Didn't see the business name here but a good summary of the history.

That’s a neat article. As someone who lives relatively nearby I have mixed feelings…it’s an attractive enough condo project but it would have been nice to save the little buildings fronting Richmond (or at least on the corner). As Westbro said, even at 9 floors this is going to be quite an imposing building given the huge lot size.

I'm also very close to this.

I think those buildings were just too close to the road as time went on. It will be nice to get rid of the blight that these buildings + avenues garage were in the area for the past 6 or so years though. Hopefully this will spur some more development to finally start filling out the zone between Scott and Richmond with mid rises.
