This is the old funeral home across from Pizza Pizza. They are not building anything. They are selling the property, and the pictures are of what you could build there if you bought the land. Or you could just use the building and property as is.

Easy to imagine that many developments along the LRT corridor will go to OLT. That thing would cast a pretty nasty shadow into those tiny backyards.

Zero chance something of that height gets built there. Zero chance. 6 story? Maybe. 19 story? Nope. The entire neighbourhood would shut it down.

This is the description of the site, does this mean it's technically already approved for 19 floors?

"Attention all Developers, Excellent user/redevelopment opportunity. With new MTSA approval coming, you can build up to 19 floors right at key LRT node with views of Gage Park. Prime corner lot with three street frontages. Great access to major public transit station and green space. Current building is two stories very clean and big building with up to 6500sf of usable space, perfect for many uses, with plenty of parking. Zoning permits a wide range of uses. Official plan designation of Mixed-Use Medium Density. GFA could be up to 160,000sf residential and 4500sf commercial space, for 19 floors."

It would be interesting to see if the zoning is approved for that.. It does say "zoning permits a wide range of uses" but that comment in itself is vague, same with the "could be" comment..
