Is that building in the last image going to be demolished?

No -- in fact, I don't believe it was part of the land assembly.

Correct - it's a nail house.

So how does EllisDon put up a sign on a building that doesn't belong to them?

Oh, that’s unfortunate.
You knock on their door and ask them how much they want to allow the sign on their wall. Then you pay them.

As noted previously, this is the hold out property which was not purchased. The whole development works around it.

I think that it will look rather strange being surrounded by this new and modern development that is a completely different architectural style. I think that if it was demolished it would have been more cohesive looking.

The fundamental driver of the design of this project was that it was to look like a number of thin, independent buildings. That there is an actual nail house (two actually) here only serves to strengthen that position.

They actually do own the property where the Ellis Don sign is. The do not own the one beside it.

Huh -- had thought the design for the park was already baked, but apparently not; from Cressy's newsletter:
Community Visioning: Future Mirvish Village Park
In July 2017, City Council approved the redevelopment plan for Mirvish Village.
For two years, we worked together with local communities and residents' associations - Annex Residents' Association (ARA), Seaton Village Residents' Association (SVRA), Palmerston Area Residents' Association (PARA) and the Harbord Village Residents' Association (HVRA), local BIAs, businesses, City staff and other stakeholders - towards the objectives emerging from the work on The Four Corners Study. 2 After two revisions to the proposal, we were able to achieve critical changes that resulted in a more suitable, sustainable, and equitable project for our communities.
One of these critical components of the approved project is the creation of a new public park on the east side of Markham Street. On July 9th, join us for the very first session to discuss the vision of the future new park:
