What? Who changed my title, lol?

It's AURA, not AURORA. Please change it back.

Here's the parking lot it will be replacing courtesty "photopia" on flickr. You can see the "Prime Retail Space for Lease sign". This is just a few hundred feet north of the still-new Toronto Life Square (360,000 square feet of retail in a 500,000 square foot building).

kiwi4life Jun 13, 2009 10:50 PM

so when might this start construction, whats an estimated time? bc i definately hope this one gets underway!

The building has sold well from what we have heard, but given the economy the way it is, financing is still going to be difficult. There are reports it will begin soon, but most times these dates keep getting pushed back. We'll see what happens come August.

Is this still coming along? Haven't heard anything about this is ages.

CHAPINM1 Jan 12, 2010 2:00 AM

On SSC, it appears that there is equipment on site!

JustinL Jan 12, 2010 5:20 AM

Nice! Well...this, along with the "L" if it is indeed moving forward, will help sustain Toronto's massive skyscraper/density buildup that we've been seeing the past decade or so...even after Ritz, Trump , Four Seasons etc. are complete :)

Not only that, but this needs to be moved to "Construction". Lots of activity. From yesterday: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ethervizion/4266937415/
