​The redevelopment of Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall being proposed by Century Group would consist of four towers up to 24 storeys.

Plans have been submitted for the 43-storey residential building that will complete the four-tower Parkside Square lands master-planned community in North York.

The new plan aims to make housing more affordable by axing the Land Transfer Tax for first-time homebuyers, scrapping development charges on new homes under 3,000 sq. ft, and improving the renting industry.

The penthouse sits atop 21 Dallas Road, right next to Fisherman's Wharf in Victoria.

​The 87-unit rental building at 4026 Quadra Street in Victoria was previously owned by Asfar Holdings Ltd. when it was placed under receivership in March.

Ontario's Landlord and Tenant Board has tripled its adjudicators and cemented a digital-first approach, but it continues to face a massive backlog, igniting calls for change.

Though rents remain well above historic levels, they are on the decline, with November posting a 1.6% drop in prices compared to last year.

The updated plans include an additional 24 storeys and 527 rental apartments, all within walking distance of the Eglinton Subway and planned Eglinton Crosstown LRT stop.

The key policies introduced this year — ranging from new zoning laws to federal housing initiatives — show promise in addressing Toronto's housing crisis and improving its transit options.

The mixed-use development would deliver 620 residential units within walking distance of the Main Street Subway Station and Danforth GO.

It's time to say "Hello" to Ally Ballam, Advisor, Engel & Völkers Vancouver, who focusses on Vancouver, North Vancouver, Tri-Cities, and the Fraser Valley.
