I sent an email to the city below is the response.......
Good morning,
The new zoning to permit this development was first approved by City Council in 2018 and further revised in 2021. While that zoning is now in full force and effect, I appreciate this development doesn’t appear to have progressed much over the past year, particularly to potential purchasers (since I’ve been receiving so many similar enquiries lately). I can’t speak to the developer’s own business plans currently for getting any ‘shovels in the ground’ for this project, but I can advise that over the past year they’ve been revising their design plans for the two smaller buildings on the interior of the site. I know the applicant as recently as the end of January was pursuing an updated zoning review of those recent design changes from Toronto Building Zoning staff, who apparently are now waiting for some further revised submissions from the developer before concluding that review. That review will then assist the applicant in providing one further (hopefully final) site plan resubmission for final review by City Planning in consultation with other departments. If no further issues are flagged with that resubmission, City Planning will then be in a position to advance our Site Plan Control approval (through what’s called a Notice of Approval Conditions) for the development. The NOAC is one final step before building permits can be issued. Since so much depends on timely action by the developer I can’t really give you any specific time estimates for NOAC issuance, but as far as City Planning is concerned this proposal is certainly still very much ‘active’. If all goes well from here on, my best-guesstimate is building permits
could potentially start to be issued by late-spring/early-summer
at the earliest.
I trust this much was helpful. Cheers!
