lofts at Medland and Annette, more gentrification, more development

the Victoria Presbyterian church is being transformed into lofts at the corner of Medland and Annette, here is the link their website at Victoria Lofts. They had their sales office opening a few weeks ago.

The website refers to he neighbourhood as being High Park, not upper High Park or Junction but High Park, I guess the marketing team at Brad J. Lamb apparently still doesnt consider it market-ready for its traget gentrified client base to call it The Junction which is where it is technically... its just a matter of time folks

new condo projects in the Junction

Just a little over a year ago, the building at 2789 Dundas St which housed the landmark McBride Cycle business became vacant when the McBrides went under bankruptcy protection. Since then, the building had been vacant and just this past spring, it was demolished and there are rumours of a 74-unit condo go up.

here is the link for more info

Councillor Gord Perks broke the news back in Feb of 2007 on this link


Currently there are no signs on the site indicating an application or re-zoning or anything like that. It will be interesting to see what the NIMBY folks think about this..
