Not the best phone camera but one of my favourite angles from the top of Dunton

Docs are up for the 4 story infill at 133 Forward:

Two more renderings from the Turn/Arcadis linkedin post.

Seems easy enough for the city to just spend the extra million on the bridge given the massive amount of development proposed on both side of the tracks. On the other hand it really seems unlikely that the million will make or break the viability of the project especially given interREIT's...

First show announcements. Going off their show in Toronto the night before Dan Bejar from Destroyer should be opening the Wolf Parade show so will be going even with the live nation tax. Lineup is a little MOR rock hopefully they have some more interesting announcements in subsequent waves.

Given the project has been on file for the better part of a decade and has only just switched height and design they have a pretty solid case, especially with the standard bread building rehab. Still think this starts later this year, CLV is flush with cash after the buyout and needs to do...

Sutcliffe had less to do with the cost increase than COVIDflation and progressive champion Councillor Menard fighting to reduce the air rights. He can take the blame for not stepping in for a re-think but given the state of council and civic discourse at large I think even many of his...

It's easy to play critic on landsdowne but the political viability of a fully city paid redevelopment that didn't include the cfl and 67s is unlikely to be a successful enterprise. I would personally love it if it was all park but I still go to events and the cineplex, non chain/suburban...
