7 EGLINTON AVE E
Ward 22 - Tor & E.York District

Application for Site Plan Approval to construct a new 7-storey storey building, containing office uses and a place of worship (Salvation Army)

 

[GenerationLee]

Hmm, interesting.

 

[Edward Skira]

This is the former Salvation Army site that's going to be one of the entrances to the new Crosstown Station. Good to see density above the stop.

New office space at Yonge Eglinton, even if a smaller building like this, is always welcome as well.

 

[WislaHD]

This is awesome! I am glad something is coming to this site after all!

 

[PMT]

This is being developed by Metrolinx on behalf of the Salvation Army. Architect is IBI.

 

[innsertnamehere]

Hmm only 4 floors.

 

[PMT]

Says so in the "# of storeys" field in the application.

 

[WislaHD]

Even if just 4 floors, this is absolutely lovely.

Hpefully the alley ends up looking something like that too.

 

[GenerationLee]

Not bad at all! I think I like the brick of the previous building better, purely based on hue, although this is a very clean and clear design that is really good for the area.

 

[AlbertC]

Appears that construction or at least prep work is already in place on site.

 

[bilked]

An LED cross tho?

How about "Repent and Be Saved" in pink neon?

 

[Tulse]

Is this supposed to also have an entrance to the Crosstown? It's not immediately apparent in the render where that would be.

This Sally Ann's location should be open to LGBT individuals (despite the church favouring traditional marriage).
