Looking forward to this development. Definitely a game changer for the area.

This looks amazing! Cool that they're keeping some industrial uses here, inasmuch as craft brewing could be considered industry.

Funny that Indie Ale House is moving in so close to Henderson Brewing.

Where are they moving to? Or are they opening a second location?

Where are they moving to? Or are they opening a second location?

From the link on the previous page:

Within its 8 storeys, the building will house a mixture of industrial and commercial uses, including the manufacturing operations of Indie Ale House, a long standing Junction neighbourhood brewery.

I'd assume they'll stay where they are in the Junction and open a second location/expand their brewing capability with this location. Anyway, it's not really a big conflict with Henderson. Craft beer, like coffee, seems to enjoy infinitely elastic demand in this town.

Back on topic, this is a good looking building. It's going to be fascinating watching this area transform over the next few years. Hopefully existing people & uses aren't pushed out.

It's a quantum leap from Be Bloor.

There's a Facebook group now formed for any buyers of this project...

Buyers are receiving legal notices this morning that Castlepoint NUMA is cancelling the project and blaming the city of Toronto for not issuing permits.

 

[Edward Skira]

Wow that sucks!

 

[AlbertC]

This is awful news.

Where's the dislike button?

All purchasers here need to contact Ana Bailao's office with phone calls and emails, demanding to know the specifics of what happened regarding the permits.

As my agent just informed me, this seems to be a current practice of developers realizing their project is suddenly under-valued, cancelling it, blaming someone else, then relaunching in a year or so with prices 30% more.

Also, the Junction Triangle was named by Toronto Life just this week as the city's new most desirable (new) neighbourhood. I'm not a conspiracy man generally, but this seems pretty apparent.

The GTA's Next Hot Neighbourhoods

Academy, Central Park Ajax, University Suites, the Kennedy's, Sail, Danforth Square and Kennedy Gardens are other projects that may have had the same thing happen this year.

My mind was thinking along the same conspiracy lines, Jason. Similar thing happened at the church-loft conversion up the street at Perth and Wallace, though for different reasons.
