Boulevard Property Inc is looking to add ~18'000sq ft of retail along the east side of Sackville Drive in the Leaside/Pinehill neighbourhood. Both buildings will be two storeys tall and consist of a glass and what appears to be tilt-up concrete exterior. It is located at civic #527 which has a funeral home currently on site. It will be located adjacent to McDonald's in the "three stoplights" / Sackville Cross Road area. There will be 6 CRU's total with the largest being roughly 5'000sq ft.
It's a slight improvement over current building design standards in Sackville. Glass is rare along the existing commercial stretch and there is dedicated walkways to the front doors without having to cross through an oversized parking lot.
The application is seeking a development agreement for the site. All commercial over 5'000sq ft in the Sackville Drive SPS requires one.

This proposal is going forward to NWPAC for feedback next week. There are quite a few detailed renderings in the report. The more I look at it the more I like it.
Staff Report
On another note the Downsview Tim Hortons (next to the former Staples) has closed. Sackville now has Timmies on Beaverbank, Sackville Drive (past Margeson), and a drive-thru next to the former Downsview location. The hotel rumour persists but my best guess says its a good spot for a restaurant similar to Boston Pizza, say Montana's, Swiss Chalet, or dare I say Earl's or Five Guys.
