Naming a condo after a high school? Huh...

Not just any school.... It is THE school for high society and their highly entitled spawn

You sound resentful.

Well Upper Canada of course is the original name for Ontario, so it'll appeal to both the old boys club and the old timers club.

At the very bottom of this doc for the Committee of Adjustment meeting tomorrow:

609 Avenue Road: To alter the redevelopment plan for a 16-storey apartment building with 54 residential dwelling units, approved under Site Specific By-laws 1428-2007, by increasing the building projections, height and setbacks, as well as the residential gross floor area and number of dwelling units.

Going from 54 units to 166 units.

Going from 57.5m (16s) to 68m (19s).

So the large suites are would become more typically sized smaller suites. The market for large, expensive luxury suites in this city is simply over-saturated.
