Hey Tim, any idea what this is?

Also, where? (I'm lost west of the DVP... )

This is the Southeast corner of Dundas and Mississauga road. There is a development planned for this parcel and details are here:https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/2935-and-2955-mississauga-road.48206

Across Mississauga road and up the embankment just above my name is another development planned for the industrial looking building: https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/carmel-heights-seniors-redevelopment.51046

Off in the distance is the Sheridan Mall which was since been renamed to something I have totally forgotten. Condo towers are planned for some of the peripheral parking lots.

Geolocated to the corner of Southdown Rd & Royal Windsor Dr, next to Clarkson GO station:

Dundas and Bloor in Etobicoke continues to evolve. Construction on the new Etobicoke Civic Centre in the lower left is visible.

Dundas and Bloor in Etobicoke ...

At least you told us which "Dundas and Bloor" this was (I would assume most of us would know from the photo anyway), unlike the radio news and traffic reports that leave people guessing whether the fire or blocked intersection they should avoid is there or the one near the GO/UPX station.
