I hope this project will be a catalyst to gradually initiate further intensification of the shopping plaza, garden centre, and insignificant lowrise type properties around the Gerrard to Danforth & Vic Park area. Despite being in close distance to the subway station, it's been floating under the radar for a while.

@interchange42 Not sure if you wanted to divide this site by blocks, but just in case......
It's tough to until we start getting individual addresses, and the individual projects get marketing pages, and the site can be accessed by photographers in a way to separate the buildings photos… or at least one conditions! We can always chop up the thread when the time comes.

You can see they have largely formed the basis for the new public road (an extension of Musgrave on the west side of Victoria Park, that currently is opposite the driveway at the northern limit
of the plaza w/the Freshco.)

The road will now divert onto this property immediately after the intersection, the plaza will be accessed via the new road.
