I had thought that back at Wonderful Waterloo something was posted about this including retail, and maybe even trying to accommodate the existing retail tenants at the site.
It would be extremely disappointing to see this part of King lose retail space, however marginal some people might consider it to be. I can't recall what stage they're at in terms of getting the variances, but I would hope that the municipal government would be disinclined to approve the variances since this is not the type of development that should be promoted on this stretch. I like the scale, think the form looks interesting judging by that render, but feel strongly that commercial should be part of any development on this stretch of King.
