Too bad the companies keep moving away from Yonge + Eglinton.

haha not true ... even if UT did ; - )

Leasing is pretty strong in the area and there is very limited available space. Y&E is usually the worst of all the mid town offices nodes, which are, Yonge and Bloor, Yonge and St. Clair, and Yonge and Eglinton. But still we are typically talking about sub 7% availability rates.

Red Hat and several other tech companies have moved into the area as of late, though they take only a little space.

The building (existing office building) looks to already be boarded up.

Aviva will probably consolidate this office in their new building in Downtown Markham.

From the Planning Department:

Old images from April 2014 that I haven't seen here yet:

It's great to see that some office is being preserved here (not sure what proportion it is to what exists currently) but there is no way that the hacks at Turner Fleischer will be able to realize something remotely like what they've presented here. I'd love to be proven wrong though...

Is there anything in the office ? Can't imagine Aviva has anything here anymore given the office in Markham / Scarborough

This one has morphed again. Back in April 2016, Madison applied for an Official Plan Amendment to get this through planning, having been told by the department that they considered the rezoning to not be enough for this block. In February 2017, they then resubmitted a for rezoning with a scaled down proposal, this time down to 24 storeys and 92 metres high. Still with Turner Fleischer Architects, who had designed the previous 29-storey version. dataBase file and thread title updated.

Nice to see some action west of yonge.

 

[Midtown Urbanist]

24 storeys this close to the intersection of Yonge and Eglinton is ridiculously low. We are going to have such a huge disparity between this site and the immediate corners of Yonge and Eglinton.

I would wait until E Condos is finished, the Crosstown is complete, and 1 Eglinton East is underway if I were the developer. That will set new precedents for the area. Especially when negotiations begin for the Eglinton Bus Bays.

This one was resubmitted in February with some revisions: http://app.toronto.ca/DevelopmentAp...ion=init&folderRsn=3538674&isCofASearch=false

So this was adopted, sort of.

Cllr Carmichael Greb's (intellectually lazy) motion to ignore staff and refuse lost (thankfully), but Cllr Matlow's motion to amend to request that Madison provide full office replacement and address built form concerns relating to Eglinton Connects passes:
