This is the location of the For Your Eyes Only Strip Club.
The owners have confirmed, from the BlogTO story below, that they have sold the property and the club will not be reopening.
As it is very unlikely they sold for a price that would be in-line w/its current use, it seems likely this is being purchased for development.
The site itself is 4 storefronts in length and occupies 557-563 King Street.
It's not very large in its own right, at ~ 500m2/5000ft2
It's also tightly packed against other properties.
Current Appearance here:
Current Interior via BlogTO:
This building and all those to its west for several properties are listed in the City's Heritage register and have current or potential exterior character.
None are designated.
Certainly nothing in the building's interior suggests historical preservation potential to me.
The orange is indicative of a Heritage Conservation District, currently under appeal.
It is likely this property and any to its west, jointly assembled would be required to preserve/restore facades.
The property immediately to the east, with a private lane in between is not listed, and offers a much deeper lot.
We shall see what comes of this.
