Variances look positive. Hopefully eliminating the parking and adding units will make this more financially viable.

Taken Saturday, March 1st. At least the western (white) building doesn't appear to be occupied. Maybe no buildings are yet?

@Towered - where is this one? With the tiny commercial property?

(Centre, shurely)

New article by John Lorinc in today's Globe Real Estate section (possibly behind a paywall) about Toronto Specials. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/article-how-the-toronto-special-triplex-is-a-model-to-help-address-the-housing/ See also my map here, for any additions to suggest...

Somehow missed that there was going to be a marina included!

Seems like a missed opportunity for the 'private laneway' that is being provided for vehicular access for this development won't be connected to the north-south laneway between Gladstone and Northcote that runs south from Argyle and dead ends exactly here. .

Not a lot of space on the south side of the tracks for the streetcars to extend through to Dufferin (and beyond)?

The American spelling of 'Centre' in the rendering is unfortunate...

Attractive cities aren't necessarily the move. Messy is best!

Hopefully this is the last time one of our public institutions does such a massive carbon-intensive (concrete) parking garage project... A step in the wrong direction for our climate targets.

A bit of a shame not to have balconies overlooking the cemetery - a perpetually-unspoiled view...

Looking forward to the Dufferin bus being replaced by streetcars!

This concrete looks amazing! I wonder who the contractor was doing the concrete work? Hard to get good concrete work in my experience...

Controversial take: Millennium Park is too big and is a border vacuum. Ours will be better. Our waterfront (Harbourfront) is already better than Chicago's.

Cool initiative, in theory, but this is much too little housing for this location. And this area is not lacking for parks. Should be something like 6 storeys here. Building this would leave at least three times the housing on the table.

I second the praise for the wayfinding. Any idea who did the signage design? In-house at Architects Alliance, or the landscape consultant?

344 Dupont is not part of this redevelopment, hm? Not included in the latest posted drawings.

My Google mapping of Angel Brick Walk Up Apartments, "Toronto Specials", was featured in a column by The Globe & Mail's Dave LeBlanc (the Architourist) in today's paper. Behind a paywall: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/toronto/article-the-toronto-special-ubiquitous-but-unheralded/...

The number 10 bus has a stop at Chrislea and Portage, at the northeast of this site. Service is awful at about twice hourly, but if you're willing to time your departure, you're a five minute trip away from the subway terminal.
