The Teeple design was interesting and different. But this podium looks promising. Looks like it would fit in well with the historic warehouses.
There's an LCBO right up the street. I guess the one at King and Spadina will be moving eventually.
Who says this is starting soon? They haven't even filed for SPA have they?Can't wait for the LCBO to vacate so that this project can finally start!
I was not aware of anyone saying this would be starting soon either.
Irrespective of what the thread title says, this site has been owned by Great Gulf for a while. (Mods - maybe its time for the title to be updated?). At a meeting last night, when asked about this site, the Great Gulf representatives present: 1. Confirmed Great Gulf owned the site. 2. Were not specifically aware of the LCBO planning to move in the mid-July timeframe. 3. If the LCBO actually relinquishes the site back to Great Gulf (which is not an automatic given - the LCBO could redeploy the site for other purposes, a specialty boutique for example), they were not aware of any specific plans Great Gulf would have for an interim use (e.g. a Pop-Up store), and 4. Great Gulf did not have any firm, immediate or short term plans to start construction.
The one thing that was confirmed, construction work on 401 - 415 King would not be dependent or contingent on any specific degree of completion of work the adjacent project at 57 Spadina (The Taylor), but could be done concurrently with work on the Taylor.
