Six-Sixty Belmont | 13 fl | Proposed

[danbrotherston]

None of those taller buildings are part of the Village strip, however.  What the proposal does is something new in the strip.

New height, while expecting to add 3 new shops, 100s of new local shoppers, a new IHT access point mid-block, and activation of the laneway for events.

Honestly, this is a way better development for the space than it could be while still meeting by-law. The whole street is technically able to be bought, flattened, and turned into zero-street activation 8 story condo blocks. If anything, residents should be doing backflips about turning a dead tire garage into new street front shops that further the village at the low cost of now 2 extra stories of height. The lack of perspective is astounding.

Welcome to NIMBYism.

They aren't interested in what it COULD be, if it is different from what it is, they oppose it.
