'According to the page, there are 1,304 residential units under development.'

So ~1650-1700 new residents or so.
 
I didn't see the list, but a couple of the projects specifically mentioned in the article finished in the last year or so and some others are still in progress.

So I think it is fair to mention them still, they were all an improvement and the impact is still being felt.

Now that the construction is done, it would be nice if the main level space could be filled in HSBC and 103 St place, that would improve things even more.

Nice to see this happening along 102 Ave bike lane at 106 street - art gallery did a nice job adding some visual appeal to the street. And they converted their little parking lot to a patio space that people were enjoying along with a few food vendors.

More of this please!
 
Their model is great -- currently Toronto centric (most locations) with a few existing in La Belle Province. Two types: one custom-sized for hirise apartment buildings and one for convenience locations in communities. Hirise stores as small as 300 sq.ft. -- the one here is probably not much larger than that -- guessing maybe 600 -- 700. Since it is a new franchise opportunity, I expect these to start popping up in large buildings all over downtown.
 
It seems like a no-brainer for owners of large apartment/condo projects to buy into the franchise themselves -- a simple ancillary business that would tend to improve lessee/condo owners' buy-ins to the building itself. The model could also work for other convenience items, not just groceries -- the kind of dispenser models prevalent in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. I could see building owners looking to solve their podium leasing problems, especially if adding in eateries and bars of the "street-food" variety. This could be a game-changer for viability of projects in downtowns all across North America.
