It's a pretty standard Toronto-style medium, but buildings this size and form (with retail!) should be built throughout the city so it's encouraging.

Why does it have a front lawn? It looks ridiculous set back like that.
The city has a 36m Right of Way assigned to this stretch of Sheppard in the Official Plan when the existing width is ~23m.. which results in large 6.5m deep road widenings provided by every redevelopment.

As to why the city has assigned such a large ROW, I can't tell you. They aren't planning surface rapid transit on this stretch, and most likely will never 6 lane the road.. so I don't know why they want a huge ROW.

Official Plan calls for 6-lanes of traffic here on Sheppard between Bathurst & Bayview,... to match most other part of Sheppard Ave.

Current local councillor and City Planning are more keen at keeping it at 4-lanes here but using wider ROW (gain via front setback via development as per this proposal) for wider sidewalk, boulevard park-space, etc,...
