Sounds like TODAY was the day this place, Autograph's, Ian's tower and some others had their zoning pleas heard.....anyone hear anything?

This is likely to allow the owner to apply for grants to help with the restoration of the facade. It does not mean the entire building will be preserved, could just be the facade as part of a new development. The building is concrete so may be harder to do that in this case.

I believe it's just the exterior facade (west, south and east) that will be retained, rehabilitated, and incorporated into the new development.

What about just at least SOME thought lol. Would already be an improvement. I didn’t grab a photo because I just saw it from the uber on my way out of town, but here is a gorgeous new one in Toronto. These mid rises make for such a nicer neighbourhood feel. The super tall ones are impressive to see but just don’t make sense in so many ways. The google street view is a bit old so it’s still under construction, but finished, wow, it looks good.

Agree with the mid rise comment but Toronto can keep that piled up eye sore. Archited called it Trumpism and it's a fitting description. Trump plastered the walls of the Oval Office in 1980's fake gold medallions from Home Depot and that building is more pretentious glamour that will not pass the test of time.

I, for once, am happy with wooden 6 stories if they are well done, but with this number of units, we're probably looking at something slightly taller, unless they're only building studios.

Yup. Nothing wrong with 6 stories, it's a matter of the design. Big difference between a typical suburb build and a stuff like Stadium Yards or some of the great smaller stuff you see in other cities. Fingers crossed, I guess...
