Summary

Amongst all of the intensification and redevelopment occurring along the Sheppard East subway corridor, rests an original and unique piece of North York history. The continuous building at 75 Talara Drive and 11 Dervock Crescent is well known for its distinct shape and style. It is now one of the few examples of low-rise "Missing Middle" accommodation in the area. In recognition of this landmark rental property, I am seeking an expert opinion and request that staff evaluate it in order to preserve the existing property as a potential heritage resource.
