Without changes to local bylaws or the will by CoV council to manage homelessness in a more effective manner, what reason do we have to believe that BHP won't be abused in the same way again in the future?

There is no guarantee. It all hinges on who is in power.

Aryze is planning this new 5 storey strata condo at 544-588 Toronto Street in James Bay. 54 units are planned for this site on the NE corner of Toronto and Parry Sts; most of the units will have underground parking.

That’s just around the way from their Rotunda project: https://victoria.cit...condos/rotunda/

I’m trying to decide what its dominant direction is. The curved corner has a 90s stucco vibe, but the rest is reminiscent of Aragon’s project in the Cook Street Village.

Without even looking at the architect, I’ll take a stab at it. Cascadia?

Seeing as it's an Aryze proposal I assume the approval from the city will be a slam dunk?

That’s not a bad guess! The architect is FaulknerBrowns from Vancouver…

Aryze is planning this new 5 storey strata condo at 544-588 Toronto Street ...

Will this project really run 2 blocks along Toronto Street, both west and east of Powell Street?

I can't see the JBNA letting houses like this (556 Toronto)

or this (588 Toronto)

go without a fight.

[Kapten Kapsell]

Oops,

 

Typo on my part, NParker.  The proposal runs from 544 to 558 Toronto St, not 588.

✔️

I would imagine they’ll be moved.

[Nparker]

These are the existing buildings on the affected properties.

In other Aryze news, they have pulled the plug on their townhouse proposal for Kipling/Fairfield and the development site is now up for sale.

And the racist SFH's win again.

If you're gonna mock us, at least get your info right. That Kipling project was never an Aryze project.

 

Better luck next time

Was I the one who said it was?

[Mike K.]

I had not heard of the Kipling proposal. What were the details?

I misidentified, but I did not mock!  

 

The Kipling project was last revised in May, here's the letter they sent to the city at that time:

Breia Holdings Ltd. proposed this for the Kipling/Fairfield site.

That's missing middle housing.

[Nparker]

Except of course that it's not missing. Check along Shelbourne south of Hillside for many examples.
