I had heard that it was getting a slight haircut and would be 20-23... but perhaps this has changed.

This looks very nice. The update is also reassuring. I was really wondering whether this would go ahead, given the state of the site and that nothing happened for quite a while, but sometimes good things do come to those who wait.

For what it's worth, the website says "The development contemplates a 24-storey rental apartment building on a 24,000 SF site with retail on the ground floor". Is the website wrong?

Have they decided to pass on their western diversification and double down on the GTA?

From what I have heard, it has to do with financing

It would sure be lovely if yet another developer demolishes the existing buildings and then decides to skip town.

I also have not seen any new permits come in for this, but who knows?

Sounds like this might be the issue.

Explain like I'm five please - Why doesn't policy prevent active retail from being torn down prior to a project being put on ice like this?
This is very frustrating...

It certainly is frustrating and I have a lot of thoughts on that myself, but it just seems incredibly difficult to legislate anything like that. Just too many moving pieces to have some sort of legislation that incurs a penalty or impedes development should there be no guarantee of project construction commencing after demolition of existing structure.
