No reason everything to Duplex couldn't be mid or high-rise.

That's gonna unravel a lot of NIMBYs. It is probably inevitable however.
I wonder how many applications developer friendly Councilor Carmichael-Greb will let through this term.

I hope that the streamline moderne building directly south of the Future Shop from the 1930's is not destroyed.

They are not gonna pay 42 million for property to build a low rise. High rise here is guaranteed.

Meh, that Future Shop has never been great to me. Canada Computers across the street is much more resourceful.

That's the Anne Johnston Health Station a not-for-profit community health centre providing a wide range of programs and services that promote the health and well-being of youth, seniors and people with physical disabilities. It was originally built as Toronto Police Station #12. I am positive the building has a heritage designation.

Let's hope Freed bought it. More aA in this 'hood would be nice. Make it red brick please!

Not Freed, but aA would be nice. Would go well with the Wallman Clewes Bergman across the street.

It is now a presentation centre for Sherwood Park Townhomes http://www.sherwoodparktownhouse.ca/
People in the area are really not happy about the project (surprise, surprise...) There is a website to to stop it and lawn signs can be seen throughout the neighborhood. http://densitycreep.ca/

I honestly wonder what the market will be for this (the site not the presentation center), there are quite a few big stores for lease in this area already, I'm not sure there's huge demand for retail space, not at the level they're talking about (i.e. 5 floors / 50,000).

Demolition of the former Bank of Montreal building now well underway - was driving by, so do not have a photo.
