Maybe I'm wrong, but the render shows it to be surrounded by a sea of SFH...
The homes in the area are mostly small bungalows that should be replaced with something better (e.g. larger and higher-quality single-family homes, multiplexes, and condos). A lot are presently being reconstructed as spacious single-family homes or multiplexes, and the area is changing for the better.
However, there are actually an above-average number of older multiplexes in the area, which is quite interesting and makes the area more unique.
This street, which is two blocks over, has a surprising number of what appear to have originally been triplexes.
Here's another interesting local example of a residential side street of SFH and apartments. They even allowed
a substantially sized condo to be built in a low-rise area surrounded by SFH decades ago.
It seems that the former City of York, where this site is located, was more open towards multi-unit homes on residential side streets decades ago than the rest of Metro Toronto (aside from, perhaps, the pre-amalgamation City of Toronto in certain areas). You can find small apartment buildings on residential side streets all around York, except in Baby Point and Cedarvale.
