Well... this is amazing.Toronto's Skyline with Oxford Place embedded into the image. Things are starting to roll out fast, still might be a ten year build out before this project really gets moving. Until then we have these amazing renderings to keep us going.

Global Financial Markets (Factor: Negative)
The global financial markets seems to be on the rebound, from late last year and continuing into the new year, the stock markets of the key global players has been improving in performance. So why is this a negative for Toronto and our economy in general? Well, if you remember the Financial Crisis, after the initial shock of the collapse Toronto actually did quite well, the cause of this was that International Money was looking for a safe place to go and hide, and as far as investors there is no better place to stash your money than Toronto, as it's safe, it's global and has a solid reputation for financial stability. A global Financial rebound is bad for Toronto, as cash now has other places to go to get a good return. The easy ride will be over for us here.
