"last look" may be a bit premature - demolition definitely won't get underway before the end of the year.

I believe they already filed for a demolition permit..

Perhaps, but I know the RBC branch is open until the end of the year.

The RBC seemed to be open today when I walked past it.

Does anyone know what the height will be now? Before it was 66 stories and 651ft. How can a 66 story building be under 200m?????

66 floors of 9 foot ceiling heights is 594 feet (181 meters), and considering that is the standard condo height, it seems to check out. I am not sure what the final height is. Will look into it.

I guess this is the replacement for the existing RBC at 460 Yonge. Only half a block away.

Project: Bank Interior Alterations

Description: Proposal for interior alterations on the first floor and basement, "Royal Bank of Canada"

 

[College Park]

A bit unusual for a bank to occupy a non-corner space. I'm glad this spruced-up Yonge building is getting a stable tenant - the Enerhealth tenant seems to have vacated.

 

[chriskayTO]

I thought this was the former Telus site?

At any rate, this may not be a permanent move - it may only be until YC is completed and the bank can return.

Looks like this building will be the first Canadian condo to use Samsung's smart home technology.

I see an RBC Coming Soon sign on the Yonge facing retail of the 5ive St. Joseph site. It's only a few blocks up. Any chance that it's timed so that when they leave Y&C, they move to Y&StJ?
