Fixed up and restored, this old apartment building could've been converted into luxury condos. Kind of sad to see it destroyed.

I'd much rather see those shitty brown blocks right to the west of it go.

I'm kind of sad to see that rental building go, I liked it a lot. But I'm sure this will be a good addition to the neighbourhood. There are some beautiful walk-ups just a bit west of here that I hope will stick around for years to come.

What I really like about this building (and also HighPark Condominiums) is that they add retail to this stretch. The stretch of Bloor along High Park is the only gap in what is otherwise an uninterrupted retail main street all the way from Church Street west to the Humber River. I'm glad these are starting to fill that in & will help to further animate the north side (rather than the interior) of the park.

The crane went up 10 days ago and the best updates are found at www.thehighpark.com but today there was no action on site--probably due to the heat alert?

Or maybe a construction holiday shutdown?
