A few proposals have come through for the east side:
Five six-storey residential towers are planned for the north-west corner of the Tecumseh Mall property (currently a grass field). Site plan can be seen in the article
here. This is a really great development being close to both commercial as well as the transit hub at Tecumseh Mall. If approved by council, the developer plans to have shovels in the ground by early spring. I think something like this at Devonshire on the old Sears side would be great as well (after it's finished being the vaccination clinic).
A five-storey development has been approved by the development committee for 6475 Wyandotte St E (currently vacant), although there has been some neighbour pushback (when isn't there?). Article can be found
here. Typical complaints you would expect: too much street parking, home value decrease, etc. I've seen many of these types of buildings in other cities with no issues. Glad to see Holt and Bortolin sticking to their guns on this one.
