We have broken ground on 72 Perth! 255 rental units coming in phase 6 of 9 of Castlepoint Numa’s Lower Junction masterplan.
Very proud of the whole team for their efforts in getting here! Excited to announce new partnerships with the City of Toronto, Hazelview and WoodGreen.
Every detail of this building has been carefully considered. We made a deliberate decision to focus on larger, more livable homes, removing studio units entirely and paying close attention to kitchens, bathrooms, storage, suite layouts, and the day-to-day experience of residents.
For the interiors, we challenged our designers to take a strong point of view — moving away from a more minimal rental aesthetic and toward something warmer, richer, and more textured
The result is a project we believe will stand out in Toronto.
Excited to share what the team has been working at 115 Saulter in the Port Lands

Consistently, one of my first pieces of feedback I give to seed founders after we invest
Is that they are under-budgeting/prioritizing the quality of their office
You need to be building a cult and a culture; that's hard to do under fluorescent lights without some sunshine
Mandatory crash course to economics and financial analysis for people regulating housing

Big fan of the work being done by @MYoungTO to help raise awareness
Housing is an over regulated industry, development charges are up 1000% over the last 15 years.
The new home industry has a marketing problem says @jeffbrenner of @CastlepointNuma - people don't know that we have a substantial cost problem.

Are you wondering why housing is so damn expensive? Thank your government for that. We decided what better way to highlight the absurdity than to create a board game.
If you think 30% taxes on homes is wrong, visit cantwin.ca and tell policymakers how you feel.
Amazing plan circa 1912 for the Toronto Islands and Port Lands. Showing a fixed park connecting to and across the islands. Designed by Olmsted (Central Park) #TOtheWaterfront

New housing should be priced to customers net of taxes and other government fees. Meaning, purchasers should have full transparency in terms of where their money is going. The challenge…

A generation ago, none of these taxes existed: no GST, no Land Transfer Tax, no Development Charges. The cost of owning a home has soared, and governments at all three levels have been a BIG part of that.
Think of this from an intergenerational perspective. Young people today cannot afford homes. This is impacting major life decisions, including starting a family.
There is lots for governments to fix to get more people into homes. The tax grab is a good place to start.

Two public plazas in the middle of our downtown that have seating and tables. Two blocks apart.
One is always full, and one is usually completely empty during the day.
Can you spot the reason?

No formal app yet, but another project coming to the rapidly densifying Weston @UPexpress Station on the @GOtransitKT corridor.
This time, it's 45 storeys, 562 units & 4500 sf of retail at 1830-1844 Weston Road from @CastlepointNuma, KIN Capital and @studiojci. Looks great!

Lisbon’s cafe kiosks are so wonderful. They anchor public life, place-make, and help to brand the city. If I were running for mayor of Toronto (which I’m not), I’d propose the following 👇 #TOpoli

This is terrifying to watch. Incredible colorised footage of workers constructing the Chrysler Building - filmed 92 years ago! #construction #loveconstruction #engineering #architecture xitter.gq/JoaquimCampa/status/12…
