Holy Moly! A church in The Junction is on the market for $8.95 million.....http://news.buzzbuzzhome.com/2014/08/junction-church-for-sale.html

This church is SOLD and a developer did buy it.. There is a sign on the lot which describes what they plan on doing with it.

It's good that the local churches are being preserved in some form. Otherwise, Annette Street would lose its character as the Junction's historic "Church Street".

Let's not get into a debate on religion please.

No debate about religion here...

Well… now there isn't. The posts that got into that discussion have all be moved to a new thread here.

I think church conversions in principle are great! Especially ones with a lot of period architectural motifs and ornamentation - this one looks promising. Alas, the devil is in the details.

By TRAC Developments and Turner Fleischer Architects.

Most church-to-condo conversions have been pretty tasteful in this area, but I can't say the same about this one. This looks tacked on, there's no recognition of the church's architecture at all. The abrupt meeting of the old and new is just so awkward.

Note to self: buy stock in mullions, spandrel.

Turner Fleischer? Well we can write this one off right away.

If it looked more like Core Architects' Fashion House I could tolerate it.

Does this also include the land of the two houses to the south, or just the church's parking lot behind the houses?

Looks like an office building. Very unfortunate plan.

It includes the land of one house to the south.

If we're just talking in terms of a quick glance and visual expression only, this might be the best Turner Fleischer project to date.
