A concrete wasteland that has been an eyesore in Ward 5 for more than a decade is headed for a transformation.

City councillors unanimously supported this week applications for official plan and zoning amendments as the first step toward a housing project that will eventually allow about 1,000 people to live on the former Canadian Tire property on Colborne Street East.

Cachet Developments is proposing a diverse mixture of housing for the 11-acre property, including nine- and five-storey apartment buildings facing Colborne, two mixed-use townhouse blocks and a mix of stacked and back-to-back townhouse units, including parking, landscaped areas and a large central amenity area.

I didn't get a picture but construction here is well underway. The stacked towns at the rear of the site have completed wood framing. The foundations for the apartment buildings are also nearing completion.
