The project's ground floor retail space is situated primarily on the ground floor, with a portion on the second floor at the west side of the building.
The exterior design will be largely the same as what was approved in the Development Permit...
I realize that. It was just wishful thinking on my part.

The 800-block of Fort Street, known for generations as Antique Row for its collection of antique, used furniture and vintage houseware retailers, will undergo significant change in the coming years as multiple mixed-use development efforts aim to revive the business opportunities along the commercial corridor.

So is construction still expected to start in early 2021?
Aaaaaaaand they're back.
Application submitted to amend the issued DP. Commercial area reduced slightly (a mezzanine), and replaced with two addtional residential units (1BR and 2BR).
This would bring the unit count up to 105. As such, the parking shortfall is also increased, which requires Council to issue a revised parking variance as staff do not have the authority to do so.
A development permit variance application is going to CotW on Thursday May 6. The developer would like to convert the 2nd floor commercial space to rental units, which will increase unit counts to 105 (from 103) and triggers the parking variance. Staff are in favour of this change.
