Awesome news! Butt ugly mini plazas like that have no place in the urban environment.

Why is that coffee shop "infamous" by the way?

I think there is also something planned for the other mini-plaza at the SW corner of Queen and Dufferin?

Apparently the owner of Il Gatto Nero on College St. will be opening a restaruant in this building.

Baywood Homes will be constructing a "Flatiron" building on the site directly south of The Gladstone Hotel to replace the infamous Country Site coffee shop.

The proposal was rejected by the planning department for being too tall (10 floors I think). They want it to match the 8 floors approved for the Bohemian Embassy. It's going to the OMB I belive.

I guess you are referring to this ?

1181 Queen St W (Queen West Triangle, Baywood, 10s)

If so ... I think the zoning matters have been approved by the OMB for 10s mixed use building, and Baywood have since submitted Site Plan Approval application (the next step) in October 2008 to push this project forward

Hmm...cringe-worthy name aside, I have to say I am rather excited about this project. There are *very* few examples in Toronto of mid-rise developments underway on old main streets, and when developers propose them people often scream bloody murder. I think BoEm (eeeeeccchhh!) and its pending sisters could demonstrate that, to the extent sites ripe for intensification exist (ie, strip malls, gas stations, parking lots and so on) there's nothing wrong with going several stories above the 3-4 norm.

Most of the site is starting to hit this level:

From Parkdale this should make an impact on the skyline within a year:
