Seriously?!?!?!
That condo project needed some land from Northern Secondary School,.... so the trade off was basically an old school desperate for repair give up some of their prime land to the developer in order to get rebuilt. That's a developer trick that's quite common in Toronto, often getting land from churches that get rebuilt (Sheppard East a few blocks east of Bayview & St.George church on Yonge north of Church/Churchill).
When a development application is presented to the city,... it's not an opportunity for the local councillor to extort developer money!
There's a formula within city planning for how much developer money/concesssion should be requested on behalf of the city depending on the development. And since all development are different (height, density, zoning changes, location, etc,...),... this formula must be consistant and treat all development proposal fairly otherwise the developer will have a field-day crying that they're bein singled out to the OMB.
Look at the recently rebuilt schools in North York Centre,... it's all developer money,.. whether it's directly as per McKee Elementary School and Earl Haig Secondary being condition of the Empress Walk development or indirectly from section 37 money collected over many developments which is where some of the money for new St.Edward Catholic School came from.

Speaking of developer concession,.... developer for EmeraldPark was supposed to rebuild Lansing United Church with community centre as per density transfer agreement,... the west tower of EmeraldPark is almost finish,... yet, Lansing United Church rebuild construction hasn't even started yet. What's up with that? The church recently redid it's roof,... so it doesn't seem like it'll be torn down and rebuild anytime soon.

April 06: Lots more up on site.
It maybe this floor or the next that the flair will start for the east tower as there nothing there yet for it. The west is well flare.

I guess the green glass is going to look alright. At least it isn't grey. The flare is looking good too.

Actually, flair already started on east tower about 2 floors ago on 34th floor (now pouring floor for 36th floor). Those black square holes in the spine starts at 18 floor, then every 3,.. 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33 is latest one. One up from 33 is 34,... north-west corner vertical slab stripe isn't as vertical - it leans out so there's the flair starting.

o god, that spandrel. make it go away. coloured opaque spandrel should be banned. and it looks like they chose the same colour as trump tower. compare this cladding to delta, what a huge difference.
