Kensington Market is one of the few corners of downtown Toronto that has managed to evade redevelopment against all odds, its one-way streets still home to the recognizable, varying facades that have housed some of the same small businesses for decades.But, while many may think the pocket spanning Dundas to College Street just west of Spadina is immune to the reaches of gentrification, it doesn't actually have adequate heritage protections to prevent flashy, high-density new condos from popping up and antagonizing to the vibe that has always characterized the neighbourhood.Few things revealed the recent risk to the district more than a 2023 proposal that aimed to refashion a $24 million stretch of Victorian semi-detached homes and businesses along Kensington Ave. into a mid-rise building — something not out of the realm of possibilities per Toronto's Official Plan, which only asks that new development be consiste...
