City Council approved the rezoning of the site from B3-2 to B3-3 back in June 2021, giving the green light for the development to move forward. Wrecking contractor Bridges Excavating Inc is ready to begin the demolition process now that the permits have been issued. Permits for the new construction have been filed and are waiting to be approved.

How can they give the building the 1138 Belmont address when the apartment front door is on the side street? Yes, the retail could use that but should probably have the 1142 as it opens on the corner. Addresses on maps have a purpose!
Yawnfest, but I do like that they threw in a cornice on the facade. Also, woo! Density!
Could be just a tad taller to help shade in this corner but yay for cornices! Not bad overall
Yup. Nothing wrong with a couple more stories than the average height!
Great to see the density of housing increasing in this area of the city, one great one. Watch out for SNS Realty Group although… Their known in city as a “cut-rate” builder, go ahead and search legal records regarding them.
