10 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.

13 h. ago Toronto store around for 12 years gets new start after forced closure for condos

A local, affordable grocer forced out by a condo development this past summer is preparing for a long-awaited comeback just a few steps from its former home.Residents around Yonge Street and Davisville Avenue voiced their concerns over the summer as a block of neighbourhood shops on the northeast corner was vacated to make way for a new condo project.The abrupt clearance swept out several long-standing businesses, including two budget-friendly grocers, namely Fruits Basket and Fresh Buy Market, as well as a neighbourhood sports bar.The project sparked frustration among local residents, many of whom pointed out that the two grocers were vital for some community members, including seniors, who relied on the walkable stores in place of farther, and higher-priced chains like Metro.Among the business casualties was the decades-old sports bar, Kramer's Bar & Grill, which, aside from its staple chicken wings and pints, became known for its community events, like triv...

46 h. ago Ontario dessert shop known for beautiful cakes opening first Toronto location

A dessert shop in Ontario that's gained a cult following thanks to its visually stunning sweets is about to open a location in downtown Toronto.I'm a salty girl myself, but even for those of us who would reach for a savoury snack over a sweet one ten times out of ten, there's something about a dessert that's as beautiful to look at as it is delicious that no one can resist.Though the urge to pick up a sweet treat dons on me very rarely, when it does, very little can be done to satiate it, barring getting in the car and driving myself directly to the source of my craving. Sometimes it just needs to be done.If there's one bakery in the GTA that can always get me in the mood for something sugary, even by merely seeing photos of its confections, it's Markham's I Am A Cake.Bearing a comically literal name and an appropriately dry sign (all lowercase, in a sans-serif red font), the desserts on offer at the bakery are far from boring. Maybe the name and the sign...
