It's encouraging to see such good work coming from the City.
Overall, this is an elegant, quality design and I'm very excited to see this getting built!

Preliminary Report on this one to the next meeting of TEYCC:

https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2022/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-223876.pdf

The Issues to be Resolved section for this one is rather odd; some is unavoidable pro-forma......but this one made me laugh a bit:

Ummmm....ummmm

Confirmation in a report to the next Toronto Parking Authority meeting that the parking garage beneath the park at 229 Richmond is nixed:

Going backwards now, to look at what led up to this:

Points 2 and 3 are critical as to why this is really great news.

New renderings are updated in the database! The project information has also some changes too! The total unit count decreased from 848 units to 813 units. The overall storey count changed from 60 storeys to 61 storeys. The total height also changed from 199.30m to 196.80m. Finally, total parking remains the same at 97 parking spaces.

The renderings are taken from the architectural plan via Rezoning Application:

I love all the setbacks on the lower this of the building. it's too bad they chose not to continue that design element the full length of the tower. from a distance it will look like just another generic box.

Why would CentreCourt want to shave away at the buildable area in their tower?

Why would CentreCourt want to shave away at the buildable area in their tower?

Do they actually own all the land now ? Would be curious to see how the city valued the land in a site they zoned in 1 year with a 20% affordable requirement.

In respect of the new park at 229 Richmond, the City has a 'thought exchange' / survey open right now for people to basically share/rank/rate priorities as to what the priorities for this park are, ie. how it will
programmed.

Something new is up here............which will delay this project by at least a little bit.

In a report to next week's CreateTO meeting, we see this:

Odd to see this after we've already gotten through the Final Approval stage.....

This is approved actually, so I went by this property as well as Freed's property across the street to inspect. In both cases tenants are still present, except for Crocodile Rock, which it turns out closed in March due to the pandemic. I didn't realize that, I thought it closed due to development ramping up. The things you learn from on-site inspections.

Croc Rock is part of another development, 240 Adelaide W—also ~200m tall. This development will replace the existing firehall.

@Northern Light

What's your take on CreateTO's mysterious joint venture regarding 254-260 Adelaide West? They are already a partner here with CentreCourt, no?

Do they want a bigger stake to trigger even more affordable units (up from 20%)?
