Loads of good things planned for Huron (not looking at you, Robarts/UTS additions).
 
^ that construction is actually for the development next door (townhome with laneway housing). I think they are using the backyard/parking area of this parcel just for construction trailer and storage etc. This development will probably start after the one next door is finished.
 
Site Plan application submitted but no materials yet:

 
Materials are in. Changes include:

• The north wall of the mixed-use building has been moved to 0.45m from the north lot line. This
provides an opportunity to create a new residential unit entrance on Huron Street, where previously
it was set into the middle of the north side of the property;
• The main commercial entrance has been relocated from the Glen Morris Street to Huron Street;
• Garbage storages area for have been provided;
• Additional rear setback has been provided for the laneway suite to better accommodate the “living
lane”;
• Additional details regarding the landscaped open space;
• Additional bike parking spaces;
• A green roof feature has been added to the mixed-use building; and
• Solar panels have been added to the laneway suite.
 
Refinements look good and the landscape plan is much improved. Good sized 1150 sq ft 3 bed on that 3rd floor. Would love to see more of these types of builds with commercial on more side streets. Would also have loved to see this at 6-8 stories, not 3.
 
So are they planning on keeping the *eatery component with this place?

*Note: If they do, they also need to keep it affordable too. To which this place had a history of being when I've been in a pinch. :(
 
Definitely nice to see the return of a retail unit being incorporated at the base as the previous zoning allows for it, which is a rarity along these primarily residential side streets.

And yes, hopefully something that's student/budget friendly and not a chain.
