1218A to 1220 Queen Street East, NW corner at the Leslie St intersection, is listed for sale at $4.95 million:

This property was listed a couple of years ago for about the same price I believe. The former 'China Lily' property kitty corner to this site is too to be developed. I'm not certain if 'Gio Rna's' property is large enough for a small apartment building.mHowever the 'Dukes' site is ripe for development with its historical building and large parking lot behind. Lots of potential for this intersection.
 
124 Logan Ave is listed for sale at $2.25 million. The listing description mentions opportunity for redevlopment:



Rare opportunity to acquire a freestanding building with 30 ft. of frontage, steps from Eastern Ave. The neighbourhood is going through massive transformation with several residential developments and future transit stops (Ontario Line) only blocks away. Current zoning allows for detached or semi-detached house, townhouse, duplex, triplex, fourplex & apartment building. Future potential uses for commercial use via zoning by-law amendment.

Seems like for this space

Excellent piece! TY for linking to that.

While I happen to favour decriminalization of possession for personal use of most drugs.......as I don't see jail as a real solution.......

I'm also increasingly opposed to safe consumption sites. I say that as someone, who like the resident in the story who started out as a supporter of these.

But my take is simply that they aren't achieving a net public benefit.

Yes, they do save some lives, and that's not to be under valued; the bigger question mark though is how many lives have they cost?

How many more people are addicted today, than was the case a few years ago? How many more have considerably worsened health, or negative encounters with the justice system? That in addition to the problem of those victimized by persons in
an intoxicated state.

Of course, harm-reduction sites didn't cause addiction, and they are far from being the only or even primary contributor to a worsening situation.

But if they aren't helping tame the problem, perhaps its time to look for a different path.

This new bar/event space/café is on Eastern and is another indication that this stretch is quickly evolving as Leslieville to the north gets pricier and The Portlands to the south gets closer to the next phase of development. The second image is of a studio that I don’t recall seeing last year and wondered if it was new or just a renovation. Taken 12 September.

After taking a friend to Leslie Lookout Park we walked along Eastern from Leslie to Knox. I’m not sure when these were renovated or built but they look newer. The postal site is looking very saleable! Taken 19 September.

Excellent lunch at Pasaj!
