Looks great. Reminds me of The Village on Dieppe Blvd.
On page 9 of the PDF, it says:
BULDINGS C
Below is a concept rendering of The Junction-Urban Village looking southeast along Vaughan Harvey at the existing intersection across from Shoppers Drug Mart. Westmount Developments is currently advancing a project to develop this building as a ground level retail and upper level multi-residential building as a first phase for the development of the site,
with a target start in early 2015.
I hate to say it (RyeJay's gone so someone has to do it), but call me skeptical on that aggressive date. The office space vacancy rate is just as bad as the rental vacancy rate.

On a related note, the area previously reserved for a second building at 25 Dominion St has been converted into a parking lot. I suspect this is meant as a "temporary" measure until the rental vacancy rate improves, but that could easily last at least 5 years.
