The taxes are not owed on the entire building, they are owed on specific units within the Condo strata of the “Commercial Condo” — they just all share the same street address.

When they have worked on including EMS hub into some of the Housing Now podiums, it is essentially defined as 250 m2 drive-thru section of the street-level for swapping staff shifts and restocking / cleaning the EMS vehicles, same format to what they have included in 260 Adelaide St W project -...

Counting and comparing UNIT COUNTS is not always useful, because the City prefers larger units in their "Affordable Housing" allocation -- than the regular "Market Rental" units. 20% of total R-GFA is what the City usually enforces in these agreements, but then requires more 2 & 3 Bedroom units...
