I don't think it's weird - it's an RFP - it's legally required.
"Procurement law requires TCHC to ensure equal treatment and fairness for all proponents. This includes ensuring that no proponent gains access to information contained in another proponent's submission, as this could create an unfair advantage during the negotiations stage of the RFP. "

I guess it makes sense - except not sure I understand what advantage it would create ... more likely, I guess, that proponents would lower themselves to the lowest denominator.

Just based on the land breakdown, Block 4-10 look like they're going to be completely sterile no matter who the proponent is. That's just a ridiculous set up.
All of the blocks started out looking very simple initially, and those ones will undoubtedly end up with more variation as they are designed.

After the crime that Daniels committed over on the waterfront, i'm very satisfied they wont be involved in the next phases here.

I had a feeling Tridel would grab the second phase. Hopefully they more so follow what they are doing on the waterfront architecturally, and not their spandrel-filled messes they have otherwise been doing.
It's good news for Kirkor, that is for sure.

The program will be shaped over the next year with regular, frequent and direct input from the community on their priorities.

I hope grey is not the predominate colour of future development here!

I feel Alexandra Park is probably is the model they'll follow, which, personally, I prefer over their waterfront buildings.

From UT's front page story..............
Here: https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2020/12/tridel-wins-bid-build-phases-4-5-regent-park-revitalization
This caught my attention:
The blocks would also feature a combined 37,296 m² of retail space.
That's over 400,000ft2
Equivalent to a mid-sized mall, or about 10 healthy sized supermarkets!

That seems like way too much retail.
