This project has been off the radar until Ben's Beer Blog posted that Bar Volo will close after 28 years, by the end of September, and that the 44-storey tower (with 528 residential units and 232 parking spaces) was approved last month.
Bar Volo will be missed. And I lament that new streetfront retail in condos is - with some notable exceptions - incredibly boring and generic. Bar Volo will likely be replaced by a chain pub if any drinking establishment opens here. Yonge Street maybe be tacky, but it's at least interesting, and it's somewhere you can find a place like Bar Volo.

Well, this is pretty depressing...probably time to list the house and pack it in. I was under the impression that the Bar Volo building was to be spared beigeification. Looking forward to the new bastions of torontoculture (BMO/drycleaner/RBC) that will take Volo's place!

Oh. Really? I thought clover was where the shisha place is. I didn't realize it was this spot.
Are we sure about this? Bar volo is at dundonald. I thought this application was for Gloucester?

The Bar Volo building is at the south end of the Clover project, and at least its facade is being saved, not sure how much more.

Not sure if a monolithic glass facade for pretty much the entire Yonge frontage is necessarily all that great given the context. It interrupts the storefront rhythm of the strip and not in a good way.

I like the massing of the tower portion, but yes the street level is pretty sterile as usual.

Tower looks good, I like the 3 amalgamated tower masses. The same glass for a whole block is a little concerning. I suppose it depends on what the retail is.

There are actually 2 buildings here. The white building is its own, higher end condo tower from my understanding.
