That southernmost building that looks by that render to be remaining is Bar Volo at the corner of Yonge/Dundonald. However, they are moving out and according to the article below the building is being torn down so not sure what that Yonge/Dundonald brick portion will be?

Ain't that a pretty building in the background

Condovo beat me to some pics! We must have almost bumped into each other!

Bye bye birdie... and goodbye bathroom-tile-looking walls!

Note: the Popeyes and OpenMat Mixed Martial Arts gym next door in the nicer-brick building were still open when I passed by around 8:46 PM today.

Yeah, thank you Starlight for making our 60s and 70s apartment towers look so much worse. Why always the two colours stacked on top of each other?

Today, so nice to see this ugly building come down.

I didn't realize this project was far along enough in sales to prompt this initial demolition. There was no buzz surrounding it...

cresford sold 400 units within 12 hours of its launch last fall.

It was the same thing with Vox, it barely registered with most people that it had even opened for sales but yet sold out extremely quickly..

As I said then, Cresford knows how to sell units. I swear they could put up some absolute crap product in a crap location and it would sell out in a week,

How did Cresford get permission to cut down the 2 mature Maple trees on the north edge of the site? Another example of "it's easier to beg for forgiveness that ask for permission"

Trees are a dime a dozen when your giving back section 37 money

You really think all the departments are that desperate to wheel and deals for handouts from billionaire Trump-ian developers? That's not the way it works. That's why you get Toronto Building issuing demolition permits when Toronto Planning is undergoing a heritage impact assessment.

Those trees were small and I'm confident they didn't meet the diameter for Parks to begin to care.

One of them was pretty big. Never really took note of it until I walked past it's stump one morning on my way to work.
