New land use proposal on 10th Street where the Oak Tree Tavern used to be.
It's calling for up to 12 stories on essentially two lots. Could be interesting.

The space where the Oak Tree Tavern used to be hasn't seemed to lease we'll ever since they closed so I wouldn't be surprised if that's why the lot was presumably sold. I used to adore that patio above the laneway.

On a nother note, it's sad to see a lot of the older buildings in Kensington get redeveloped. I'm worried that if too many of the older buildings on 10th get knocked down a lot of what gives Kensington character will go with them. Personally I'd like to see most of the redevelopment pressure on 10a, the west side of 10th or Kensington Road, but let's try and leave as many of those buildings on the east side alone going forward.

I don’t think the lot has been sold, it’s the same Quantum Place application on behalf of Terrigno. Most likely nothing comes of it after the upzoning.
 
the old house has been moved back

in other news there is a plaza under construction

What a stupid plaza. Who designed this shit? Those poles are useless, unless they are designed to block wind from the barren wasteland of a plaza.
 
Sounds like it was an issue of funding blocks. The latest update on the project website is from January of this year and says "Now that we have received funding for the next phase of construction, we are aiming to have all construction on the Eau Claire Plaza completed in 2025. In the meantime, the Plaza must remain closed to the public to ensure safety and efficiency with construction delivery."

It looks like the most interesting components of the plaza design have still yet to be built. In the picture posted previously you can see the two walkways taking shape that lead to the splash area and the urban beach.
