It looks like this site may change down the line. I wonder what the zoning is here. It's commercial use now and I really doubt the city would change that. I also would expect UofT might be quite interested in the land too.
Tower in the park design aside, I'd rather not see this move. The synergies of the location between patient care and research here are important.
From the CBC:
"A massive rent increase at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health's College Street facility could put the hospital's future on the street in jeopardy.
CAMH says it is locked in a dispute with the landowner, Brookfield Asset Management, over the rent hike.
City councillor Joe Cressy accuses Brookfield of "bully tactics" that could jeopardize the hospital's future on College Street.
"Brookfield … is trying to force out a mental health hospital to make way for condos," Cressy said."
