The Shannondale (née Electrohome, 152 Shanley St) | 8 fl | U/C

'Contaminated' in what way(s) exactly? They are building up condos up and around there (referring to behind Pharmacy building). People live and work close - same w/ the Electrohome factory, being that it is in a residential area. Is this too contaminated?

Here's a link to the environmental assessment:

...apparently, there's a "toxic plume" underground as a result of chemicals being disposed of via dumping in an open pit in the floor (Volatile Organic Compounds (primarily TCE), petroleum petroleum hydrocarbons hydrocarbons (e.g. toluene, toluene, ethylbenzene ethylbenzene), Metals (selenium, sodium))

My bet is that nothing happens here until some level of government steps up and helps with remediation -- I live around the corner from the Mansion St lofts - at 6 stories they are a great fit with the neighbourhood - something similar here would be perfect!
