I'm curious if the footprint of the building being small, plus the hostile roads of Queen and Main led to this not having a commercial component.

I could see that being a part of it - this isn't really an area people go to shop - and it's dangerously close to that traffic - with no real setback. Aka it's not a route people would normally walk along city wise.
Although it does look like they've set it back father than the original render design.. but yeah.. lots of traffic.
also that house on the corner is BEAUTIFUL - look at what they have done with the property out front!

also looks like they may have to demolish some historic buildings along this road to get those townhouses in.. a least the one with the blue shutters, and that absolutely ADORABLE garage building.. sheesh it seems such a shame to encroach on this guys obv. beautiful lot..
They better not cut down any of those trees, and what about his gazebo backyard? Doesn't look like he'll have ANY backyard left after those townhouses are built.. although it's really hard to tell from the angle the renders are at..
