Who needs a parking garage this close to Yonge and Bloor?

From a couple months ago, but @jmacmillan mentioned in the Bloor Yorkville neighbourhood thread that there was a drilling rig (soil sampler?) present at this site at that time.

The Brass Rail strip club near Yonge & Bloor has applied to increase the amount of signage outside their club. Google street view pic.

Can confirm they have been actively drilling and sampling over the past few days.

Looks like lots of soil sample barrels:

It won't happen (I don't imagine); but I always felt the The Reference Library should expand further into this site; (pre-Covid the Library could be very busy at times.); and then create a slightly larger public space beyond the building; allowing for some windows as part of the Library expansion, and a space that feels more animated than a narrow back passage.

It could look sharp if the cladding is handled well...if not, well, let's not talk about that. Strong reinforcement of the curved street wall is laudable.

Something different not bad! The facade has that stain glass effect look with different coloured windows zigzaging up and down the building etc! As seen in the photos up above!

^ clearly this aerial render is more than a "look at how short our building is" approval strategy... I'm betting they are aiming for more height 'cause "look how short..."
Does anyone know the developer for this? Thought I glimpsed Greywood somewhere but my lazy search turned up nothing.
Like many others, I’m a big fan of projects that incorporate a mixed colour palette of glass/cladding… when executed well.
820 Church reminds me a little bit of IBI’s The Perry Condos which turned out nice despite fairly muted colours.

Well that is a laughably small site. Barely enough to park a few cars. I love it.
