  • Homes24 recorded · typically 84 m² · valued $586,694
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 7 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 19.8 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 12.8 m over 4 floors, as the city counts them. 2 runs of floors have something on record. The city publishes a roof height and a storey count for the lot, and nothing at all about any individual floor. What stands to the south is measured from the city’s own footprints and roof heights; it is a statement about the skyline, not a calculation of sunlight.

What is recorded here

The matched set includes 4 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 2 recorded as completed, 2 approved. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
