Interested to see what is being proposed here. It's a pretty substantial parcel of land to work with overall.

I also saw a couple signs on the fence in front of the 1004-1006 College property, which is currently an abandoned building just west of Bairrada Churrasqueira. I was out jogging so I didn't have my phone to capture the names/listings on the signs but it hinted at an upcoming redevelopment as well.
 
Here are the public meeting details for next week:

Update:
On the south side of College Street, the long-standing Azores Auto Group car dealership could be making way for a new development by the Clifton Blake Group. Submitted to the City of Toronto on July 13th, a rezoning and Site Plan Approval (SPA) application outlines plans for an 8-storey mixed-use building, featuring a combination of street-level retail, residential condominiums, rental apartments, and rental replacement suites.
 
383 Sorauren is turning out to be quite an influential design...

Yes, nice to see the trend of chamfered solid walls here in Toronto. A nice departure from the cliché of staggered mullions and random spandrel panelled window walls. I really like how the shadows play off of it.

The recessed retail storefronts are a bit oppressive especially with the heavy solid forms above. I like the variation of brick for each volume, but it would better if the colour/shade were a little more distinctive from each other.
