Toronto Minto Westside | 68.88m | 20s | Minto Group | Wallman Architects

No render has been released as of yet. The building housing the Sherwin Williams store will be demolished once the store vacates the premises.

The developers are requesting a zoning bylaw amendment and are looking to go as tall as 22 floors for one of the buildings, which would be located on the corner of Front and Bathurst.
 
Damn. The Sherwin Wiliams building is really worth keeping - it embodies the character that made King West so interesting in the first place. It is a solid building with simple but beautiful brick detailing. If restored it could be put to great use like the heritage properties on King between Spadina and Brant.
 
I inquired today at the location. Sherwin Williams' lease ends Dec 31/11. They would like to relocate in the same area to service their clients. In the meantime, the rest of the buildings are coming down.

It's such a waste of a valuable, scarce commodity in this city.
 
The hording is going up on the north side as well the west side. Fencing up on the south side.

It seems, in Toronto, that for each condo that goes up the City loses a piece of Fun :(
..at this rate, Toronto will be Hogtown once again!

They did realocate in the city ... not that close though, quite a bit to the west if I recall.

And we get new things too ... bolliwing alley ... ping pong studio ... not sure what that's called, anyone been there before ?

To bad the north building could not be part of this project.
