More than density alone, I'm excited for the potential of a downtown university campus. That kind of talent and learning right downtown is what gives Ryerson and UofT it's ability to transition people into talent related jobs. With McMaster expanding so quickly, they may reach a comparable size to Ryerson, with a significantly larger research wing. McMaster has around 32,000 students, while Ryerson has 45,000.
Add to this, middle income, talented and intelligent people living and schooling downtown, they will need shopping, restaurants and bars to keep themselves entertained and these graduate buildings are situated right where things are happening.
