Fall 2010 can't come anysooner !

Xesus, this is taking long. I just thought about this the other day, thinking it should start any day now. It's been in sales, since '08 or something like that, no?

 

[arvelomcquaig]

Yes, seriously. What has taken this so long? I work right next to this, and each time I go to work I am confronted with this hellish parking lot instead of any sign of progress.

 

[College Park]

I'm impressed that U made it through the storm. Good girl.

Here are the plots where U Condo will be.

That is one canyon. I really hope Pemberton keeps those trees along Bay street. They are quite needed. The puny ones south of Wellesley need some major help. I'm guessing there's simply no soil underneath to maintain any growth?

 

[neuhaus]

how are the sales going here?
I expect to see some sit work starting by now.

 

[steveve]

most of the trees along Bay Street SHOULD stay.. hopefully

Indeed, the Bay Street canyon is the best of the best... But only 1 of the towers will "really" contribute to the streetwall due to their positioning (diagonally from each other).

Sutton Place is one of those towers that really holds the streetwall in place, its simple but awesome how it contributes to Bay Street

I'm loving this street, the mix of old and new...such density. I don't think there's a street like it in the city. Hopefully we can start seeing some nice retail along Bay. I figured those 2 units for lease at Murano would have been snatched up by now. Can't wait for Burano and U

 

[UrbanFervour]

Yes but isn't the plan to have TOWNHOUSES fronting on to Bay? I seriously hope that idea has been rethought.

Workers were cutting down all the trees on the U Condo site today. First sign of progress.
