What used to be on the corner:

By the 50s it seems to have been cut down to its remaining form (fire?), with the corner rebuilt later:

Good to see no significant heritage losses, but I question the wavy corner podium treatment, which has been already already architecturally done to death.

I think the 'crystal cave' arched design is infinitely more interesting as a design motif for the podium.

How many proposals does KingSett have within a few hundred metres along Yonge now?

How many of those have gone anywhere?

How many of their sites are up for sale?

Lots, none, all.

They do own almost all of the retail on Yonge Street so that world really is their oyster.

Awesome, that stretch looks really rough currently.

Gorgeous but it does seem WAY too nice for Toronto. It's more in line with design standards in Australian cities.

It is indeed way too nice for Toronto.

That's why it will never be built and this is all fantasy land stuff.
