“In the case of Parkdale, it really displaces something beautiful, whether they can see that or not,” he said. Norman Feliks, a Toronto Transit Commission bus operator who drives and lives in Parkdale, is worried the two condo developments proposed for the intersection where he lives will “destroy” his neighbourhood. This week, at a second community meeting, the developer unveiled a new plan. The proposed building at 1221 is now 14-storeys tall, with 292 residential units sitting atop a four-storey podium, while 1182 is now 17-storeys tall, with 408 residential units atop a four-storey podium. Some residents took issue with the number of one-bedroom condos, arguing that it will bring a “transient” community to Parkdale, instead of more families.
