I thought/hoped he was just being ironic with his yawn. If you proposed that development near any Danforth subway station the residents - living along a subway line with a-few-minutes-access to downtown Toronto - would lose their minds.
That Vaughan is doing it on the site of an ugly-ass concrete plant, in an area with literally zero residents is obviously impressive. We could quibble about the design, once it's revealed, but this thread is always amusing for people insisting that the "subway to nowhere" won't work in terms of generating density etc. That single project is an impressive scale and, like Expo, it's on the fringe of VMC. It gives you a sense of what you're likely to see in the core, once things get going.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the concrete plant is actually across the street (ie, east of Maplecrete drive). The site in question is actually a single story building.
