Castlepoint purchased 710,712 and 714 Yonge last month.

Now if they could just get 716 and 718 to fill out the block..

They already have 718. See #65 and

hmm. Wonder what 716 is holding out for, they are clearly trying to assemble the whole thing.

This may be helpful to everyone:

720-728 is the shoppers development, BTW

^^ 79 St. Nicholas as pictured in the above post has now been demolished.

Castlepoint now have the whole block aside from the properties fronting Charles and the Shoppers redev. 716 was sold in December. $4600 per sq ft lot.

And thus they now have an assembly large enough to build a real tower on. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

They're still hampered by OPA 183 - what do you mean by 'real tower'?

 

[UrbanAffair]

Is the OPA applicable to the rear portion along St. Nicholas? My bet would be on something similar to 5 St. Nick's, retaining the heritage at the front.

EDIT: It appears it is applicable to the whole block, in which case scratch what I just said.

They're still hankered by OPA 183 - what do you mean by 'real tower'?

one that has a large enough site to provide proper setbacks. You could probably get something in the 170 metre range even taking into account OPA 183. Probably something similar to Clover on Yonge.

 

[ProjectEnd]

The only setback that might change would be to the north. They already had the properties on St. Nicholas.

Guess they're starting to clear the building out because I've seen a steady stream of moving trucks for the last week or so.
