Picking up on a couple of quotes from the Davenport Grade Separation thread:
From the Lobbyist Registry, we seen that McMillan LLP has been retained to lobby on this site, with an eye to MCR zoning.
Decision(s) or issue(s) to be lobbied

Edit to add, that first building seems quite unremarkable today, and as though it would be no great loss.
But noticing than the original entrance is bricked up as are many of the windows, I wonder if the building once had a more charming appearance?
Couldn't easily find any historic photos.
Unless I'm mistaken, there's not really anything else planned to be built next to this stretch of rail corridor other than in the north-east quadrant of the diamond. There's also the commercial building on Wade at the very south end where the tracks are will be barely above current grade.
Likely something eventually coming to the former Skor Cash & Carry on Dupont (next to the new library/apartment building), though I have my doubts it would be a residential highrise. And probably the Nitta Gelatin factory too....but I think the City wants to keep that as employment lands, even leaving an employment buffer between them and the new seniors residence on Lansdowne (Though it seems like even they want to sell cash in to flip for residential construction - https://www.toronto.ca/city-governm...uidelines/official-plan/official-plan-review/ ).
Correct, @vic. Everything on the east side of the Barrie Line is E / Employment right down to Bloor. It's extremely difficult to change this (OPA231) and so few will try. The Skor C&C is also E / Employment and the parcel is too small to do anything with so I doubt we'll be seeing redevelopment there either. The first, tall, redevelopment we'll see will be the Value Village / Kingsett proposal down on Bloor.
