The subject property is on the east side of Monk Street, between Thornton Avenue (which is one block south of Fifth Avenue), Melgund (which is one block north of Holmwood), Monk Street and Bank Street. A new mixed-use building with retail and residential use, ranging in height from four to nine storeys. is being built behind and on the south side of the property.
The proposed new building is 4 storeys with a flat roof. The objective is to be a contemporary project integral to itself, and at the same time relating to the neighbouring building through the use of similar brick and the datum line of the top of the brick. The building is symmetrical, with an axis through the main entrance which is now directly from the street via a walkway at grade. There are balconies facing Monk Street, which relate to the porches of the townhouses to the north, through repetition but transformed to contemporary balconies.
