Photos from today at Yonge and 16th. This proposal is for the north east side of the intersection--South Hill Shopping Centre. There is also a two-tower proposal for the north west side--Hillcrest Mall.
This would be the second tallest proposal in Richmond Hill after Metroview's 8700 Yonge St.
I wonder what portion of the shopping center this development would occupy. There's a TON of surface parking at this intersection between this plaza and Hillcrest Mall across the street.
