Not sure, but Context was also chosen to manage the TCHC component of the Lawrence Heights redevelopment and the design consortium for that project was Tact Design / KPMB Architects / IBI Group / MBTW. They actually hosted a tour of that development for tenants of Don Summerville last year. If someone claimed that TACT was involved, I'd believe it based on the renderings, but aside from that, I'm not sure if this is relevant.

What a fascinating ownership structure being proposed here. Really curious how that shakes down at the end, re: property management.

The sooner they knock down that blighted pair, the better.

I agree. This stretch of Queen E. will be so much better served with more retail, more densification, and more mixed (income) housing. There are great parks, transit, restaurants, retail, proximity to downtown, quick highway acces,and the lake close by!

Slowly we will reclaim the city from the follies of modernist planning.

Likely to step into fresh follies further down the road... but modern ones!
Seems to me that planning is never terribly easy, and the road to hell is paved with good intentions. But still, onward, forward! Those two apartment blocks will not be missed.

There are hundreds of great mid century apartments in Toronto but these ain’t it. Will be happy to see this stretch be animated vs fenced off
Just adding an urban frontage along Queen would be a great start.
