When did they build this one.
Mimico residents are stunned to see the beginnings of a nine storey condo that will include 60 units being built at 230 Royal York Road, at the north-east corner of Drummond Street.
The condo is on the site of a former rooming house that was demolished last October.
The developers said the units will be a mixture of one and two bedroom suites.
“The new condos will be perfectly situated relative to all that the Mimico area of Etobicoke has on offer, most notably a GO station and easy access to the Lake Ontario shoreline,” according to Halsa Sales promotion.
The builders said the condos will be close to Sobeys, Metro and No Frills.
The company Leader Lanes have begun building and by June they will be conducting interior finishes.
City officials said there will be traffic disruptions in the area when there is heavy lifting or cement pouring activities taking place.
At certain times the lanes will be reduced and a police officer brought to monitor traffic.
That area is busy with a No Frills and Royal York Road traffic.
Just up the street is a planned 12-storey 113-unit rental building that has been proposed and before community council.
