I wish the horrid pair identical to these at Dundas and Scarlett would get a similar makeover.

Something this site made me think of is the need to take this proposal (add to it) immediately to the east.
Current TCHC and the City own more than 1/2 the block bounded by Coxwell, Queen, Eastern.
The building on the S-W corner of this block is TCHC.
While a large building in the centre of the block facing Queen is a low-rise Community/Social Services office.
The N/W corner of this block is a low-rise Community Health Centre which the area values, but which could be retained underneath any redevelopment.
The only true private-sector portion of the lot is the small, ugly, Harvey's on the N/E corner.
Depending on how high one went, and how massing was done; I think it should be possible to add 35 RGI and 35 affordable units, minimum, while adding lots of new market-rental housing.
All while managing to replace a badly aging TCHC building, deliver some public realm improvements; and ideally, shift the some/all of the parking from Woodbine Park underneath this site, allowing for an expansion of the park.
Orange is TCHC and City holdings
Purple is the Community Health Ctr.
Blue is the Harvey's.

Seems like a stretch, coastal. I've heard it applied to waterfronts on the ocean, but on a lake, no matter how large? Feels like a desperate ploy.

I guess the "shore" wasn't sexy enough.
