Work begins on the new Residences at the RCMI condo which will be located at 426 University Avenue. The front facade of the former The Royal Canadian Military Institute building, as shown by the photograph taken by forum member androiduk, will remain.

The rest of the building, as we can see from Ed007Toronto's photo, will be torn down. The 42 storey condo is being developed by Tribute Communities and is designed by Zeidler Partnership Architects. The interesting thing about this building - no parking spots are being provided other than 9 spots for Autoshare cars. That's a first for a major new project downtown. The 318-unit condominium will have 319 storage spots for bicycles.
