Toronto 689 King Street West | 62.02m | 18s | Manga | Sweeny &Co

The website has been taken down, as well as the billboard on site a while ago and is now a surface parking lot. So it doesn't look like the developer, which I believe was Main & Main, is going through with developing this into a 3-storey restaurant/retail building.
This property would be great combined with Hines' recent development proposal on 64-86 Bathurst St. Even better, they could also acquire the 3-storey commercial building next door (675-679 King St. W.) as well.

Main and Main has sold this to Timbercreek.

Nice to see new office outside of the core.

 

[Midtown Urbanist]

I still would consider this as "core".

It is just outside the TOCore boundary even.

tl;dr

City to developer: lol no.

 

[achender]

Seems to be getting underway.
Some confused drivers pulling up wondering who took their free parking spot away.

 

[ProjectEnd]

Odd. It's not getting underway, but why they would close the income-producing parking lot is beyond me...

 

[achender]

Hmm, staging area for 64 - 86 Bathurst, perhaps?

 

[ProjectEnd]

Also not-yet-approved and not in sales.

Sales?....13 Storey Non-Residential building

Looks like it could also be parking lot shut down by the city as they do not have a hard surface, lines, lighting etc.

Cost justification between compliance and monthly revenue...
