Excellent @AlbertC ; you noticed I left you that one. LOL

This is the third box of this type in only a few days, same basic composition, slightly varied heights, 2 on Royal York, 1 on Queensway.
 
Watching these 3 x sites , now.
 
A good Front Page story on this one and its cousins by @Anthony Teles :

Leader Lane Bringing Sustainable Rental to Mimico | UrbanToronto

Leader Lane Developments' Halsa at 230 Royal York Road, a 9-storey mid-rise designed by LWPAC Architects, is set to transform Toronto's Mimico area. UrbanToronto recently spoke with Councillor Amber Morley of Ward 3, Etobicoke-Lakeshore to learn more about the project's impact on the neighbourhood.

There's extensive discussion of the Mass Timber construction here, and the general focus on sustainability and affordability. Worthwhile read.

Some updated renders:

The Demolition Permit for this was a supplementary add-on to the EYCC agenda for today's meeting.


It shows as 'adopted' which makes no sense given the recommendation provides 3 different choices for Council to pursue (as per standard).

I don't have time to watch the meeting footage right now, I will leave that to others.

The explanation from the above report is thus:

Just passed by this on Drummond and work seems to be in full swing, forgot to get some photos as some moron was attempting to cut off the dump trucks leaving the site.

Anyways, I love the building but was wondering about the surface lot at the rear.

Parking lot seems to take up about 1/3rd of the site and severely limit what appears to be the potential for a much larger floorplate. Does the fact this is mass timber make below grade parking much more difficult/expensive? Or is this just a result of separation/shadow guidelines regarding the townhouses to the west?
