5 h. ago Toronto Beer Store location would be ripped down for huge condo tower

Toronto locations of the Beer Store are dropping like flies following Doug Ford's expansion of alcohol sales to grocery and convenience stores, and another brick-and-mortar outpost of the once-ubiquitous brew shop is preparing to bite the dust.A development application has been filed to redevelop the existing Beer Store at 3130 Danforth Ave, along with its associated surface parking lot at 3150 Danforth.While no closing date has been announced, it would mark just the latest in a growing list of Beer Store closures.Google Street ViewDeveloper Crombie REIT hopes to tear down the current retail space and replace it with a 36-storey condo tower designed by architects Arcadis.With a proposed height of 116.7 metres, excluding mechanical penthouse space, the tower is planned to rise far taller than anything else that exists in the neighbourhood today.While the proposed height may end up ruffling some feathers among locals, the plan is located just a few hundred metres from Victoria Par...
