@Paclo is duly flagged

Note that the Affordability period is now identified as - "up to 40 years" - in their most-recent Presentation materials, so it would appear the negotiations are still on-going.

The jump from 25-years to 40-years is an increase of an extra 60% on "Affordable-Unit Years" which is a substantial improvement.

Additional 6-Floors were APPROVED at COA yesterday -

Our HNTO letter of support for SYMINGTON is now on file and the application information on the City Of Toronto website.

We haggled up the final unit mix for Woodgreen to be =

3 x 1-Bedroom.
1 x 2-Bedroom.
2 x 3-bedroom.

For Forty (40) year period of partnership with Woodgreen.

So, using our HNTO standard-comparison metric = 440 x “affordable bedroom years”

Nice comments on the HNTO deputation / letter from the Chair of CoA during their deliberations.

Just gonna slot this here. Some ultra, mega, uber institutional type money going into getting projects like this complete in our neck of the woods!
