This week's Throwback Thursday takes us to Yonge Street, just south of St. Clair Avenue in Midtown Toronto. Looking back to October 2016, when demolition was just getting started on a two-storey commercial building at 1331 Yonge Street. Formerly the headquarters of CHUM Radio and more recently in use by The Brand Factory, the building was demolished to make way for a new mid-rise condominium development.

Two years and five months later, construction of The Jack Condos by Aspen Ridge Homes, is topped off and glazing installation is well underway on the Quadrangle-designed building. Expected to wrap up construction later this year, the project will add 109 new suites to the neighbourhood.

We will return next week with another look at the changing face of Toronto!
