This sort of thing tends to happen when the infinite free money tap is turned off.

The latter is a level of /fail and any reasoned person who had any inclination of this should not be surprised to have seen this coming in the least, IMO. But hey, grifters gonna grift! /bleh

Sheesh, they actually had to involve researchers to realize that NFT's are worthless...

So they can build it as is now?
Not yet. This is at the beginning of the appeals process and a Case Management Conference (CMC) has not been scheduled yet. Once they go through multiple CMCs, then a merit hearing or settlement will occur. That is likely 18-30 months away. Once the zoning is finalized, they will need to go through the SPA process and then the permits process and then they can build it. That is, if they want to build it. They can also sell it at any point in that process.

An Appeals Report is headed to the next meeting of TEYCC, belatedly seeking support for legal staff to opposed this at OLT (first CMC already held in July)
Mediation is either underway or set to be shortly.
Next CMC is scheduled for November 8th, 2024, no Merit Hearing has yet been calendared.

I always chuckle when I see this proposal by OMA because I was around when Rem Koolhaus said that he would never work in Toronto again after the Downsview competion.

Koolhaus is way out of the picture now. Jason Long runs most of the projects in North America, and this being a condo project I imagine there are not any senior partners involved at all. This is revenue generating filler for the firm as were their recent condos in Miami.

True, but Park Grove =/= The Perigon. These two things are not created equal.

I would surmise from this report to the next meeting of Preservation Board that we have a Settlement here.

I have never been more confused by renderings.
Took a lot of Google Street view gymnastics for me to figure out what went on here...
Seriously impressive incorporation/manipulation of the heritage buildings on site, only one demolition of the least interesting heritage building.
I don't think they have created the pedestrian laneway in the right spot though, it should be located mid-block (more west) adjacent to 82 Lombard; this would require purchasing the parking lot at 219 Richmond East as well.
Do we even need a midblock connection? You can already cut through Muriel Collins Co-operative or Central Fire Station Lane.

There is indeed a Settlement Offer here on next week's Council agenda. The details remain confidential at this time.
