The smaller building to the south does not seem like it’s worth saving very minimum details on it that are remotely interesting. The red brick building beside and at that direct corner though... has a lot of character. Glad they are trying to save these though. As a Main Street that has just glass canyons looks bad anyways. These heritage fronts keep the charm along Yonge. (And Queen street)

It will makes sense once the facade is completely cleaned and restored.

What’s with the concrete blocks? A different kind of hoarding?

I believe the plan is to build this one out of lego. They have my vote!

Likely will support the bracing for the heritage facade, such as the ones for 65 Front St E, 19 Duncan, Nobu, etc.

"The city’s plan also identified 44 parks and open spaces that were protected from additional shadows cast by new buildings but the memo points out that developers will now only be required to “adequately limit net-new shadows.""

Quite the Berlin Wall going up there. I don't remember other façade retention projects (King Blue etc.) doing the same thing?

East United had a whole bunch of concrete blocks for its heritage facade, though not configured quite like this

Sunday:

 

[whatever]

That's not going to be a sketchy sidewalk to go down at 2am. Not at all.

 

[Rascacielo]

Maybe the buildings were used as illegal dispensaries

On the bright side, it's probably now the only sidewalk in the city on which pedestrians are genuinely safe from drivers.

The historic remains was under attack after the Raptors made history.
