That was back in January 2021, and the only thing that has happened on-site since then is the existing houses were demolished.

As far as I can tell, the developer is working on a new design. Here was the original design, which contained 22 residential units and 2 commercial units:



Looking at the architect's website, it seems that the new design is 30 residential units with 2,565 sq ft of commercial space (not sure how many commercial units). Here's what is currently shown on the architect's website:

Looks like the new design was rejected by the City Centre Community Committee on Feb. 24. This is the second time now that a proposal for that property has been rejected.
