My entire time in Toronto has been spent living 5 minutes from this church, and I admit when I first saw the board outside I did recoil at the idea of plonking apartments on it.
But then I thought about how churches have always provided housing in times of need.

This 139-year-old Toronto church could be turned into a skyscraper
The building will tower above a Cabbagetown church and include more than 100 units of affordable housing

Great article on single stair buildings and my Toronto sixplex.
With multiplexes now as-of-right, single stair solutions offer huge potential for simple, high quality, livable, replicable buildings within neighbourhoods.
I hope many others will be encouraged to pursue this potential.
