The Owner of the 1467 Bathurst Street property is still Kingsett Capital. It sometimes administers money from pension funds it partners with to developers such as Canderel and most likely loaned the money to Canderel Resdential to buy its partnership with them on 490 St. Clair Avenue west...

Yes, we will indeed find out in November. The change to the height of the towers was made and voted on a couple of years ago, first in the community council meeting. As I said, first it was a proposed apartment development with affordable housing included. Bentall was the partner then. The...

Thank you for that amazing link regarding St. Clair and Bathurst. I did not know that Loblaws had been there since the 70's . I must have driven by it so many times and it did not register. I only started to live in this area in the late 90's. Do you know anything about Bedford Green Estates...

Thank you, Project End and Insert Name for bringing this into the conversation --I did check out the link you mentioned and saw lots of zoning for a multi-use property including a supermarket. Took a look at the two maps and also saw amongst this material, as part of the proposal-- this "the...

Yes, 'whatever'. whatever you say. Don't really care about their active involvement. St. Mike's also had the gas station which leaked across the street and east of it. Certainly, knew what they are doing. It was leaking in the late 90's and nobody including the City of Toronto addressed it...

Yes, I have seen the information and it is great to have it. I realize this is mostly a forum for people in the industry and so it is interesting to see what they comment on.

How is it wrong from the first sentence? I know that buildings are given height allowances that are voted on and get passed through Community and City Council. There are tribunals that have been called various names LPAT, etc if people object but there don't seem to be many cases that win. Are...

Developers were able to increase the height and add the towers because of the Ford transit hub move using this as a reason for doing so. Don't forget, the original plan before the gasoline leak was reported in 2001 was for a townhouse development which would have been more in scale with the...

To Dr. T.O. David and others who posted on page 9 Sorry - missed responding yesterday to your post above. The park on the property was suggested by Canderel when they announced their partnership with Kingsett. Before that, it was slated to be an apartment building with seniors centre and...

In your mind nobody is entitled if it gets in the way of development of 30 story plus towers.

LOL to your silly response. Perhaps you are involved in developing such projects or know people who are? Certainly sounds that way so rather insincere comment. If you read the papers - Particularly Toronto Star today (A6-Province is unprepared...) regarding the storm on Saturday. Ontarians...

No Kidding. A lot of new projects -hastily planned and will be hastily built.

My concerns are related to the large looming presence over St. Mikes school, the emergence of shadow at different times of the year and the feeling of the large mass of three towers as i walk by the site. Right now, I can look over and see the sky and the street but when they are built, that...

I think I am being the one attacked here because I have a different point of view. The description of Lakeshore I pulled from the web. If you think the description is inaccurate, then you should report it to the Chicago Tourist Authority

Your message is completely off track. It seems like you did not read what I said but saw what you wanted and twisted it. What does St. Mikes being a school have do with it being public or private property? There are children back there who go to school -- to tell me that their health will not...

See reply to Vertigo3000 Also: In response to your honest post, I guess you did not see this part which happened as response to old gray towers which you are right about, they do exist but "Lake Shore Drive in Chicago is the prettiest extended stretch of urban parkway in America. It's bordered...

Here is a more accurate 'honest' representation than what you have said. See below. Chicago has award winning park and river designs. Population is about 2.7 million and there are about 25 waterfront restaurants to dine at. Like I said, Toronto had a chance and we blew it. The only good thing...

The Sun\Shadow and Wind Studies you have just trotted out do not make any sense in light of the increased presence of a tunnel that is already there at St.Clair and Bathurst on the northeast corner. Things will not get better for those of us who cross that intersection on a windy day. This...

Why do I need to move to the suburbs to have less density... Developers are already looking at parkland and ravine land there to build more tall towers. Developers are buying up streets of houses in Toronto and in the burbs that low and mid-income residents were able to rent and putting up...

What consultations???? Do you actually think it will make a difference to push for something at this stage?? I hoped that St. Clair and Bathurst would get something better than a cheap ugly development style like St. Clair and Yonge or Yonge and Eglinton on the east and south side. The City...
