Regardless of how long entitlements take, or how much a certain government can reign that timeline in, there always will be an application, review, and approval period. That process determines how large the building is and how many suites it contains. Once you're through it you can launch, sell, and construct according to your own schedule. The disconnect here is that some posters seem to be saying that 'delays' are the fault of the municipality, when in reality, once a project is approved, no one can force anyone to launch. Here, Marlin Spring and RioCan did launch in December 2022, so to assume they can sell 70% of the project to get them to construction in 8 months, in an increasingly-uncertain rate environment, is hopeful at best. No developer is building themselves into poverty so constricting supply for a higher PSF is entirely real and not the 'fault' of an entitlement process of any length.
