A 16 storey, 191-unit apartment block is proposed on the extreme edge of Cambridge at 1045 / 1085 Main Street. This one slipped under the radar and went to council a month ago as a 14 storey unit - but is now upgraded to 16 stories after council suggested it (?!?!). It also appears that this overall project includes adjacent townhouses in the plan of subdivision.
I'm happy to see new apartments in my corner of the city - but I can't help but wonder why council makes it easy to build new big things on the extreme edge of the city and impossible to build in the core where the services and people are. (We all know why)
This is also quite close to this project that has had no news since it was announced.

Quote:The Official Plan and Zoning by-law amendments would facilitate the development of a 16 storey 191 unit apartment building on Block 8 of draft plan of subdivision 30T-20104. The site proposes 239 parking spaces for residents and visitors.
