New development plans could demolish row of restaurants in Toronto’s Little Tokyo
“If that happened, it would be very hard for us,” says Syed Rahman, store manager and co-owner of Indian Biriyani House at 181 Dundas St. W.After 15 years on this strip, Rahman says he can’t begin to fathom losing his restaurant — his second home — so soon after nearly losing it to the pandemic.“We have so many loans from the bank and from the government. We hope that they will not approve this thing because we are a small business,” said Rahman.
“We are 10 people working here and everybody benefits from here. I don’t know what will happen to us in the future.” Global News reached out to the developers behind the plan for comment, but did not hear back before deadline. The renderings show the design concept of the 41-storey building, done by Scott Shields Architects.
