39 parking spots for for 541 units is low. The GO station here is not all day service, it's very limited rush hour line. And the subway station is a terminal station - meaning the diameter of services available to access via said subway is half that of a regular Subway station (and 1/4 of an intersecting lines stations). Are people really living here without a car?

The parking ratio is good in my opinion.

The site is close enough to Kipling station, and there's frequent bus service along the Dundas corridor itself which can connect residents to Cloverdale for additional services. There's also a grocery store, pharmacy, bank, and park all within walking distance. Not to mention the new Etobicoke Civic Centre which itself will offer a whole bunch of new community services/amenities.

So no need for a large amount of parking here at all.
 
I can't wait for trains to be at full seating capacity before they even pull out of Kipling Station. I hope Ford wasn't lying about Milton Line expansion because otherwise I imagine a future where Line 2 trains are crush loaded by the time they hit Jane.

I agree its far from ideal but the quantity of people living without a car here is ever increasing. The connections to both Humber Campuses, warehousing jobs to the south, access to Miway and the relative affordable nature of the area means the neighborhood has become a hub for newcomers (particularly intl students) to the country.
 
How are they treating the powerlines that run through the southeast corner of the property?

Much appreciated for sharing this.

This may be the closest a new development has been to power lines. CentreCourts Kipling Station Condos is pretty close, but I think this one may be even closer...

I assume you can shift the regular powerlines over that cut through the site, but the hydro one lines are probably sacrosanct?

Correct. There is no way OPG or Hydro One are letting you touch the high tension lines.
 
^Exactly this. 0% chance Hydro One would ever relocate transmission towers for a private developer. They wouldnt do it for Metrolinx or the TTC, and they most certainly would never do it for Marlin Spring.
