1901 College | 16m | 5s | Truman

[MichaelS]

Not to be outdone by Minto today, Truman is now previewing yet another project for the inner-city on their website (is the Ontario investment demand really that strong?...). Not a ton of details yet, says it is going in at 19th Avenue and 5th Street SW, and based on the name assume it is at the parcels addressed as 1901 - 1913 5th Street SW. The project can be seen on the bottom of Truman's "Coming Soon" portion of their website, here:

Looks good, and given Truman's record would probably turn out like the rendering.

Nice project in a nice location. Hope it comes sooner rather than later

(is the Ontario investment demand really that strong?...)

Toronto very recently imposed a 46% increase in Development Charges for residential, putting (an estimated) 10,000 units on hold. These developments were obviously started before that passed council, but we might see even more.

From:

Toronto city council hikes development charges, adding tens of thousands to cost of new housing units

As Toronto faces a housing affordability crisis, city council votes to raise development charges for residential buildings by 46 per cent

www.theglobeandmail.com

City council voted on Tuesday to raise development charges (DCs) for residential buildings by 46 per cent...

And the reasoning:

Development charges would be waived on the second, third and fourth residential units on a single property, provided there are no more than four units, in an attempt to encourage small-scale density.

This will be a great addition to 5th Street. Next addition should be a bike lane between 17th and Elbow Drive.

This will be a great addition to 5th Street. Next addition should be a bike lane between 17th and Elbow Drive.

That would be so easy to implement and very useful. I guess the hold up would be potential lost street parking

The land use goes to CPC this week.
Report, Background, ARP Amendments, Applicant Submission, CA Letter

This and the fact Fishman was approved these couple blocks could really change quite quickly.

I hope so too. I live within a block of both of these developments and I can't wait for them to transform the area. You should hear the nimbyism from all my neighbours in regards to these projects though

As someone who works in the design industry, has previously worked in the construction industry, and volunteers on a municipal LAP... NIMBYers are literally the bane of my existence. There are so, so many angry, anti-change, armchair architects and builders in this city you could build thirteen Burj Dubai's out of their bones and souls and glaze them with their anger and still have enough of them left to build a thirteen-lane hyperloop around the Earth (and they'd still find a way to bitch about them to the City, the media and everyone else, even in the afterlife). NIMBYers really are the real Karens of the built world.

Construction fencing went up around this one today, demo is likely imminent
