They just announced yesterday that they are now "completely sold out" and a new project at a site around the corner from 2 Ossington will be launched soon.

Finally! Whew.
Wonder if the new project is where that trendy hair salon is located?--just north of Queen, west side, with the 3 split levels.

Bah, I was hoping this would fail.

"Completely sold out"? So where's the demo/construction crew?

Just reading YongeStreet right now and noticed an article from 5th May 2010 stating that "Permits are expected this week for demolition to begin at 2 Ossington, the future site of SMV Architects' two-storey retail and condo building on the northwest corner of Queen and Ossington."
Good news, except is the article really accurate when it says it's only 2 stories with only 5 units?

Coiuld also be another of those differences of opinion. Some people include the sub floors in loft apartments while others don't.

Meh. Would have been better to have turned it into a boutique hotel.

Aren't the boutique hotels on Queen West major money losers though?

Ya, the queen side of the existing building has the feel of a boarded up english tavern. Could have been charming but that building must have been in horrible shape the way it was treated for the last few decades. Not that I would accept that excuse if this was listed. I originally thought this was a loss but now have come around on the new design.

Cheaper to demolish it and build new, It was an old derelict crappy building anyways...i guess not everything is heritage.

What the hell happened here yesterday? There was like a major collapse of the boarded poles from the sidewalk(part of the destruction process) and Cops and City TV were there with their cameras. Apparently no one got hurt (thankfully) but I walk under that sidewalk barrier practically everyday, and I would be slightly peeved if it landed on me.
