By the renders, it appears none of that brick is being integrated into the new development which is too bad.

 

[ProjectEnd]

There is brick in the proposed building but it will not be reused from the existing structure, if that's what you're asking.

There is no way that gas station will be there for too long

It would have been nice to see the brick face maintained here.
The King-Spadina HCD lists this property as a Contributing Property as well, so I'm surprised to see it being demo'd.

Agreed, we will likely see an application here in the near future.
Aside from the Environmental issues, separation distances to 57 Spadina and shadow concerns to the east, this site has great potential.

I think those are all good reasons for why this property may not redevelop in the near future. Also I've heard, can't remember where, that these twin gas stations on either side of Spadina are two of the highest grossing (per pump, presumably?) in the City due to their prime on/off-Gardiner location.

And considering how few stations there are downtown I can't see any reason they'd want to move.

I would think the potential is quite limited by exactly those issues -- it's not a very big site to begin with, and tower separation from 57 is going to be a pronounced limitation given the tower's placement on the 57 site.

Fair point....I didn't realize how small the floor area was. Tower separation is likely to be around 25m, leaving minimal room for development.

Pretty ho hum (It's D+S after all) but the warm brick colour is welcome.

All the renders show a 150m -ish building on the LCBO spot. I remember there being a proposal there but can't recall what happened with it...

 

[innsertnamehere]

There was an OMB approval for a tower in the 140m range a year or so ago. Radio silence since.

according to NRU, this has reached a settlement with the city. Height has been reduced to 44 floors and 145m. Section 37 goes towards the YMCA on Brant Street.
