I really hope that podium dosen't get VE'd/squared off

Greater density in exchange for a publically accesible courtyard park within the retail podium seems like a reasonable trade off to me. But the city generally dosent think outside the box.

More density dosent nessessarily mean complete loss of sunlight. Developers can incorporate courtyards and publically accesible parks within retail podiums . In some cases , as high as 10 stories abovd ground level. There are many examples of this in Asia

Regardless of whether you think the city is foot dragging (I believe community consultations should be scrapped so you may consider me biased ) BOC rate cuts pose an even greater danger of this project turning into a zoning excercise/land banking flip. It's possible that was the intention all...

One danger of the city dragging their feet over this nonsense is that the developer could sell the site, and this nice AUDAX proposal could quickly turn into a cheapo Wallman or G&C proposal Plenty of pocket parks in the NYC that are heavily shaded and nicer than most of our parks. Id take...

I understand revising the proposal to accomodate for widening Eglinton W but Too tall? Shadowing?? look at the height of the building immediately to the east. This sounds like the "creeping density" rhetoric from people living in sprawling SFH. Why dont they move to Peterborough?

I hope the current Wengle design is retained.

The execution of the facades are beautiful... I just hope they become home to a decent restaurant or cafe and not another weed dispensary eyesore

I really hope skygrid isnt ommiting the spot lights on the exoskeleton . Soft spot lighting looks so much better than harsh LED strips

Consultation with local residents is unnessasary and only serves to slow down the approval/building process, adding more costs for the buyer

I'm sure planning will drag their feet for 10 years and this might break ground in 2036

"Mull" 3-4 years of endless meetings before any concrete decision is made

Mink Mile was nicer before the 2010s. It really took a nose dive when Pottery Barn closed and the hideous Chic Fil A and Tokyo Smokes opened . Now Id rather buy around Yonge & St Clair or Bathurst/St Clair or Bathurst/Eglinton.

Monetary policy drove prices up across all of Canada during the Covid Bubble and the effects of this absurd liquidity continue to stimulate major cities across Canada. Foreign immigration/international students and mortgage fraud almost exclusively effect the GTA & Lower Mainland. Edmonton has...

It turned out more ''subtle' than I expected from the renders, which is a good thing! This was achieved by the balcony rail color matching the facade (as opposed to silver or grey balconies), and use of white paint under the balcony. I was expecting the balconies would get more obnoxious...

Rent is artificially high due to overly relaxed/low down payment requirements (too much leverage being passed down to the renter) and mortgage fraud. Which in turn, creates a new "floor" for the rental market. The countrys relaxed attitude towards substandard living arrangements (as opposed to...

It's overall good, except for the glaring absence of retail and boxy street level . It'd look much better with an arched colonnade Current lines are a bit too harsh.

I wonder how much pressure this new terminus will take off Kipling?

I wouldnt be excited due to both value engineering and community consultations dragging this out for 2 decades

Mixed feelings so far. Normally I hate cantilevers, but I love the curve on this one. Could do without the staggered dated wallpaper, but the material quality and color palette is decent.
