20250111. Formerly the Estonian House, 958 Broadview Ave will be redeveloped into a condo tower. The good news is the original building will be rebuilt minus the 1960s and 1970s additions.

20250110. I’ve enjoyed taking photos from this parking garage at 200 Queens Quay West. Its time has now passed.
20250107. Hanging out at the Warden Station pedestrian entrance for the last time. Taken January 3rd.
20241230. Development signs change over time. They fade and some go from 40 to 105 storeys. The signs sit on the coloured large aggregate concrete of the doomed Toronto Star building.
20241229. Another concrete tower bites the dust. A demolition permit for the Toronto Star building was accepted by the city on Dec 4th.
20241227. It’s unusual to see an empty plot of land this big downtown (just north of Queen and Spadina). Guess what will be built here?
20241225. The Whitfield at Front and Sherbourne. The red on the second floor is reminiscent of the gas station that was on that corner.
20241223. Dwarfed Santouka.
20241222. 38-40 Dundas Street East is gone. From the Powell Chemical Company to the Kahn Optical Company to Teela Publications to Hakim Optical to nothing but a memory.
20241221. What a pair destined for demolition at 25 Imperial.
20241219. The new building fits in nicely in St. James Town.
20241217. Little House on the Corner
20241212. At Richmond and Peter.
20241119. Catching a glimpse of the CN Tower between the Distillery and Canary districts.
20241114. 477 Mount Pleasant Road (Crang & Boake, 1960), a mid-century modern office building slated for redevelopment.
20241009. Waiting to be incorporated north of Hooker Harvey’s.
20241006. Bye Banting.
20240930. The new Mirvish Village with its Bloor Street facade looking like six different buildings. Are you a fan of such facadism?
20240801. Behind the facade at Queen and Church, home of the future QueenChurch condos.
20240622. The way the IMMIX rental building handles Fire Hall #3 and its clock tower (1872) strikes me as overly busy with patterned balconies and discordant materials at ground level but I do like the quality of restoration by ERA Architects, the glass facade of the long gone hall and the way the clock face is against a more subtle background.
20240604. Demolition of the second-last old (around 1947) mid-rise apartment building in Regent Park continues. The CN Tower series will return shortly.
20240506. After removing the paint at the old Palace Arms (second image), the masonry was found in very poor condition. So, instead of saving the facades, they will be replicated using salvaged materials where possible resulting in commemoration not conservation.
20240505. All that sky on the Danforth means a redevelopment is happening. Here comes Pape Station on the Ontario Line.
20240503. March of the Condominiums V.
20240502. Public art at Yonge and St. Clair (Phlegm, 2016) on the Padulo building (Sigmund D. F. Reszetnik, 1968). We will lose the mural when this building is widened and 37 storeys are added on top.
