The proposed development consists of twelve blocks of stacked townhouses with underground parking, a new street network consisting of the extension of a public road (Twelfth Street) and a new private driveway, as well as a new public park. The redevelopment proposes a total of 226 stacked townhouse units arranged in twelve blocks, which frame the public and private street network, as well as the outdoor amenity area, with good proportion. The proposed outdoor amenity area, approximately 835 square metres in size, is central to the subject site, and will be located between blocks 7 to 12. The blocks fronting on Birmingham Street (blocks 6, 7 and 12) are setback 2.3 metres from the northerly property line. These units will have direct access to the public sidewalk and will create an animated and lively streetscape along this portion of Birmingham Street.

Generally i'm not a fan of stacked townhouses but in this case, the more diverse the income groups in this neighborhood the better so i'm for it.
 
I'll be interested to see how this development ties into the area, and how the 12th Street Extension flows.

On a side note, look how empty that beautiful, vast waste of a space parking lot is that Humber College developped. Meanwhile Lake Shore is still filled with their students cars and they (the college) continues to cheap out on providing underground parking in their new builds.
