‘Modello’

Boffo Developments‘ project at 6225-6255 Cassie Avenue has now gone through the first reading stage of rezoning, and has been referred to a rezoning scheduled for May 28, 2013. The plan is for a 170-unit, 37-storey residential tower above a commercial podium with frontages on Beresford and Willingdon Avenue. The commercial component will include retail, office and a liquor primary establishment.
