Jeez and I thought it was just because a columnist gave a couple of city planners some credit 🤷♂️
Cities connect people - and offices are among the places where that happens. Toronto’s downtown occupancy continues its steady recovery per SRRA Research
For clarity, multiplex housing containing up to 4 units (+1 garden / laneway suite), within prescribed height limits (which mostly permit 3 storeys but in places 4), form based (not limited by FSI), with no min parking requirement has been permitted in Toronto since May 2023

As Toronto considers different ways to transition between building scales to optimize housing, interesting to recall how built form is shaped by regulation in Tokyo

62% RTO in early 2024 up from 52% six months ago in Toronto’s office core - will 70% be achieved by the summer?

Tunneling on the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension is one big step closer to being finished! 🚊 Rexy, one of our twin tunnel boring machines, has broken through at the extraction shaft. The extension will bring 37,000+ more people within walking distance of rapid transit.
#cdnpoli As always, twisting the facts. City planning ("gatekeepers") didn't object to this infill project; it was blocked by the Committee of Adjustment and neighbourhood opposition.
The Liberals sent $471 Million to Toronto gatekeepers - and they still block housing. Paying for promises is not going to work. Conservatives will get more homes built by rewarding real results. #cdnpoli
The only home we have! #EarthDay

It takes more than 11 months to complete a brand new home. In reality, what @fordnation neglected to mention is that monthly permit applications for multiplexes TRIPLED within five months of legalizing them as-of-right. Per @GreggLintern:
Today we broke ground on the new Etobicoke Civic Centre! Once complete, the new ECC will be a state-of-the-art community hub in Etobicoke with municipal offices, a child care centre, a new library branch, a public health clinic, a recreation centre, an art gallery, + more.
Earlier today, @PaulCalandra introduced a new housing bill. I'm pleased it will bring many of the common-sense changes already implemented in Toronto, across the province. For example, we removed parking minimums in 2021 and changed zoning so multiplexes can actually be built.
Ground-breaking event today for the new Etobicoke Civic Centre. Details on the project can be found here: toronto.ca/services-payme…
Been reading through the Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, 2024 summaries for a few hours. OK time for a thread. I give it an overall YIMBY Score of 3.5/5. Some good stuff, some bad stuff, some we shall see stuff. As always, thank you sources.
The @cityoftoronto’s new Etobicoke Civic Centre, which broke ground today, will be a dynamic civic hub and the foundation for the creation of a complete community on the City-owned lands at Bloor-Kipling. Here’s a look at a few renderings.
