A welcome addition to a miserable street. Hopefully it will spark more mid rise development in the area.

Oh this looks great. Reminds me of Oben Flats rental on Queen East or Streetcar's Southwood at Kingston and Main. Quality stuff.

Looks like this will be a co-living, rental project:

Completely agree. A walk down the westside Parliament from Dundas to Shuter is to experience a combo of zombie/junkie apocalypse and vandalism, litter and neglect. I don’t think in my nearly 25 years in the area I have once seen a TPS officer walk this stretch of sidewalk. The sooner we can clear most of the entire block from Shuter to Dundas the better.

Really liking this one. Can't lose with dark framed windows with a nice contrasting cladding.
