I really like that @First Gulf is engaging with the community here, posting renderings. I wish this was more the norm.

At first I was concerned that the Portlands (which I think when fully-built out would compliment the First Gulf site beautifully) would be inaccessible by transit. This transit hub may do away with those fears!

I agree - thanks for getting an Urban Toronto account @First Gulf ! That would be by far the most beautiful modern GO Station/transit hub in the GTA, if not Canada. Stay true to your renderings, and you will create a Toronto landmark.

I guess they won't be asking for any residential rezoning?

I wouldn't think so, wasn't this described as TO's Canary Wharf?

It was, though thinking on how to build complete communities has evolved somewhat since Canary Wharf was constructed.

These are designated employment lands, it's probably a non-starter. The area across Lake Shore is envisioned as the high density, mixed use neighbourhood that would house those employed at East Harbour.

Thank you for the pictures @innsertnamehere ! Exciting

You're right, I think, about how that discussion (if it were to occur) would play out; I was mostly musing on the wisdom of that probably inevitable conclusion.

I understand the city's desire to avoid re-designating employment lands for other uses, but I also think this is a pretty unique circumstance, here. That re-designation concern often arises when there's a prospect of the amount of available employment lands decreasing, but however this shakes out (assuming all goes to plan), there's going to be a very significant addition of office space here, and even a couple residential buildings (or building in a residential component to one or more of the planned towers) wouldn't necessarily change that significantly.
