Central Area Design Study

The redevelopment, adjacent to the parkette, would incorporate commercial uses along its Broadway Street frontage, which would include shops, cafes and restaurants. The remainder of the building, including its Oxford Street frontage, could incorporate a seniors residence, which would reduce demand for on-site parking. Alternatively, the adjacent site to the east could be incorporated to provide additional on-site parking. The residence could incorporate common / amenity space along the southern edge of the parkette, with residential uses on upper floors. Building facades would maintain the rhythm and character of existing heritage properties throughout the Central Area. Please refer to Appendix D: Demonstration Sites for larger versions of all demonstration site illustrations.
