During last night's State of the City address the Mayor announced the location of the new fire station (#8) which they've been thinking of for a couple of years now.
It's located at 450/470 King St E, which is the King and Madison corner. 470 is the old B & T before it moved across the street and then 450 is the building containing the Sushi Stars restaurant and an auto shop.
It's planned on including the fire station as well as at least 150 affordable housing units. These units will be a mix of 1-3 bdrm units.
They haven't started any design work yet so there's very little information beyond this. The property is zoned SGA 2 in Growing Together which would allow for a midrise development up to 8 floors however with Growing Together not approved yet it's still on 85-1 which would allow for a building with a max FSR of 4.0 and a height of 24m (roughly 8 floors with 3m floor heights).
