A prominent government office building in midtown Toronto could soon be torn down to make way for a high-flying residential tower that would soar far taller than anything else in the surrounding area.
Located on the southeast corner of Avenue Road and St. Clair, the site is currently home to a 14-storey office building that houses the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, at least until its lease expires in 2025. The current building boasts a Modernist design typical of mid-20th-century office buildings, and while the building lacks heritage protections, its clean architecture will surely be missed by some.
The site was previously envisioned to be redeveloped with a much shorter tower than what is being proposed in 2024, comparable to the heights of other nearby residential developments constructed in the years since a new tower was first pitched for this location.
