Seriously?? Now that they're surrounded by towers, NOW they choose to sell, when they had ample opportunity before? Hilariously dumb.

I understand that the 65 King folk tried hard to buy that lot so it really is very stupid!

I like having oddball buildings like this amongst modern towers to be totally honest. Hopefully, it can be repurposed as something useful to the area.

I could not agree more BUT they have put it up for sale as a 'development site' so they obviously hope to get $$$$$$ for it. Their problem is that they have likely missed the boat as the site is very small and totally surrounded by 65 King and streets. They would have been better to accept the offers they were apparently made to them by the 65 KIng developers!

This could be turned into a very cool, very urban, private residence for someone with a lot of money to burn.

Just heard from my contact @ St James Cathedral that the heritage lighting is now on every night. They are still doing some minor adjustments and a couple of flickering fixtures need to be changed but .... It really does look spectacular!

Or a nice high-end restaurant. Maybe a steakhouse or something like that!

The oft-delayed Wellington Street streetscape project, covering the Church to Yonge segment is apparently tendered with an eye to Spring of 2021.
Given all the delays, no surprise, there was a budget shortfall; and the Councillor was asked to find the money through section 37 agreements in her ward.
That has been done, and as result we have this motion going to the Oct 27th meeting of Council to release said funds:

To expand, the project tender call closed on 5 October. No word yet on who it will be awarded to. The City hopes to award it 'in 5 or 6 weeks" with work starting ASAP in the 2021 'season" (probably April 1). The use of Section 37 $ was always envisioned for this project as it will have features above the standard. Until it was tendered there was no point in committing them to this project which is why it is happening now. If the bids exceed the $$ there are two possibilities, more Section 37 $$ or the dreaded cheapening (or maybe more City $$).
