By contrast - Habitat for Humanity Toronto can build three bedroom homes for $100,000 - $120,000 ! For each luxury condo unit we could build three homes!

Doesn't Habitat for Humanity rely a lot on volunteer trades? Costs are low when work is done for free.

If Ford is against it, it must make economic and practical sense.

^ good god sometimes I wish I could "like" posts sometimes for things like this.

Well, here is a mayor who had issues with turning a small chunk of prime waterfront land within a private housing project into god forbid, affordable co-op housing, but wouldn't have the slightest bit of compulsion against spending public money on sole-sourced contracts to have a mall and casino built on said "prime waterfront land". Priorities, you know.

They should extend the monorail from the ferris wheel to these apartments!

So I saw something very interesting for the next phase of this redevelopment - the building directly east of Aqualina. It certainly got my attention anyways.

 

[FNTS]

Where did you see that? Can you describe it?

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

Well whoever wished for some brick might get their wish

 

[FNTS]

Haha, one of those would be me. Good to hear!

 

[Torontovibe]

Yes, some red brick in that area, would be nice.

Aquavista at Bayside (Merchants' Wharf, Tridel/Hines, 15s, Arquitectonica)

Tridel is in the final process of choosing their architect for the phase 2 of residential… apparently arquitectonica came back with an interesting "wavy" design

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

That's the one I saw

That's the one I saw

Where did you see it? Do you have links?

 

[atodaso]

I hope it's not arquitectonica. Their work is daring in a very boring and corporate manner.

Their work is daring in a very boring and corporate manner.

Brilliant!
