Aerial of site as it is, the right-hand side of the existing apartment is a City Park so I will assume this is to the left west of the existing building.

In the orbit of a new-fangled Kennedy Station which has gone from a terminal station of one line to an interchange hub of two lines and a GO stop.Also it seems to be proposed as infill to an existing tower. Finally there are about 94 parking spaces in underground parking, unimaginable 10 years ago.
