485 KING ST W
Ward 20 - Tor & E.York District

Existing three storey, light industrial/warehouse, which is currently vacant. The proposal is to renovate the building back to its original exterior features and include 3 new floors of leasable area for multiple tenants along with a rooftop patio for retail and office use.

This is right by Westbank's/Allied's Bjarke Ingels development.

Here's what it looks like now. But according to the rendering, it appears as if the vehicular laneway will be converted to a pedestrian zone.

I have been wondering for a long time when this building was going to get renovated. Seems very valuable (if small) given the area.

They've been doing work on the building for a few months now -- not a whole lot visible on the exterior yet, but hopefully soon. It'll make a great addition to the warehouse district.

I thought this thread was supposed to be " High and Mid-rise". Why is a 3 story project in this thread?

 

[innsertnamehere]

only street accessed residential projects are in the lowrise section. If it is not residential, or has an internal hallway access system to access the units, the building qualifies as a "highrise" for the purposes of the forum.

Police reporting a roof collapse at King and Spadina -- based on the police car at the curb, guessing it's 485 King?

Scaffolding is coming down. Looking sharp.

Valdez is moving in, as per their website. I've never been before, but having BBQ on this rooftop would be excellent come summertime.

That's perfect for them. Glad that they won't be disappearing when their building comes down.
