Joey Coleman shared the following additional info on the MV being requested. Those are very small apartments. I love the height (it will match 75 James kitty-corner) but the apartment rearrangements seem excessive. Certainly not the strategy of a developer who aims to build rentals instead of condos.
The application for the property at 98 James Street South seeks to increase the approved unit count from 259 to 395, an increase of 136 units from the plan approved by City Council in 2015.
If approved, the 395 units will consist of 213 one-bedroom, 148 two-bedroom, and 34 three-bedroom units.
The unit count increase would result in smaller residential spaces. The 395-unit mix includes three-bedroom units as small as 712 square feet, one-bedroom units starting at 401 square feet, and two-bedroom units starting at 527 square feet.
Vantage faces a December 31, 2026 deadline to begin construction, or it will have to pay the City an additional ~$5.1-million in development charges.
