Toronto Lawrence Heights Revitalization | ?m | ?s | Context Development | KPMB

A little piece of information about revitalization projects like this - it takes roughly 10 market units to cover one subsidized unit (according to an architect associated with this project). Even if they doubled the density of this plan, it would still lose money.

And this is what worries me about these "revitalization" ventures - it's a one trick pony. You won't be able to add anywhere near another 12,000 market units to replace the planned 1200 units when they need replacing in 30-40 years. Maintenance will be crucial for this neighbourhood to succeed, and I don't have high hopes in the TCHC and government to do so.

It looks as though they're holding space for an extension of Mikado Avenue south of Ranee - is that planned?
 
The built form is straight out of a greenfield subdivision in Newmarket. Weirdly low density and not so much as a corner store.

Except there is retail for a corner store in the condo next to Yorkdale Station.. and this:
