An 11-unit townhouse development is being proposed for 624 and 628 Manchester Road.  I believe this is a rental proposal (which is sometime unique in the city as I can't recall many townhouse proposals that are exclusively rental); there are 7 3-bedroom townhouses, 2 4-bedroom townhouses, and 2 2-bedroom townhouses.

BTW, I call this project "Rachel's Arms" to continue the "Friends" vibe from "Ross Terrace"

The Roxy Theatre and adjacent Salvation Army building are both for sale with Colliers (offers will be reviewed together). This could offer a major redevelopment opportunity in Quadra Village : https://www.timescol...ce-debt-4770306

Perfect for some more non profit …
