Proposing to construct a seven (7) storey mid-rise apartment building with 30 residential units and a small commercial component with parking at grade. Currently, there is a small 2 storey commercial building that occupies the western portion of the subject site with remainder of the property being a parking area all of which will be demolished to facilitate the proposal.

*Note: That direct development application is currently still blank. To view details, search Ward 15 through here.
 
It looks like the LRT is already motivating development proposals. Eglinton really needs great architecture: it has a decent urban form of mixed-use buildings built right up to the sidewalks, but those buildings tend to have rather modest and forgettable architecture. Better public spaces are also needed, and hopefully the LRT stations will begin to address this issue.
 
Thing is that this is past phase 1 of the LRT, it would be on the airport extension.

I had to do a double take on this post.. :p

It happens to be right where Caledonia station would be on Phase 1 of the LRT. The terminus for the Crosstown is Jane/Weston which is west of this site. :cool:

This is very nice! Great Materials and set backs from the street. The city seems to be changing the road pattern and side-walking over the the triangle island and forming a nice wide opportunity for trees and benches.

But only an 8 storey rental right at a future GO and LRT Station - This should be 10 storeys as of right
