Although planning materials from Republic have never explicitly called for the demolition of The Anndore, Vice President of Development for Republic Ken Wilcox tells STOREYS that this is indeed the plan if the proposal gets the City's approval. Even so, Wilcox shares that there are no “imminent” plans to redevelop until market conditions improve. “However, the site is in an incredibly desirable location and it is only a matter of time before [it's] redeveloped for its highest and best use,” he adds.

“The location is tremendous,” Wilcox goes on to say, when asked what drew Republic to the particular addresses. “The site is steps from Yonge Street, and less than a five-minute walk from Yonge-Bloor Station. It’s also directly between two of the city’s most exciting neighbourhoods, Yorkville and the Village, and is walking distance to both the University of Toronto and Toronto Metropolitan University.”
