King & Berkeley. Anyone know whats going on with the old Transmission shop?

I believe Brad Lamb acquired this property along with a small connecting frontage of King East. If it is well integrated and doesn't dwarf the heritage theatre to the north I think this could be a great infil project.

Really like that they are stripping the probably 25 coats of paint on the facades of 555/7? King East on the south side between the new condos - I think it will really improve the streetscape in the immediate area.

I wonder if they'll do anything interesting with the parking space out front, or if it'll just remain an ugly surface parking lot. I'm going to assume the latter, but you never know.

Would be an amazing opportunity for a patio like TeAro or Ceili Cottage (both on Queen East)

The Canadian Lung Association building at SW corner of King and St Lawrence is up for sale - they were posting the signs today. Condo, anyone?

King & Berkeley. Anyone know whats going on with the old Transmission shop?

Randomly found a job listing on kijiji for a sales rep at an "indoor/outdoor furniture show room" called "Fiber Living", located at 58 Berkeley Street (the old transmission shop). Too bad it's not going to be something more exciting than another furniture show room.

Has the market/cafe opened yet? Used to peek in to see what would become of this but it did seem to take forever..

Wow, the market/cafe at King & Sackville is taking forever! Here's hoping they get a license and a patio.

Always found the coffee at SG to be very weak - which is unfortunate, because otherwise I would have spent more time there!

Still not open and really showing little sign of opening to me.

Would it depend on how much it is listed for? I assume they could only build up to ten stories there.

This is site just east of the Volvo Dealer at Front/Eastern and Trinity:

I'm assuming this would include Downtown Acura which is currently at Front & Sherbourne? Makes sense considering that parcel is slated for development.

shit sandwich.

Yes, they have a rendering of the uninteresting new building hanging on their front window.

There is now (11 July) a Committee of Adjustment meeting announcement posted on the site saying they want to build a 7 floor building which includes 5 parking levels. It comes up at the Committee's July 20th meeting, the agenda for which is not yet online at http://www.toronto.ca/planning/coa-tey-schedule.htm
