Oh ... and the secondary plan includes this property in a corridor of gradual change. The existing land use designation would allow for considerable intensification, but the heights permitted are either 2-4 storeys or 3-5 (i can't remember off hand).

Beyond creating more units and maintaining the public housing units, it would be nice if a revitalization/redevelopment/intensification of the complex were to take place if it restored along the James fronting part of the property some retail/commercial at grade. Some old North Enders still lament the loss of street retail during the renewal era. The Jamesville complex, by the way, was the site of a large Cotton mill before it was renewed in the late-1960s.
