why didn't that former pizza pizza and swiss sell.. would have been much better taking up the entire block.

This turned out well. If this is what is in store for the rest of Eglinton, I'm looking forward to it.
Generally, I'm hoping to not have block-long buildings along our avenues. Breaking up most blocks into multiple buildings will make for a more varied streetscape, and likely a more finely grained sidewalk experience.
That said, we cannot yet know how the ground floor has been executed here, but from the second floor up, The Hill looks good. I want to see more mid-rises of this quality in Toronto!

I would have been happy with two seperate buildings but the hill takes up 90% of the space. At this point they might as well taken all 100%. Swiss isn't adding anything the block

But such is the beauty of incremental urbanism. A cozy little midrise will look great there someday. One must be patient with these things.

Hoarding is down. Looking good!
Though I don't envy the person who will live just a couple feet away from this utility poll.

Are the utilities not going underground with the construction of the Crosstown?

Why aren't we transitioning new builds to underground utilities whenever possible?

I believe they are to be buried as a part of Eglinton Connects.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Duke Condos called and wants its awful grade treatment back.
