This project took a particularly long time to complete - screenshots from Google StreetView:

Good to see it almost done, it's a nice little addition to the streetscape.

Indeed. The previous decrepit state was quite an eyesore for many years. Now if only something can be done with the building at College and Roxton which is still going through a similar situation.
 
Well, that took long enough. It was one seriously barren-looking building for the longest time. Not terribly impressed with the makeover but at least something's finally been done!
 
It could use an extra floor, but I like these sorts of projects that are closer to the traditional rhythm of facades along Bloor Street. I hate seeing yet another sterile wall of glass that spans the equivalent of 5-15 traditional storefronts, depending on the project.
