Toronto The Shoppes on Scarlett & Lambton Towns | 12.98m | 3s | Dunpar Homes | Turner Fleischer

There's a phat Blahblah's practically right around the corner. :)
...yeah, I should of done a little more research of the unfamiliar area to me before posting that.

So I'll amend this to: It needs a phat something, not necessarily Blahblah's. >.<
 
Still no commercial tenants have moved in yet. Not much going on here apart from the curb side being used for parking by contractors for their trucks and vans.

When they start the construction of the new railway underpass at Scarlett/St. Clair/Dundas, it'll be slow. Likely the tenants will want to wait till the underpass construction has ended.

Only to be disrupted again when they extend the 512 ST. CLAIR streetcar to Scarlett Road. Only then would there be good customer flow.

never knew there were plans to extend the streetcar, what is the timetable?

Not funded, so no timetable. However, the new underpass should be configured to have a foundation for streetcar tracks, which would be installed by the next century at the speed Toronto and Ontario proceeds with transit infrastructure.
 
It's a good alternative to a high-rise condo. Low-rise buildings are typically less expensive to maintain than high-rise buildings over the long run. There should be significantly more low-rise density in the city. That way, more people can buy a home for life and not have to worry about maintenance fees approaching or exceeding $1,000 per month as you see in a lot of older high-rise buildings.

There are many spacious three bedroom condo townhouses from the 1970s and 1980s with maintenance fees between $200 and $500. You generally can't say that about three-bedroom units in high-rise buildings of that vintage.
 
Sales for the townhomes launching soon according to an email sent from a realtor group. Prices starting at $1.5 million per unit. Tentative occupancy mentioned to be around summer 2024.

 
I suspect those spaces will likely remain struggling in the near term. The area needs a real catalyst in order to attract commercial interest in that direction. Especially as St. Clair west of Jane is a real hostile streetscape for pedestrians, and there's no shortage of retail for about 2 kilometers eastward along St. Clair.

Once the townhomes get built that may help a bit, although various employment usage instead of direct retail may end up being a likelier tenant focus here.

An extension of the 512 ST. CLAIR streetcar to loop around Jane Street, Dundas Street West, Scarlett Road (under the rebuilt railway underpass), and St. Clair Avenue West, would be of some help.
