Impressive renderings. Great location beside the Humber River. They could use the retail space - lack of it in the area.
I'm a bit confused at this comment. There is actually lots of retail along this strip.
From Royal York going east there is:
- a plaza with Bruno Foods & Mastermind along with about 10 stores on the south
- a row of 4-5 smaller independent shops/restuarants on the north
- Dry-cleaners and a bike store on the south
- a non-descript plaza with a half dozen stores on the south
- Kingsway by the River will have retail as part of the redevelopment of the Rona
- a plaza with Dominoes + 3 other stores on the North
- 4195 Dundas is being redeveloped with retail at grade (if i recall it correctly)
- some random stores (rugs, ice cream) on the North side of the street
- another plaza with about 6 stores in it on the north just before the river.
I would love to see more retail as well. But your statement that it is lacking is a bit misleading.
