As mentioned in an earlier post, the existing BMO building being revitalized might be a pipe dream due to who owns it. It's owned by Creccal, who also owns the Crossways building by the Dundas West station, and they aren't known for their "community spirit". They were the ones preventing the underground tunnel connecting Dundas West station with the UPX station all these years.

Yes, but who knows what they intend to do with it? Perhaps they'll sell it.

Also, consider that they now own Westmount Square in Montreal. So it wouldn't be the first time they own something by one of the greatest architects of a generation :)

A pharmacy is opening here

Hope this one is open later than 7pm and also on Sundays...would be a unique offering for the neighbourhood.

Also, the sidewalk is looking horrible. I wonder what went wrong here?? Sinkhole? The intersection has been flooding/getting fixed by the city regularly on this corner for at least a year, but this caved in section is farther east along the sidewalk in front of the BMO.

There is a minor variance application in for this project to allow the second floor to be converted from office space to a commercial gym.

The architectural plans submitted for the CofA application are wild. There is no residential elevator access at the ground floor (except by a limited parking shuttle). To access the main building elevators, residents have to navigate a rabbit warren of corridors, go up a full flight of stairs, and walk down another long corridor to get into the elevators on the second floor. I have never seen anything like it in a building of this size.
 
Definitely.. odd, and a clear prioritization of the commercial space in the building. I admit it's highly unusual though and the space saved is mostly at the back of some of the smaller retail units so I'm not really sure why they opted for that design..

What is the split between condo and rental here?
Click to expand...
44 Rental units on floors 4,5, of which 8 units are rental replacement.

58 Condo units on floors 6,7,8.

Yup, @saynotofaux the interior layout here is pretty wild, especially for condo unit dwellers who have to ride one elevator up from the garage or ground floor to level two, then switch to another set of elevators for their suites above. Rental unit dwellers have a particularly long and discouraging walk to amenity spaces on level 2 from their elevators, but at least it's the same elevator from ground floor to units.
