One tower with rentals sounds nice to replace what would be torn down, but no way would the units will be very sizable compared to whats currently there. Won't be suprised for a redesign of the proposed buildings.

The City typically requires that rental replacement units are of the same approximate size as the rental suites that they're replacing. (There's often minimum square footages written into the agreement between the City and the developer.)

Oooooh, mybad. Never heard about that. Anyways, this twin tower project sounds great for the area! Would be amzing if the rental building would be given to TCHC, as affordable housing, although thats up to the management of course.

These buildings have been added to The 120m List. Somehow they were missed.
No apology necessary, especially as you're reviving a "lost list": it's tough keeping track of everything! We're attempting to improve our own cataloguing of development proposals in this city as we embark on another year of Growth To Watch For stories. The amount of information you have to corral for those stories is growing every year, and we're learning how difficult it is to stay on top of it all, especially for proposals where the developer .

...revises constantly because they keep asking for too much and then they go to the OMB and have to modify it based on that and then the property gets bought and a new proposal comes out and then it goes to the DRP?
That too!
