Just when you thought the lane closure was going to end!
If they had made them tetris shaped I could totally be on board with that... but each is seamed at rectangular joints.. maybe we should recommend that- L and T and S shapesErm, the seams are not playing dominoes. It is an epic game of Tetris.
It's still really weird to me standing there, knowing those are going to be people's balconies facing Main St.ahh yes, the location of the soon-to-be-trampled grass..
Has this happened in Toronto? I guess they could be made into commercial in the future, and I thinkkkk this developer mentioned that the units were made with that thought in mind.I used to be concerned when buildings had no retail on the ground level until I started seeing residential units being converted to retail after they were built. All it takes is a stroke of a pen and you have a change of use! And grass in front can easily be turned into a patio with pavers or an extension of retail to the sidewalk.
Property tax is actually tied to land use, and commercial property tax is far higher than residential property tax on the same property. It does depend on location, but from what I've seen commercial leases are typically cheaper per square foot than residential in Hamilton. I actually think that might be the case in Toronto as well dependent on location.It has happened with increasing frequency in Toronto and is starting to pop up elsewhere. Of course it entirely depends on the location. As for desirability, the property tax goes up because the rent commanded goes up dramatically.
