I've seen some activity that looks pretty unsafe with the big machinery. They've worked all hours and weekends--gotta be hard on the crew and hard on the neighbors. A lot of backtracking too--they put up some framing, then tore it back down in the summer, put in sod, but now they park cars on it.
Work is still going on the commercial spaces but signage is up... some tenants are from the former building that was on site (all retail is a food hall concept again). This looks to be just take out counters; I don't see where any seating could fit. That's going to be problematic for the library next door.
That still the case? Through the windows, I don't see a stairwell in the eatery portion to the 2nd floor. Access to the 2nd floor is from a second entrance, as far as I can tell, and I am guessing is residential.
Just to clarify this one... It was actually demolition and construction of THIS house in the photo that resulted in structural instability of the neighbour, which was owned by U of T. The fenced off portion in the photo is the site of where said unstable house had to be demolished. The lot just to the north of THAT is also owned by U of T and is what has sat vacant for years as a community parkette. More info here: https://www.blogto.com/real-estate-toronto/2021/10/358-huron-street-toronto/Didn't want to start a new thread, but just across the street to the south of Glen Morris St, there's a 2-unit residential building being constructed in place of an old house that had to be demolished due to it being unstable after its neighboring semi-detached house was torn down.

^Update on the above. It's a pretty underwhelming structure, they should've gone for 1 or 2 more floors.
The vacant fenced off land beside it belongs to U of T and has been left that way for years:
