Freedville is the new Yorkville
this area of the city is becoming my favourite. I'd like to see what freed can do with red brick instead of minimalistic white + glass. There's still many parking lots (and a few ugly office buildings to implode) to fill but within 5-10 years, I believe the area will become the new "yorkville." Everyone on Stewart St seems to drive either a Mini Cooper, Audi A4 or BMW--kind of disgusting in a way but it will be interesting to see if the city will allow Portland St (i'm thinking of those rundown old houses) to become the new John St---ie little cafes in those houses; plus some retail on Bathurst St etc. Overall, if i don't buy a house in Dovercourt Village (cheap and rundown i love it!) i may just join the spoilt kids and buy from the monopolistic freed.
Are there any city planning doc's showing renderings about this 650 king st w proposal?
