"But a city can be smothered by too much reverence for its past. The skyline must keep acquiring new peaks, because the day we consider it complete and untouchable is the day the city begins to die." - Justin Davidson - May 2010 Issue of New York
More recently construction started next door on some kind of maybe 2 or 3 storey row houses. I'll have to look closer next time. But they're right up close to this building. Not that it's a great view of Lagimodiere, but kind of sucks for these people.

6 story building looks like it’s less than 10 feet away from 3 story?
^ I took a spin up Lag over the weekend and I noticed that... I'm all for density but it is weird to see how close together those buildings are. Once you're putting the buildings that close together, why not just do it properly with a party wall?
This project itself looks great for the purpose it serves. The neighbours thing is perplexing. Will look through the Clerk's page to see what I can find.
Its at least 20ft away, its disgusting the the city allows a low quality slap em up development, in between 2 higher quality developments, its like there are no architectural standards, the people that will live on the first 2 floors of the old folks home will look at a wall out of their window.

Even though that 3-storey crap is getting built I am liking the cluster of density that is occurring on Grassie/Lag. With that other proposal on Jacques it should really help that strip mall and the local businesses.
Speaking of that strip mall I wonder if there will be any plans to redevelop in the near future because it would be great to have something mixed-use on there.
Did anyone notice who the owner is, It is a numbered company C/O Marwest, which is the Martens Family, that owns Marwest and part of or most of Artis Reit
Pretty low quality development coming from this group
