Northern Light

Morguard has registered to lobby the City on behalf of the owner to explore redevelopment options.
This Mall is located at 1530 Albion Road, on the west side of Kipling.
Site Size: ~15 hectares/37 acres *
Difficult to ascertain as there are multiple parcels/easements across and adjacent to the overt mall property, but I think I'm in the ballpark.
The area is generally low-rise in character to the south, west and east; but sports a collection of purpose-built rental to the north that's in 12-14s range.
The site does have (or will have) the Finch West LRT on its north/west frontage.
While the site lacks a high density precedent, I don't see it being all the problematic here. I'm not sure I see this as a 40s+ cluster; but definitely dense and hirise.
Site as it is (Albion frontage):

I imagine @Justin Ziadeh might have some thoughts.

Does anyone have any pictures of the Dollarama inside the albion mall Not yet. Google images isn't providing any photos either. I may do a return trip soon to the area for followup photos. Admittedly, I was under the presumption that the Albion mall location was going to replace the nearby...
