The other day I was walking on Queen East and was surprised by the condition of that area. I am not talking about areas far from downtown, but the stretch between say Victoria (past St Mike) and Jarvis (before it hits Moss Park). That location is fantastic, 5-10 minutes to the Queen subway, Eaton center, St Lawrance Market, financial district yet it looks totally abandoned as if no one cares!
Contrary to Queen West, there is very little commercial activities. On the south side, a few old red brick row-house sort of buildings, except for George restaurant, you don't know any of those are. On the north side, there is humongous surface parking lot occupying the entire area between Dalhousie and Mutual, Queen and Shutter. I mean, it is really huge! then some sparadic small structures I would never step into.
The area between Richmond St E and Adelaide E, only 5 minutes away from Yonge, multiple large surface parking lots just lie there for years.
All these should be considered prime location, in the very center of the city, why are they not developed yet? Just because it is east of Yonge st makes it that unattractive? I mean St Lawrance market is litterally steps away in the south?
I really look forward for this area to be developed, and those vast empty lots in such great location are just unbelievable! Anyone knows any projects coming up there?
