You've placed it on the wrong (north) side of Isabella, where House of Lords is (was). Should be on that south, vacant corner!

I also suspect (hope) this particular development has failed.

Thanks for catching that. Fixed now...

Finally something 'out of the box

We might be seeing some changes coming to this.

Per Realnet - 619 Yonge was bought by the owners of 625 (Rabba Fine Foods) as part of a land assembly.

That's annoying. The fine grain of Yonge continues to erode...

These properties were included in the Historic Yonge HCD interim demolition ban. I wonder if that will affect the project if it needs to be approved again because of the additional property.

Why??

This is listed as an upcoming development on Edenshaw's website, and Condonow has it listed as starting sales in Q1 2020.. Could this be back from the dead?

Personally I wonder what those buildings would look like if they stripped the paint off and gave them a proper restoration. I recall the building on the corner was once a Canadian Tire, and had a interesting cupola on the roof.

As recent renovations on Yonge Street show- there's plenty of hidden gems hidden beneath the paint and signage.

The Edwardian style 631-637 Yonge Street building dates back to 1905. I've been trying to search for an older photo before they painted it over but unfortunately couldn't find one.

That's a very cool shot Alex, thanks for sharing.

The streetscape really hasn't changed much in 100 years, save for the car and what looks like some sort of garbage bin in the left.

Edenshaw have recently reformatted their website. Apart from updating all their ongoing Mississauga projects, they still have 625 Yonge actively among their upcoming developments "coming soon". Although, it doesn't necessarily state Q1 2020 anymore. I just hope they scrapped the design of the original proposal.

I'll always remember that corner building as the first and only time I've ever had conveyor belt sushi in this city lol.
