One of which will be demolished while the remaining two will be maintained and retrofitted with a new exterior and mechanical systems providing nearly 300,000 sq.ft. of commercial space as part of the redevelopment of the underutilized lands into a mixed-used community.

Amenities on the 12-acre site will feature retail space, restaurants and a daycare. In addition, 65% of all ground floor space (75,600sqft) will be retail/commercial, creating a vibrant mixed-use community within 100m of Leslie subway station.
