This is for the northeast corner of Bloor West & Delaware where "The Rooster", a former local favourite spot for rotisserie chicken, used to be before they suffered fire damage.

It's a fairly well travelled corner as Delaware also leads into the secondary entrance for Ossington station. There's also a couple other businesses in those retail spaces along Delaware including Bakerbots Baking.

This stretch of Bloor West does have some cases of extremely slow moving derelict properties though, as seen with 918 Bloor W (one block east), and 895 Bloor W (on the southside of the street, closer to Ossington). So hopefully this project can be done within a decade or so.

The boarded up corner building has become increasingly decrepit

Hopefully, this gets started soon. There's a lot of surprisingly abandoned buildings on major streets in Toronto.

Yes, Bloor West has a fair share of them abandoned and underutilized. There's another one block east on the NE corner of Bloor & Concord, one on the southside of Bloor close to Ossington, and one on the SW corner of Bloor & Grace.
