Conspiracy theories aside, the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Yes, lets talk about facts. What other building in Toronto has this happened to? It's not a good sign and UT members are right to bring up Mizrahi's questionable past actions. Reputation is everything, right?

Past actions are always viewed with hindsight.

Talon getting themselves tied up with Trump didn't seem as bad then as it might now that a more public light has been shed on DT and his terrible business practices.

What I think is more likely is the speed at which Mizrahi is trying to operate is beyond that of the bureaucracy required in a building this size—that he's following Facebook's "move fast and break things" mantra, and it's working about as well as one might expect.

Every great city has "dirty" builds. Now we can celebrate (maybe) new height, much-blessed international architects and on-going debates about its development legacy.

Cynical but I still hope this gets built. I do donate to worthy charities.

I thought Facebook's mantra was "Move like a sloth, and break everything".

Go back a couple of pages, there is a stop work order

 

[Strange Advance]

Is obtaining the permit going to be a protracted process?

This afternoon I emailed the contact name at City Hall concerning the Stop Work Order asking what's going on. I'll post the reply if and when I get it.

I cannot recall if this was already posted but it was dated Dec 12/19. Sorry in advance if it was already posted in this thread.

Sam Mizrachi will be on BNN in 50 minutes. Will be interesting to see what he says regarding this project.

He didn't say a word on the stoppage.

He didn't say a word on the stoppage.

of course he did not, what did you expect? why would anyone self inflict negative press??

 

[got it right]

Now wouldn't you love to have seen that interview done by me.......LOL....Mizrahi would be running back into the dry cleaning business...?

He probably arranged for the interviewer not to tread on that topic.
