Agreed. Do you think they might sell to condo builders? The site across the street asked for 33 storeys:

Bathurst-Richmond Condo Resubmitted for More Height, Density | UrbanToronto

Originate Developments has submitted a reworked proposal for Reside on Richmond. Designed by KIRKOR Architects and Planners, the building's height increases to 33 storeys, within walking distance of the Queen-Spadina and King-Bathurst stations on the upcoming Ontario Line 3.

They could.............but.

This site doesn't actually have its zoning in place, according to the AIC, no Site Plan either.

As such, if you're compelling any buyer to start fresh, you'll be accepting a much lower price.

Allied has also collapsed / closed its Development and Construction departments so it'll be a long while before anything takes hold here. If ever...

I know but it will change the calculus around how this block evolves.

I love it in Vancouver where they turn vacant lots (often waiting for construction) into temporary parks, communal gardens, playgrounds, or dog parks. Allied seems to be the type of developer who would be more inclined to doing something like this for the community.

There’s condo site up at Yonge & Rosehill that was made into a temporary community pickleball courts which is an excellent idea::

Yonge & Rosehill | 167.9m | 52s | Originate | Moriyama Teshima Architects

Howdy! The newest meanwhile use in Toronto! And they are going to have a café! ☕️🍷🥳🏓
