There is another tower planned at Madison and Bloor. Valuable real estate.

Anyone visiting the new Estonian building will be fighting for the few parking spots in the area with the 366 unit dwellers not using their meager 61 parking spots.

The added congestion on Madison is a new wrinkle.

Wasn't there going to be another tall building going up next to this new structure on the corner of Madison and Bloor?

Too true.
If you read into the article, one of the drawings indicates a high-rise building on the corner.
Wonder where it's driveway entrance will be?

Very interesting, thanks for the share.

They must not be aware of the few parking spots and how there will be car lineups along Madison of people dropping off people for events.

I guess you will need to "educate" a 97-year-old organization with your superior insights?

I don't think so!

The Annex Residents' Association has been serving the people of the Annex since 1925

Annex residents be forewarned31 Jan 2022 06:08
The Annex Residents' Assoc will believe whatever Project Lead Ellen V
decides to tell them, that is until the Keskus is built and the area
becomes a traffic nightmare for residents.

There isn't a big city anywhere that has enough parking to make anyone happy.
Fortunately, the Estonian development is a two-minute walk from a subway station.
That makes life easier, even for people who live afar. They can park at the city limit and get on a train to avoid Toronto's impossibly congested traffic.

Why build in the most inaccessible, congested,
expensive, restrictive and vibrating corridor?
For who? Adults only, obviously a vanity bragging point.

It is the vanity of a small group of fringe extremists who have tried to sabotage the KESKUS project with misinformation campaigns that we need to worry about. They truly frighten people with their incoherent conspiracy-laden accusations.

Well, there are interesting questions here: -- first off wtf: did we settle for three stories when everything nearby is going 30 plus?(Old church 29 stories; old scout guide building, 29 stories, old BNS 37 stories, 711 - 39 stories...) Yes, the Annex NIMBY Ass'n objected and the local city councillor was "all in" when "our side" folded up their tents at three stories, but did that get us anything? Like a break on permits (hahaha)? Other than possibly an uneconomic charity case that is going to be begging for funding in perpetuity and aggressively renting out for every passing convention or conference - Even 2 or 3 floors of rentable no-parking commercial space would have endowed the facility with a continuing basic income stream other than a single tenant that has demonstrated itself to be a flighty and capricious "partner" ....
