Looks pretty good. By mixed-use, is this going to be office or hotel? It'll be nice to see some variation of usages in this future community.
 
New Docs when up on Feb 22nd, 2021.

Look pretty similar to above to me, but I'll post the renders just the same:

I'm getting the sense this is in pretty advanced stages and could be shovel ready this construction season. Fair assessment, or was I fed bad info?

Last chat I had with city officials was that they are waiting on the developers to submit additional information which will then take time review and approve. I don't see construction starting on this until end of the year at the earliest probably next year at this rate. Side note - Block 12 still hasn't been issued a NOAC and that will come first.

Block 5A - Developers have submitted revised documents to the City... seems to be the last set of revised documents and now just a NOAC (approval) which will likely take a couple months at the least and shovels in the ground by end of year latest I would say. Good to see this site progressing at a quick pace.

With approval of the ceremonial naming of Wynford Drive east of Don Mills approved, and a plan to add street art along that stretch soon to be rolled out, I'm thinking that 5A will be set for ground breaking soon, quite possibly even in September. Anyone have any reliable info on the possibility of that?

So looks like my speculation was correct. Today's event related to the ceremonial renaming of Wynford between DVP and Don Mills and presenting of the Key to the City and the accompanying press release all but confirmed ground breaking for 5A. Unsure if it will strictly be ceremonial - that remains to be seen.

Block 5A, has not been approved yet by the city which will then be followed by permit issued. This will take months if not more than year. The Aga Khans and Lalji family are well connected so not sure why it is taking them so long.

In any case this will be simply a ceremonial ground breaking on Tuesday, September 27. I will post the video once available.
