Alright I did some cross comparison - it's hard to tell as they don't have the corner building to scale on their rendering - so I guess we'll wait and see. Still here are the images and an overlay for comparison - reading the notes it looks like the addition to the corner house is being demolished, but I couldn't read much else on the drawing as it's too small. Love to have the original size of that image posted on the last page.
So it's poooossible those trees are kept - but it'd be REALLY cutting it close in that design. Obv. the canopies make it difficult to discern trunk locations but it seems the design may have accomodated for them - not sure.
Also it would appear my hunch was correct - that corner house has been bought and has been incorporated into the whole design. The garage and the 2 buildings to the left of it are going to be demolished.
"Belmont Equity bought parcels on Jackson Street West — south of Main Street West — and have an agreement to purchase 74 Queen South to complement the tall building.
The facade of 74 Queen, which sits on the corner of Jackson and has two units, is to be preserved. Its roof will be rebuilt to maintain its character."
Not sure why they are rebuilding the roof - it looks fine as is? Maybe it's deteriorated since..
Sorry for going on a tangent lol. Overall though - I really DO like this proposed development. It looks good esp in comparison to the george st one - they look good together.
I am liking the white building designs - time will tell how they age, but it really is refreshing compared to the drab taupe and grey coloured buildings they usually build in the city
