^^^A pretty awful collection of buildings, if you ask me. Old and new.

Renderings notwithstanding, I wouldn't have expected it from a student residence in the first place.

Jarvis St is still fugly as far as I'm concerned. I would never want to go on a leisurely stroll down this street.

I did recently and it was a jarring experience. So sad to think what a glorious avenue it could be with minimal investment, yet the city couldn't care less.

The city could spend a small fortune on the public avenue and it wouldn't do much. Too many buildings turn their back on Jarvis. There's some odd townhouse infill as well. It has a forgotten luxurious past. That's it.

It could be fixed up to an extent from Bloor down to Gerrard by infilling with midrises to consolidate its streetwall, improving the street realm and restoring the old mansions along the lines of the Selby and James Cooper Mansion.
But you're definitely right that there are some nasty townhouse developments along Jarvis.

This gives off similar vibes to the YWCA and No. 210 on Simcoe. Not great, but is generally passable and blends into the cityscape alright.
