Probably the first building wont be built for 7 years and the last one at least 10 years. Think thats a fair assessment?

It's a standard zoning requirement. The city requires 1 bike space per unit in "bicycle zone 1", which is bounded by Victoria Park, Lawrence Avenue, the Humber River, and Lake Ontario. Basically the inner city. There are 2750 units proposed, so 2757 bicycle parking spots are provided.

Nobody blinks an eye if 100 spaces are provided for a 100 unit building, it just looks crazy here because the complex is so huge.

If it's just 1 bike space per 1 unit, then what happens when a household owns multiple bikes?

Typically they are not assigned specifically to a unit and the idea is that for every unit that owns 2+ bikes, there will be some that own none.

Even in Downtown Toronto, from my experience, a 1:1 ratio is more than enough to accommodate bike parking demand. Especially since a lot of people prefer to store bikes in their units to prevent theft.
