Giraffe development dismissed by Ontario Municipal Board

This development at Bloor St west and Dundas St. West has been rejected by the OMB with the cities will. In this post are image grabs from the decision that provide a good overview of the respective positions of both sides which also give a good idea of how developers view such issues.

They also give some insight into the Crossways development

Bloor & Dundas condo demo start? or just sales signs

HP Bloor Street Limited proposes to develop a 12 floor - 108 unit residential block with commercial stuff on the ground floor of the assembled lots at 1540 Bloor St. West. The scaffolding covered in green netting could indicate they have started their demo. Yet at the same time they are wrapping the building in great big sales banners .This photo from a quick fly by to check what was happening with the buildings. Hopefully we can find some workers at the site soon for more details.
