Looks like this 70’s era office tower at Dundas and Chestnut is getting a cheap facelift - it’s being painted a slightly glossy gunmetal grey:
I hate that garage with a passion and would love to see it replaced with something like this concept. Hopefully someday...Back in 2017, Crown Properties, had engaged Smart Density to come up with a potential redevelopment concept for that parking garage along Dundas. Not sure if it's still something along the future horizon, but here's what they came up with:

It's great to see this new project proposed, but they're tearing the 1 building down. 72 stories is a great height, and there are 2 of them. Wow!A new app into the AIC for this site for two 72s towers.
Note that this is the same block as 180 Dundas West, but the office tower w/that address is proposed to remain.

It's great to see this new project proposed, and they're not tearing any buildings down. 72 stories is a great height, and there are 2 of them. Wow!
Btw, ParK? Comedy Gold!![]()
Thanks. I fixed my post.123 Edward Street will come down, and it’s a nearly fully leased medical office building.
I’m not impressed by this one, even if it means the redevelopment of the oppressive parking garage at Dundas and Centre.
