A proposal has been submitted to council for a 4-story apartment building to be built up behind the Lillydale Seniors Complex.

Anyone know what this structure is that is being built behind the Aquarena? It doesn't seem part of the Canada Games Track and Field complex. Its about 7 floors high. I know they were gonna build student housing in that area too and was wondering if that was what this is?

I think that's what it is

Looking through the agenda of tomorrow's Committee of the Whole meeting, and found there is a proposal to build 13 apartment buildings on the old Holy Cross Junior High site. Calling for 150-200 units, so I'm assuming the buildings wouldn't have much height.

This is literally in my backyard. I'm glad to see at least a proposal, that's a massive empty space. I hope they have the drainage worked out, that area is bog and has a river running through the middle of it.

Was just reading also on the sept agenda a proposal for a new street at 188 New Pennywell road for 32 town houses. Seems to be lots of proposal now for apartments and townhouses.

VOCM this morning - https://vocm.com/2024/09/11/250604/. City seems bullish on it, but I expect the NIMBYS to start coming out of the woodwork.

The land being cleared on Kenmount Road in the Kenmount Crossing area next to Metro Self Storage is another Metro Self Storage building. This will feature inside drive-thru access and 4 levels.

Seeing on Plaza REITs website that The Village is to be redeveloped into a mixed use site.

“The Village is being redeveloped into a mixed-use project.“

It was always a mixed used site
