GOLDEN MILE BLOCK F - BUILDING F2
From the Cover Letter:
In looking though the landscape plan, most things are fairly routine; but in respect of tree planting conditions, some pretty good news.
Silva Cells - check
Irrigation - check
Soil Volumes - very good!

Well that’s good news. I hope that if we can get a few Golden Mile projects off the ground, it creates momentum for others.Permit News, of a sort:

This one is inching along with a technical resubmission in June '24. @Paclo
The proponent here is clear a bit irritated at delays in getting NOAC, which appear to be the result of City staff confusion over what was already agreed to at OLT, among other things.
From the Cover Letter:
The applicant clearly wants NOAC in place by year end, presumably with an eye to 2025 construction start.
Renders included in latest package: @3Dementia
Edit to add: Their landscape plan was written by people who have no idea what they are talking about........ LOL
They listed Hydrangea as native to Ontario, it is not.
They listed Northern Sea Oats as native, it is not.
The listed a cultivar tree (Acer Freeman) as native, generally we do not count cultivars as natives.
On the hand, they did not label Red Oak or Red Maple as native.
Sigh!

Lacking any sense of a green thumb, developers look at a plant as a plant...and whatever looks to work with their finished product, they'll use it. As long as they're not planting weeds, they're fine with it... /s

Golden Mile is definitely a priority for Choice, but I don't see this one starting in 2025. Unless the stars align and are very, very straight, i'd be surprised to see it move into construction next year. 2026, sure perhaps.

Right now it's one rental, one condo. They don't need sales or any capital injection to start the former.

To clarify. The intent is to move forward with the rental as noted by @ProjectEnd above, as well as the entire underground/podium in common. The condo (tower portion) is subject to sales.

Point noted indeed.
It's just as a whole, i'm skeptical Choice will be moving to start this next year regardless of if part of the project is rental. Not because of the economics, it's more internal affairs. I'm being vague I know, but let's just say there's been some shifting of priorities lately.

Daniels is leading the charge on the rental side.

Unless Daniels has been pushing Choice like crazy on this lately, still skeptical
But all parties seem to be pretty happy with their previous partnership so I mean they've got that going for them.
