About a week ago, we told you about three new homes currently under construction near the East Kensington corner of York & Amber. Today, we wonder about Dauphin & Amber, a mere block away.

Since AVI numbers were released last week, we've speculated that assessors never actually visited any properties, and we lamented the fact that the OPA has severely undervalued land across the entire city.
