The render above appears to hint that the presumed prefab for the Studio Gang side might be board formed. That would be really smexy if that's the case....
 
This looks amazing! I love the proposed rooftop garden & seating area. Keeping my fingers crossed this one turns out well. 🤞

This is one of eight sites under the City of Toronto's ModernTO initiative.

The Star reporting that a confidential report shows that this project as currently structured is no longer viable.

It recommends cutting the affordable housing by a further 24 units to 221 units here from the originally promised 290 (cuts were made earlier to deliver more family-sized units), additionally the report recommends and interest-free loan to the builder that is ultimately forgivable in the amount of 36.8M.

Should this be approved, the target is to break ground in December of this year.
