Wasn't the facade of House of Chan supposed to be preserved as part of the station? If so, is that now a lost opportunity thanks to the collapse?

Why is this bad news?
As mentioned in the statement, the building was set to come down anyway. Work along the rest of the Crosstown route is continuing, and it looks like they may be ahead of schedule here too now thanks to the forced demolition of this other property over night.

Wow! That's crazy. I didn't realize that was grounds for preservation. Thanks for sharing those screen caps

My guess is because Eglinton will be closed to traffic until demolition is completed.

If a demolition permit was issued, there would not have been a heritage designation in progress.

The façade may have been gone, but House of Chan still lives, with a reconstructed, albeit smaller, façade in its new location.

To me the tweet sounded as if the adjacent building was not supposed to be demolished. I should have read the complete statement instead of skimming over most of the details, but I was on my mobile device at the time. My bad.

The Ministry of Labour is investigating two companies as a result of the building collapse: Crosslinx and Delsan-AIM Environmental Services. The investigation could take up to a year to complete.
