As of this writing, the site is home to a portion of the two-storey Canadian Tire building, a garden centre, and surface parking. The owner’s portion is a northwest section of the area, with frontage along Danforth Avenue. It is about 11,619m² in area and is just east of the four apartments that make up the Main Square complex.

The proposed design by Turner Fleischer Architects for developer CT REIT entails two buildings standing at 115.35m with 33 storeys (Tower A) and 148.25m with 44 storeys (Tower B) containing 905 residential units. They would share a podium of eight to nine storeys. With the existing structures being demolished, the design would result in a new Canadian Tire store, automobile service centre, public park, and new public street running north-south.
