Toronto 1425 Bloor West | 71.5m | 20s | KingSett Capital | BDP Quadrangle

The old houses at 1431-1437 Bloor St. W. at Perth Ave (SE corner) got boarded up yesterday, with a dumpster out back.

In July 2017 they were for sale:

Listed as an "investment and development opportunity":

Since then the businesses have vacated, and I assume residents moved out.

This is directly across the street from the other proposed development at 1439 Bloor at Perth:

1439 Bloor West | 47.75m | 14s | Neudorfer | Barrett

And 80 Perth Av--corner. This is the site of a funky old (RR?) house that was sadly torn down about a year ago. It may be by the same developer as those Lansdowne & Davenport lofts as sandwich boards from that development surround the site. Haven't seen a thread yet on UT, even though this...

With another building proposed just south of that at 72 Perth Ave:

72 Perth | 53.55m | 16s | Castlepoint Numa | Studio JCI

72 PERTH AVE Ward 18 - Tor & E.York District ►View All Properties The Proposed Development consists of a new mixed-use residential building with 105 rental apartment units, as well as commercial units/maker space at grade along the Perth Avenue frontage. A total gross floor area of 8,818.4...

Wondering if there are any plans etc. for this site yet.

12-15 storeys here sounds about right, and falls within relative consistency with the other proposals along this stretch.

A block to the east, there's also the reported property assembly by Lamb Dev Corp for 1405 Bloor St W:

The Sterling Automotive | 67.5m | 18s | Lamb Dev Corp | a—A

Just noticed this from Urbanation: It appears Brad Lamb has closed on the sale of 1405 Bloor St. W. Not sure if it's the entire triangle of land between Bloor/Sterling/Ruttan? If so that looks pretty large, and should be interesting to see what the plans will be.

The dumpster out back of the corner building was gone now when I passed by today. Looks like the buildings will remain in their current boarded up state for some time, until they get permits for demolition and/or submit a formal development application.

These homes are still occupied. No demolition plans. Only the storefront businesses were moved out.

Kingsett announcing it has finished a major land assembly with the above property.

Total assembly 22,500 sq ft.

Junction Triangle so hot right now.

1423 Bloor W is the SW corner at Sterling Rd, currently a house with a dentist office in it. I wonder if that assembly is for the remainder of the block along Bloor, which stretches westward towards Perth.

Several buildings at the Perth corner have already been boarded up for some time now:

I used the Daft Logic area calculator, it pretty much shows that it's that entire block. (what one would have expected)

Very crude drawing gets me 23,000 sq ft.

Good - that is one of the worst sections on all of Bloor Street. I'd love to see the north side get redeveloped too.

I live right nearby. I don't feel that it's the houses along here that make it crappy. It's the railway underpasses and speedway passthrough streetscape.

If anything, the newer developments to the east (townhouses on north and south sides) and BeBloor are far worse for the streetscape than the old houses/businesses. They're completely sterile.

I'd welcome a decent redevelopment though.

Apparently they need to fix the roads here to. They collect water at the crosswalks. I hate that. No reason for that to happen these days

KingSett also picked up the Value Village property at 1319 Bloor W. They're really going all in on this section of Bloor.

If it's a choice between this block even in its current form and BeBloor down the street, I'd choose this block any day of the week.

BeBloor certainly ain't great, but it's also an anomaly given that it's half in a railway corridor underpass.

There was an opportunity to make something better when they built it. But we ended up with this:

It was 2005-6. Standards were lower. Considering it's brick almost to the top, I'm really not that concerned with how it turned out.
