa2-8e94-42aabc36020e.html

Looks like this is going near Buttonwood Park in Etobicoke. https://www.canada.ca/en/housing-infrastructure-communities/news/2025/03/wadnaha-dhexe-government-of-canada-commits-to-new-culture-and-recreation-centre-for-the-somali-community-in-toronto.html

Exciting development in lovely Stratford to expand/renovate a warehouse in the centre of town into a film studio. The article doesn’t give the exact address but I think that it is either the strip mall or Hudson’s Department Store. Anyone know? Either way it is a logical next step for the...

There is more that I will post later. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/industry-news/property-report/article-sacred-spaces-become-modern-places-as-churches-get-second-lives/

Hear me out. With the release yesterday of updated population stats it is now clear to even the most out of date booster that the Toronto Region has passed Chicagoland in population. This is not a comment on Chicago!!! The next region is LA which has 12.5m and though many will scoff at the...
