We keep hearing about condo developers buying up all the downtown building sites, but don't overlook rapidly growing Ryerson University. Last week it paid the Ontario Ministry of Infrastructure $32.1M for two sites on Dundas East. RealNet research guru Richard Vilnerlooked back a decade for us and found the school had completed 10 real estate acquisitions worth $100M since 2004. Key to the latest deal is 1.4 acres on the northwest corner of Jarvis and Dundas, which Ryerson's Michael Forbes expects will eventually house a new faculty of science. Highest profile among Ryerson's RE moves has been a stake alongside Loblaws in Maple Leaf Gardens and the under-construction Student Learning Centre on Yonge Street. The school is also working with MPI Group on new Jarvis Street residence.
