The property of 393 Dundas St E is listed among the City's Open Door affordable housing plans. That address appears to be the current sliver of parking space on the SW corner at Milan Street. It's roughly halfway between Sherbourne and Parliament.

The plans currently call for 12 residential units to be built on this site, to be operated by St. Jude's Community Homes.
