Erroneously assuming that the so-called 30 companies (nice round number, that) even propose to play the Alphabet game of hoovering up private data - which I rather doubt anyway. I think it far more likely that regular developers will be involved. You know, not tech giants looking to make a play.

"Waterfront Toronto opened the project for bids in March, 2017. "

A year head start....
 
I have a feeling this project will come back in some other form after this pandemic is gone ! I was pretty unique looking and something different for the waterfront In my opinion !

Wait no longer, new version is in the works:


New Partner to be picked by summer 2021

New focus, Affordable Housing/Long Term Care

Still open to innovation, but not data-driven.

All Timber buildings idea is out.

But open to 1 Timber building
 
Looks like it’s going to be completely uninspired. WT never did dream big, so I’m unsurprised, but disappointed.
 
So more lackluster, uninspired, development. Par for the course I guess.

Where's this doom and gloom from?

Outside of the Innovation Ctr, WT has a pretty good track record.

We've got a really interesting all-timber building on the way.

Love Park

The wave decks

Rees Park is incoming

So are some really interesting foot bridges.

Plus a very interesting new Ferry Terminal.

And as @smably notes above, a huge new River Mouth with vast parks and a destination playground.

This City has its moments of complacency and under-achievement. But WT's record does not sit among those.
