Upcoming condo development somewhere in the "downtown west".

http://marketvisionrealty.com/landsa...nd_current.php

Link found on Urbanation's twitter feed: https://twitter.com/#!/Urbanation

Quote:
This site is located west of Downtown is over 14,000 sf has two street frontages. Downtown West is the "most active sub-district of Toronto in terms of sales volumes and steadily increasing prices" according to Ben Meyers of Urbanation. The initial architectural concept appeals to the dominant age cohort of the area and is an efficient design while maintaining an appropriate scale. Further fine tuning of the design are occurring for this "A" caliber site.

that would be a nice looking condo if they made that balcony-less part on all 4 sides of the building.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Took the words right out of my mouth.

What happened to the midrise brick/stone buildings? G-d, this better not be a design revision.

This isn't a revision. This is a fresh proposal for another plot of Waterfront land by Foster & Partners. The plan you're thinking about is the land west of this plot. The non-descript white filler buildings in the lower-left side of the rendering shows where the neighbouring development site would be.

This must be what you're thinking of, and it should still be happening if everything goes as planned: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1197807

Thanks!

Old news, but an interesting read from National Post:

Quote:
Toronto will soon play host to some of the planet’s fastest Internet, owing to a rare network planned for developments in the east waterfront.

The “ultra-broadband network” will make new neighbourhoods in the area among the “most connected in the world,” said Waterfront Toronto CEO John Campbell at a Tuesday morning announcement.

To be available in the under-construction communities of East Bayfront and West Donlands, the network will offer residents Internet speeds of up 100 megabits per second — 20 times the Toronto average.

Ripley's releases more details about Toronto Aquarium

Posted by Derek Flack / AUGUST 17, 2011


Quote:
Expected to be finished in 2013, the $130-million attraction will receive funding from all three levels of government, including $11-million from the province of Ontario and between $8- to $12 million from the City of Toronto in the form of property tax incentives over a 12-year period. The Canada Lands company, who owns the land on which the aquarium is being built, will also kick in "more than $10 million to redevelop the John Street corridor that includes new signage and improved access which will increase and enhance the flow of pedestrian traffic from Front Street," according to a press release issued today.
Quote:
Among the aquarium's many features, it'll include a 96-metre-long moving walkway through a see-through tunnel that runs below the so-called shark lagoon, which will be inhabited by sand tiger sharks but no great whites (sorry Jaws fans). Although it won't start out fully stocked, the 5.7 million litre attraction will be able to accommodate 13,500 sea creatures, or about 450 total species. Ripley's also plans to implement breeding and conservation programs for endangered species, which will include a tag and track program for sand tiger sharks.
Quote:
Highlights from today's announcement (from press release)

-The Aquarium will be one of the largest in North America, with a capacity of 5.7-million litres (1.5-million gallons)
-The main exhibition space will include a tropical reef tank, along with Great Lakes exhibits and Atlantic and Pacific habitats
-It will also feature aquatic life-support systems with special recovery basins that reclaim, clean and re-use water;
-Marine and freshwater science education and conservation programs designed to build understanding of the aquatic world
-Trained educators throughout the facility to answer questions and point out special areas of interest
-Aquarium construction is projected to create more than 600 jobs, generating an immediate economic impact of more than $50 million, $35 million of which will be labour income. In addition, during the two-year construction timeline the project is forecasted to generate more than $25 million in taxes for all three levels of government;
-When operational, the Aquarium will generate 300 to 350 jobs and have a projected annual economic impact of more than $35 million on GDP;
-During the first 20 years of operation, the Aquarium is expected to generate more than $220 million in tax revenues for all three levels of government.
-The Aquarium will be open 365-days-a-year, starting in the summer of 2013
