Rapid condo development along the Queensway has finally resulted in the formation of the sorts of organizations that make neighbourhoods neighbourhoods.
The first phase of
IQ Condos by the
Remington Group is now under construction at Zorra Street east of Kipling, and phase two has just been approved by council, bringing hundreds of new residents who will start arriving in 2014.
These newbies will join residents of several smaller, loft-style condos that have also been approved for the area, along with several new restaurants, giving the Queensway, located in
Peter Milczyn’s Ward 5, the density needed for a fully functional and enthusiastic BIA, which will be going before the business community in April for a formal vote. This follows the formation of the neighbourhood's first
residents association about a year ago.
