CTV2 did a report on that the development a few weeks ago. Fincore had been buying many of the private properties on the southern side of South Street (say that 5 times quickly
) and are waiting for the city to declare its property to be surplus and be up for sale. Residents on the North side were obviously not happy that Fincore 1) wasn't offering to buy their properties and 2) that their houses would be in the shadows of the proposed towers and that they we not consulted.
Personally I don't care for the idea of what the towers would be used for, specifically the nursing home and holistic healing "ideas". However I think its sorta inevitable, the riverfront area would be developed for intensity and high rise buildings of some sort will follow.
