Edit: whoops, didn't realize there was already a thread for this. I tried looking for it, but couldn't find it, thanks for moving my post.

THE HOPE AND THE PLAN

The property at 412 Barton [St E] will be converted to 15 deeply affordable units. They are intended for seniors facing homelessness, with a special focus on Indigenous and Black older adults 55+, designating 50% of the units for women.

Water/Sewer lines are installed before the construction of new 15 unit affordable homes

I really hope that wall doesn't end up being blank brick as shown...

So only 6 "seniors" can fit into this? Seems small.. or maybe there are more on the back as it is quite deep.. but yeah the lack of side windows is a tad odd..

I did state maybe there were more on the back - and my bad I miscounted the floors - its 5 floors above the 1st floor.. so .. the middle units just don't have windows..? I'd need to see all views of this building and floor plans to truly understand what's going on inside, since it's incredibly narrow..
