168 King St S | 8 fl | U/C

And yet in some ways so little.

Half the property has 28 parking spaces. The other half has 7 parking spaces and 42 units. So ignoring the awkward shape of the property, twice as many units would fit if the space wasn’t occupied by parking.

It’s too bad they couldn’t get one more house on George. The property shape is quite awkward.

Even with the property as it is, it really would be much nicer if the building came closer to the adjacent house, instead of being separated by a parking lot. A low rise portion transitioning between the taller building at King and the next door house would leave less of a gap in the street frontage. Not sure how the numbers would work out of course.
