A rezoning and OCP amendment application have been submitted by Benedet Properties for a site at 2331-2335 St. Johns Street for a new 6-storey building including rental apartment units above retail.

The site consists of two lots at the southwest corner of St. Johns Street and Queens Street plus a portion of City land within the Queens Street right-of-way.

facing St. Johns Street is considered to be a “basement”.
