Finally some action! Hopefully we see an above grade permit issued shortly if that passes council, which it should.

If they have gotten all their other ducks in a row in terms of NOAC, Toronto Water sign-off, building permit review and approval, etc., then this should remove the last major barrier (that we are aware of) to get above ground permits. After this is passed the S. 37 has to be amended and re-registered on title which could take weeks to months. Probably it will be August before an above ground permit will be issued, assuming all those other things are in line. Will be nice to see this one finally rise above ground, at very long last.

EDIT: It has to go back to the Tribunal for this requirement to be modified. So this could add months. Not sure. LPAT is a mess right now due to Covid. I'm sorry to harp again but this building on Dundonald could have come down a LONG time ago and the RSC could have been done by now. Add another item to Mizrahi's impressive and self-inflicted death by a thousand cuts.

Benito,
I just want to tell you how much I appreciate that you take the time to take all these photos to share with us. I enjoy them very much, and have also learned a few things along the way. Thanks, bud.

I want to echo this feeling as well. Additionally, once the building gets to a sufficient height you can do a timelapse with the number of pictures you've taken of the same angle!
 
All hail @Benito
Over 100 shots aligned, GIFed, and then excessively compressed down to a size that can be posted on UT, all at great cost to my sanity:

Now that I think about it, it seems that most of the financing would/should be for the land purchase, and going by what I think I know about residential developments, proceeds from sale deposits, and down payments should finance the construction. It does seem interesting.

Typically a loan is provided to acquire the property and cover the soft costs such as planning, engineering, marketing and anything else that happens prior to construction. Once the developer/builder sells enough units to satisfy lenders requirements, they will get a second loan, which would be for construction and pay off the first loan. Deposits from purchasers would be held in trust until construction is done or the condominium is registered. This is a very simple explanation of some of the financing involved. The bigger the project, the more complex the financing could be. For a project like The One, multiple financing sources would have been attained, including from banks and other investors (separate from purchasers).
