The site has a rezoning application to permit multi-unit development so I am pretty confident the building is coming down, unfortunately.

That is really to bad, this area is one of the few remaining with a number of historic houses intact in an area.

If something like this has to be torn down there really should be stringent rules for such areas that whatever is built match the character of the surrounding buildings.

I guess that settles it. I was thinking it could be a situation where something is called a 'demolition' even though the building isn't going to be demolished, as with the McKenney.

Leston posting that they have acquired 2 out of the 3 houses across from the David Thompson Towers. 111 St and 97 Ave

Their post says "Should redevelopment be considered in the future, we remain committed to thoughtful planning that respects our neighbours and preserves the character of the River Valley." Which doesn't sound like it bodes well for those houses beyond the short term.

I wonder if they will pick up that forever proposed and never built site beside it to the north?

Also, can we PLEASE get a new cafe/restaurant in the old spot on in the house on the end?
