This will probably be my last Gardiner East post before the decision goes to City Council next week on June 10th. But I have such good news that I need to share it with you all.

This morning 14 “CityBuilders” came together for the first time in support of removing the elevated Gardiner East and replacing it with a surface boulevard. They are real estate developers, investors, and other prominent business leaders in the city. And they sent a letter this morning to every single Toronto City Councillor outlining their position. 

I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to see this happen, so I’d like to call out each and every member of the CityBuilders. They are (in alphabetical order):

1. Castlepoint Numa
   

2. Cityzen Development Corporation
   

3. Context Development
   

4. Continental Ventures
   

5. Daniels Corporation
   

6. Distillery Historical District
   

7. Dream Unlimited Corporation
   

8. Greybrook Capital and Greybrook Realty Partners
   

9. Kerbel Group Inc.
   

10. Manulife Real Estate
    

11. QQE 162
    

12. Streetcar Developments
    

13. TAS
    

14. Tridel Group of Corporations

These are some of Toronto’s most important city builders and I am sure this will get the attention of both Mayor John Tory and the rest of City Council.

Happy Friday :)
