Directly south of 421 Brant Street which was just approved, another developer has an application in for another 23 storey building..

I'm concerned that with all these developments, Burlington may someday get frequent bus service.

Won't someone please think of the heritage? [retires to fainting couch]

This was a nicely scaled shopping street, with some high quality independent stores. Hopefully the city requires retail at grade here. Developers -- please don't bring in more banks, Shoppers, Dollarama. Lets some character survive.

And that day will be when cows start to fly. As long as their backwards thinking city council, and residents who love to make up excuses such as: "there will be increased diesel fumes and noise" keep speaking out, I don't think any of us will be seeing the day where that city has a functioning transit system.

Looking at the development application it will be preserving the Kelly's Cupcake store and Schmid Albert Jewellery. There will be retail on John Street, while Brant street will be the buildings lobby.

Approved by city council as of December 22, 2022. So far the only real update of value I can find is this page from the urban design brief, still no more renderings

The NRU has noted that the developer applied for several variances (15, to be exact) in 2022 for this project, maintaining the general built form as approved in 2018 (18 storeys - could a mod update the thread title?). 13 were apparently approved by the CoA, with two being denied with relation to some proposed parking stackers.
The developer appealed the denial to the OLT, where they have now been subsequently approved. Notably, the City of Burlington appeared at the hearing in support of the appeal.

ooooh. where did you find that? It's not on the City's website from what I can tell.
Good to finally see some activity here though.
That building looks very high end - definitely looks like it's targeting the luxury market.
