8 h. ago Plan to transform Toronto office building into huge tower slapped down by City

An ambitious plan to plop a tower on top of an existing office building has been slapped down by planners.The late 2021 proposal from Slate Asset Management, seeking to add new levels above the Modernist-style 1968-built Padulo Building at 1 St. Clair W., has hit a snag. A new report recommends that City Council refuse the proposed 49-storey development, throwing a wrench in the Gensler-designed development.And the impending refusal actually has nothing to do with height.First tabled in December 2021, the plan calls for the current 12-storey office building to be retained, expanded, and modernized, while two neighbouring low-rises at 11 and 13 St. Clair W. — home to Shenanigans Pub and a Pizzaiolo location — would be razed to make way for the new building.The office building would be renovated and expanded, while the two retail properties on the right would be torn down.
