Okay the building isn't going to be called Wally's Burgers (at least I hope not). At least this way more people will know where it's located. This will probably be the first project to go ahead since the approval of the Norquay village plan.
There are a couple more 12 story towers envisioned as well as the major projects expected (2400 Motel site 16flr,14flrs and 12flr buildings), (Purdy's Chocolate site 14flr building), (Canadian Tire site 14Flr building). Some will happen sooner, others may not. The Eldorado at 22storys was approved before the plan was enacted and is already under construction.
Anyways onto the details of this proposal.
Quote:
Rezoning Application - 2699 Kingsway (2667, 2679 & 2703 Kingsway)
The proposal is to develop this site with a mixed-use project comprised of two buildings separated by a pedestrian walkway, with a 12-storey component and a 5-storey component, both with commercial uses at grade and residential use on the upper storeys. A total of 129 dwelling units are proposed. Five levels of underground parking are proposed. Floor space ratio would be 3.8 (103,132 sq. ft.). Height of the 12-storey component would be 118 ft.

The separation between the buildings will become part of the Still Creek linear park which will connect from Norquay Park thru to the Renfrew Ravine at some point in the future.
