1 week ago Outrageously colourful cluster of towers will be unlike anything else in Toronto

Ambitious plans surfaced in April for a proposal to redevelop a tract of City of Toronto-owned lands at a major transit hub with a multi-tower residential community that would look like nothing else in town.The sprawling site at 2444 Eglinton Avenue East, a commuter parking lot just north of Kennedy GO and TTC station and adjacent auto body shop, is set to be redeveloped with three new residential towers.But unlike the monotonous blue-grey glass Toronto residents are used to, these towers would feature wildly colourful designs from Vancouver-based Henriquez Partners Architects.The City's real estate asset management agency, CreateTO, has long planned to leverage this and other sites adjacent to transit, launching the Housing Now initiative in 2019 to activate underutilized City lands and work with private developers to get affordable housing built.CreateTO announced in January 2024 that Civic Developments, Windmill Developments, and the Co-operative Housing Federation of Toronto...

1 week ago Ontario transplant shares the hate they get just for simply existing in Alberta

A recent transplant from Ontario to Calgary was met with a harsh message in a grocery store parking lot.In a photo shared to Reddit, the user explained that they had just moved from Ontario and hadn't yet changed their licence plates. While shopping at Walmart, they returned to their vehicle to find a note tucked under the windshield wipers."My stomach dropped thinking someone hit my car and left their contact information," they wrote.Instead, the note read: "Dam Easterners coming to Alberta to be safe. Gutless cowards."It's not entirely clear what the author of the message meant by "safe in Alberta." Perhaps they were briefly possessed by the ghost of Ralph Klein, given the tone toward eastern Canadians.From Ontario first grocery experience someone left a note on my car.byu/woundedrhyme1 inCalgaryCalgary commenters were quick to call out the note-leaver, many pointing out the irony of an anonymous note accusing someone else of being c...

2 w. ago Toronto shopping plaza to be completely demolished for 5 futuristic towers

A Toronto shopping plaza built not even ten years ago is already on the chopping block and could soon be torn down for a massive five-tower development.What was once a surface parking lot serving the TTC's Wilson Station was redeveloped into a series of retail buildings back in 2017, acting as an extension of the large big-box retail centre that exists to the south and west.The former lot at 75 Billy Bishop Way was developed by Build Toronto and opened as the "Shops at Wilson Station" following a brief construction period. However, just steps from a subway station and in close proximity to Highway 401, the retail development's days were always numbered.With Downsview Airport now closed and former height caps developments constructed on surrounding blocks eliminated, the site immediately south of the former airport's runway has been unlocked for much higher densities than what exist today.A recent application tabled with the City of Toronto outlines pl...
