Manuel Johnson is a lawyer helping Carla White with her case.
The city has granted a condo developer a permit to tear down a building despite the sole remaining tenant there saying she still hasn't settled on compensation for her eviction.
For 11 years, Carla White has lived in a small one-bedroom apartment at the rear of the building which housed the former Da Giovanni restaurant, across the street from Place Émilie Gamelin. Mondev now has the right to demolish the building.The company's original offer to White was $20,000 and another apartment with the same rent she now pays, but when White asked if she could view a different unit than the one it was offering to her, Johnson says the developer went dark.
"We offered her a renovated apartment about two blocks from there at the same price," Owen said. "She wanted a penthouse on the 20th floor with a view to the west and a large terrace." Mondev struggled for years to get the city to approve its development after it purchased the property before the pandemic, but Owen believes the neighbourhood's growing issues helped turn things around. He said once the 16-storey building goes up, the company has plans to develop a second phase of the project on nearby Labelle Street.
