Good pocket for infill development. 16 storeys is significantly taller compared to surrounding sites on the Merton facing side of the block, I wouldn't be surprised to see it cut down.

Good too that it is apartment rental.

It's busy, but there's something about it I like. Just can't put my finger on it...

Those are some big-units (only 71 units), and more parking per unit than you would expect (91 parking-spaces). This is going to be a very expensive building to buy into.

South side will have solid, unobstructed views.

This only works if they actually use curtain wall on the upper portion. But what are the chances of that happening in Toronto?
