On the Weber, Scott and Pearl side I am surprised that they are not going a little taller. Also in the project description it seems like they are going to keep the existing townhouse complex and the house next to it which should keep heritage advocates happy.
There is a plan for an 11 storey mixed use building at the other side of Weber and Scott, a building permit has been submitted. That project is by Urbanfund but I have not been able to find a render.

Hard to understand where this is given they cropped the renders (why???) — is this replacing the parking lot, or the empty lot / house? Or both?

From the images it looks decent. Made-for-rent or purchase?

Presumably a rental given the proponent (a REIT).
It looks nice enough to me, and 10 storeys is great. It should (of course) have ground-floor commercial at this location.

What do you expect rents to be in this place? If Barrel Yards is setting the benchmark for new rental buildings, not cheap.
