@kindred.works is hosting a drop-in session on the future of the southeast corner of Carlton & Sherbourne (currently Saint Luke’s United Church). Stop by anytime to review plans, ask questions, and share feedback with the project team.
🗓 Mon, Jan 5, 2026
Wellesley Community Centre (495 Sherbourne St)
6:30–8:30 PM (drop-in)
At a glance: proposed 48-storey mixed-use tower; retention of the on-site heritage building; ~440 rental units; ~1,453 m² community space (incl. event hall); and public realm improvements along Sherbourne.
No formal presentations and no decisions will be made at this open house. A future public meeting will be coordinated by the City of Toronto at Toronto East York Community Council.

Behold, the "Miracle" of a non-graffitied SIGN...

Maybe because it's attached to a church?

I hate that people oppose everything.

This is fantastic. No shadows on the park. Lots of affordable units. More people get to enjoy a view of this beautiful urban green space.
Agreed. There needs to be a balance between preservation and growth/evolution, and some folks just don't like change.

Excellent video on the subject, by About Here, from Vancouver:

It's annoying because Torontonians have demonstrated their unwillingness to maintain the city's heritage fabric on their own. Swathes of neglected and poorly altered historic buildings that only get the restoration they need with densification projects like this. How can they say these projects impact the historic character when they do nothing to maintain these buildings in the first place?

Thanks! Just for me I want to ask if the heritage interior elements of the sanctuary are being saved for reuse in the rebuilt space? Also, what are people’s feelings about the (stunning) two-storey amenity room above the podium? This is a welcome idea and would provide views over the park. Another possible event/arts venue? How high is this space as from the scale of the rendering folk it is 3-4s?!
