Commerical to Residential Conversions

Opening of the former office building at Richmond and Mill into residential with hints of additional projects in the future by the "Landlord".

Well its a start with regards to the landlord, lets hope he continues to do this. These types of conversions are great as many of these older office buildings are not set up well for new business' to even occupy the space.
At that point you may as well convert to residential or knock it down for a bigger development in potentially prime location.

When money is being handed out, he is first in line.

Mentions the failed attempt at Richmond and Dundas happening again. Wonder which of the many other empty buildings are on his list?


Wright building, Scotts building, Market Tower, RBC building?

This is true, and while that stinks...if it gets something built it might be the only way to push them along.
