Wouldn't be surprised if North Drive go with Wengle again here, considering the ongoing collaboration among their recent projects.

Would fit in w/the proposal to the north that the neighbours are fighting tooth and nail; follows logically they should go w/a similar design for the carbon-copy fight headed to OLT.

Sigh........that there might be a defender of the status quo here..............or someone earnestly asking why it can't be torn down for townhomes....... LOL

Finally - can't wait for this suburban plaza to go.

Pretty good Starbucks though...

Still can't believe someone built a mini strip-mall at Rosedale Station... man, the 70's were wild

And with ho hum retail chains (Pizza Hut, Starbucks) to boot. You'd think they'd at least put a nice coffee shop in there.

The 70s were more relaxed they were still developing single family homes in some parts of Etobicoke, Scarborough and North York. Crazy condo building mode didn’t exist because of saving the precious farm land etc from climate change 40 to 50 years ago lol .

It's funny, I'm by here a lot (chiropractor is across the street, and Ramsden Park has the closest tennis courts to me and an awesome children's playground) and am not sure I've ever seen the patio anything other than almost full.

Good spot to scope out who's who in the zoo?

Walk by here often, that Starbucks is Ground Zero for Rosedale yoga mums and $3000 prams. This will be fought...hard.

Interesting the mention of Reflect Architecture — they’ve done some nice SFH and small-scale retail; interested to see if this is their chance to step up in scale.
