More intensification for Midtown!

I would not be upset to see this one go, however, it is curious that they are not including the corner property.
 
Architect is Giovanni A. Tassone:

Lester Pearson's former home to make way for 8-storey development

Nobel Prize winner's childhood home doesn't meet preservation standards, board told

The childhood home of one of Canada's most celebrated prime ministers will soon be demolished to make way for an eight-story development in midtown Toronto.

In a report to be presented at Thursday's meeting of the Toronto Preservation Board, staff say although the house at 1984 Yonge St., just north of Davisville Avenue, was Lester B. Pearson's home for the first three years of his life, the building shouldn't be included in the city's Heritage Register.
 
New docs posted April 11. A 1.5 m setback has been added above the 3rd storey:

I love narrow midrise buildings. They mean more architectural variety and more engaging streetscapes for pedestrians. I hope the prominent sidewall will be tastefully finished.

It's really great to see a building like this that expects intensification on each side of it contributing to a streetwall. Even if buildings like this aren't well done, maintaining a fine-grained streetscape while intensifying is very welcome.

Let's hope the design of the sides is more De Stijl, less random spandrel mess.
