A curious lil' app for a new, 7s residential build at the angled intersection of Kingston Road and Lawrence.

Ground Floor Plan.......... 1 residential unit at-grade. (dunno about that)

@ProjectEnd might be amused by the level of detail shown on the unit layout plans:

Project Stats:

Elevator ratio 3.84 elevators per 100 units; ( 3 elevators, 78 units)

Parking ratio .82

Comments: Height should be an easy sell. Elevator ratio is the highest in recent memory, Parking ratio is very high, while one might expect higher in a very suburban area, this really seems too high to me.
One residential unit at-grade seems poorly thought out to me, better to re-gig the main level for 2 retail units.

What a baffling design and complete waste of a flatiron site, as has been noted. The seating area doesn't seem well thought out either; that would be a very unpleasant place to linger, surrounded by a concrete hellscape and 6 lanes of traffic on every side.

A spot for all the homeless that frequent the intersection to lounge/live

Lets acknowledge, up front, the problems w/this proposal.

That said, the homeless do indeed need somewhere to live, and I'm thinking it should be a home.

If people are choosing to sit/lie beside that intersection, society has a great deal to answer for (which lets be honest, it does)

Sorry guys wasn’t trying to start anything. I frequent this area daily and see all the homeless people begging in the streets, that’s what my comment was in regards too, nothing more
 
Well, it's great that it is right across from the most crime-ridden drug dealer drug-dealer-infested social housing buildings in all of the GTHA (4175 Lawrence Ave East). I wonder if that can be worked into the marketing somehow......... There will be a lot of opportunities to watch crack heads wander naked and panhandle on the median and at Krispy Kreme, never mind the drunks infesting the entire area. 4175 Lawrene gets about 5 fire alarms a day and two or three deliberate activations to let the rug dealers know a shipment is arriving.. As for safety in the neighbourhood. I don't go out after 5 pm. I've been followed to the bank on numerous occasions. There is a flood of fake %20 and $5 bills flowing around the neighbourhood right now as well. Now I do everything electronically. There are 20 social housing buildings in the immediate area, meaning a flood of drug addicts and hookers. McDonald's is not safe to go to. They had a shooting earlier this year. People with cars are going to have fun. That intersection has a higher-than-normal number of accidents and pedestrian deaths annually. I saw two cars go through the red nose ot tail this morning. A lot of classic cars i the area to watch. I saw a Mach 1 from the 1960s pass by last week. The beer store is closing, and the entire morning side plaza is being turned into 10 buildings. The No Frills is rumoured ot to not have its lease renewed at the end of the business year. If that happens, the whole plaza will be sold for condo buildings. Enjoy going ot Cederbrae for everything or up to military trail or Eglington. There used to be a gas station on that property, and the soil is also heavily contaminated. The heavy traffic flow through that intersection means constant noise all hours of the day and night, as well a police and fire going through there 10 - 20 times a day.
