The building across the street is six or seven storeys, if memory serves. I'm surprised they aren't trying for a little more here.

It is seven storeys. I live in the building which is where this photo was taken from. I am just surprised they can fit 17 units on such a small lot. The units must be small.

Putting 17 units above street retail on that site is a very suitable level of intensification for this area.

Are there any renderings for this site?

They have been digging holes and filling them up with concrete over the last month. Seems to be winding down and one of the excavators was removed today.

“It’s Iike a ‘war zone’”:
Yeah, looks the bombing of Dresden all right.
Must be a huge case if their lawyer is letting his/her law clerk do the press statements.

More than 650 affordable housing units proposed for Toronto
Mayor John Tory said the Open Door affordable housing program, which uses incentives to boost low-cost supply, is only one tool to fight Toronto’s housing crisis.

The site still remains dormant. Only change is that the wooden hoarding has been replaced by a metal fence:

Guess this will rack up as another case of good that it's affordable housing, but why so little? They could've gone for double the height and units.

58 sq.m. average unit size. These won't be family units, that's for sure.

Didn't capture a picture but there is now an office trailer and excavator on sight moving around dirt. Has been there for about week with constant activity. Small crew as well.
In sadder news Barocco X Nino across the street is closed as their lease has ended and they try to find a new spot. According to the letter on the door something else is already planned to replace it.
