A 25,000 SF C-2 zoned property in Mount Pleasant has sold for $26,500,000, or $424 per buildable SF. 398 Kingsway is prominently located at the Southwest corner of Kingsway and East 12th Avenue. The site is irregular in shape and the C-2 zoning allows outright development for four storeys, 2.50 FSR. It is not known if the intent is to develop under the existing zoning, or to rezone.
