"It doesn't make sense to build a subway along Eglinton, because the Golden Mile doesn't have the densitiy/ ridership to warrent it."

Six Towers Ranging 10 to 53 Storeys Proposed on Eglinton East in Golden Mile District | UrbanToronto

Designed by BNKC for Samuel Sarick Ltd, a redevelopment proposal for 1911-1921 Eglinton Avenue East would transform a key site within Scaroborough's Golden Mile, with eight buildings ranging from 10 to 53 storeys, along the Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown LRT.

This cursed transit line is doomed to suffer the same fate as the Scarborough RT.

a note that fancy renderings are not real buildings.

I'm still generally cautious about the condo market absorbing 53,000+ units in a strip mall in Scarborough.. I suspect buildout of that area will span many, many decades.

Im starting to see it as comparable to NYCC. Last I checked, it’s about the same distance to Yonge/ Eglinton by subway/LRT from either, and both areas will end up with similar built forms.

This areas’ certainly different from that part of North York, but it’s also a new community from scratch in a well-located part of Scarborough. Not a lot of precedent for that combo.

So I’d say it depends on how much the market values the newfound accessibility, which is comparable to other built-out nodes, versus its pre-existing context. Did people buy into NYCC primarily for the location? Or the community profile? That might help us answer this.

not really worth comparing the two. the condo market has completely collapsed. NYCC was built at the height of the boom

What exactly did you think the fate of the Scarborough RT was? Because I see zero parallels whatsoever.

NYCC was built over a period of several decades.
