Weirdly that image also wasn't showing up for me. Maybe this thread is cursed!

More seriously though, they do look like quite skinny units. Probably just the angle.

Looks like they're re-doing the balconies? The building could go for a coat of paint as well...

Too bad the Blanchard buildings will be the backdrop.

Wasn't sure what topic to put this under, but does anyone know if there's residential development plans for the corner of Cheever/Burton? Pretty much an entire block was boarded up when i walked by yesterday.

There's already a relatively new townhouse development across the street from there so maybe more of those on the way? http://www.effortrentals.com/properties/burton-gardens-townhouses

I hope not.

Beedok · #**3011** Posted **May 22, 2015, 9:27 PM**

Maybe they're renovating?

I live on Cheever but south of the tracks. North is a dramatic change.

From www.thepublicrecord.ca

The Anglican Diocese of Niagara’s – headquartered at the Cathedral on James Street North – Synod approved moving forward with a multi-million redevelopment of their Cathedral grounds at 252-254 James Street North and 270 Hughson Street North.

The plan, which is still in early stages, proposes a eight storey mixed use building in the rear of the property facing onto Hughson Street.

Revenue from the condo portion of the development will fund the operations of Cathedral Place including restoration of the heritage-designated Cathedral and school house facade.

McMaster to Open New “Accelerator” Program in James North Arts District

McMaster University is coming to James Street North with a 2,500 square feet business incubator focused on “digital media and information communication technology, tourism and culture, education and life sciences and advanced health.”

City Council is expected to ratify a $25,000 “forgivable loan” to McMaster University to assist with leasehold improvements for the new office located at 109 James Street North.

The building at 109 James North is owned by Mark Milne and Tim Potocic of Sonic Unyon fame and most recently housed Haji Grocery.

Milne and Potocic own five street addresses on the block and are nearing completion of extensive renovation and additions to the upper floors of three of the buildings.

McMaster needs a loan from the City? Why?

Sonic Unyon needs a cushy lease with the public sector instead of the independent businesses they claim to heroically rent to? Why?

Jon Dalton · #**3017** Posted **May 24, 2015, 9:49 PM**

I hope this facility is able to incubate some interesting new businesses for the area. Maybe a nice authentic Mexican restaurant?

Dr Awesomesauce · #**3018** Posted **May 24, 2015, 11:45 PM**

Ohhhh I see what you did there...

Because they can. After years of MAC squeezing the city, this cannot be a surprise.
