Kind of in a borderline spot between different areas but I'll just place it here for now.

The "Turco-Persian Rug Co Ltd" property at 452 Richmond Street East between Ontario and Berkeley Street, is being listed for sale. Seems like an inevitable redevelopment site.

How am I supposed to comment on these when you're always sneaking them into neighbourhood threads! LOL

Good thing I suspect news when I see an Albert C. post.

So, first, my own version of the aerial pic, based on what I'm seeing above, this appears to encompass 442-464 Richmond Street East.

Does anyone have insight into what's happening at the old Kingsbrae Restaurant on King East near Sumach? It's been shut for about a decade so far as I can remember. Is someone actually resuscitating it as a restaurant, or is this is for a film shoot or condo sales office or something disappointing like that?

I was wondering that myself! It would be great to have a new diner in this part of Corktown, especially since losing Morning Glory.

Well, whoever they are, and whatever they're up to, the City just hit them with a stop work order.........LOL

A sign now says this is becoming the Rosebud Restaurant and Wine Bar.
