Demolition starting on the Donut shop.

wonder what the cost will be to clean up that brownfield site?

With oil the price it is, I wouldn't be surprised if that contaminated profit turned a profit.

I'm calling this project Donut Condos. Suites include Maple Glazed, Boston Creme, Chocolate Glazed, Honey dipped and more....

Don't forget the Hawaiian penthouse!

Talk to the developer. Not all finishes and upgrades are included. Sprinkles are extra.

Crap. My South view from 500 Sherbourne could be ruined. I plan to go full NIMBY to keep this thing shortish.

I can only hope that the new development will respect the heights of the other 3 buildings at that corner and won't stick out like a sore thumb. A decent LCBO is much needed in this area.

That's what might happen. Kilmer through their" brownfield operation" will clean up the site, has it re-zoned and then sell it for higher development with a nice profit.

This is great news. Would like to see a 20-25s tower here.

There's an LCBO on Parliament Street south of Wellesley, a hop & a skip away.

The LCBO South of Winchester (not South of Wellesley) is kind of pathetic with a very limited selection of everything. The people who bought into all the new condos on Sherbourne and Wellesley (Verve) are well off and used to a better selection of wines and spirits. I would like to not have to shop at the LCBO on Lakeshore Blvd or in Rosedale.

Winchester is two streets south of Wellesley, I just confirmed it on Google Maps. I've never been in that store, only been by it so I didn't know it sucked.

The gas station and donut shop are now gone and they are in the process of removing the underground tanks. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this was the last free-standing donut shop downtown.
