Wow, this was very under the radar. Had no idea they'd even broken ground.
This one will get completed fast IMO.

These didn't get as much press as some of their other projects, but I really like this one for it's location.

There's apparently a Fiddleheads store and cafe in this building now. Some of the first retail well within the Northdale area.

No, not apparently. There is officially a Fiddleheads here... I have lots of coupons for 2x1 smoothies! I spoke with the owner the other day and she said that this location is doing incredibly well. It's interesting to note that Balsam and Larch streets are not designated as mixed use streets in the Northdale plan, but the zoning allows for commercial so the developer took advantage of this. It's almost trippy to see commercial in the interior of a former single family neighbourhood, it's great though!

I'm afraid that Northdale has been a student ghetto for many years already. If anything, adding commercial development will improve its condition.

Of course it will. A student district is what city council makes of it... or allows to be made of it via zoning, to be more precise.
Yet when the result is disappointing city council turns around and blames students for the "student ghetto" rather than taking ownership for the mess they themselves created.
Northdale has been a student district for over 30 years. City council (1) tried to deny this fact (2) uglified the area with its restrictive density no commercial use zoning policies (3) fostered couches in lawns by not allowing proper student outlets in the area (4) made the student area larger than necessary by trying to enforce low density everywhere north of University and (5) blamed the students for all of this.
The newer policies seem to have created a livelier area, stopped student sprawl, made students happier because of increased housing stock near the universities and give an inkling of what this area could become. In the meantime we should lay fault where it belongs and call this area the city-council ghetto since it is them who created it.
