It appears that ground level consists of 'live-work' units instead of straight retail. I would rather see retail as it would probably animate the street better.
I agree....Adelaide is a total traffic sewer in this section. It's fairly unpleasant to walk along (let alone stroll along). Same with Richmond around this area.
While walking along Adelaide just east of Sherbourne, I noticed an application for a 29 storey residential building. Is there already a thread about this?
Nice to see a developer get approval BEFORE opening a sales office (Leslieville Lofts anyone?). Between this building, East, Rezen and The Modern on Richmond, this neighbourhood will be adding 1,000+/- new units in the next 3 years. That's alot of inventory.
