There will be one 62-storey mixed-use building (residential), with retail uses on the first two floors, constructed on the site.

Yes, this is a mixed-use development that features condominium units, publicly accessible space, and approximately 27,000 square feet of commercial space in the podium level.

• The development includes a new urban park space dedicated to the neighbourhood. That’s 705 square meters of public park and publicly accessible open space – almost twice the size of Frank Stollery Parkette. We will be commencing a consultation process for the public to engage in the park design in 2020.
• Other enhancements to the public realm include:
  – Improving existing pedestrian connections, such as completing the Clock Tower Walkway and Town Hall Walkway.
  – Activating the Yorkville Avenue, public lane, and public park frontages through the incorporation of commercial uses on the ground floor and outdoor patio and seating areas.
• We’ve also paid considerable attention to the architectural detail and design of the proposed building. The intention is for the development to contribute significantly to the neighbourhood’s character.

Yes, 81 existing rental units on site will be replaced in the new building. This was the result of a very successful engagement process with the tenants throughout the process.
