At its meeting of November 30, December 1, 2, 4 and 7, 2009, City Council approved a rezoning application for the properties at 252-258 Victoria Street and 19 and 21 Dundas Square that allows the development of part of the site with a 35-storey office/residential building.   The proposal involves the demolition of the Hermant Annex located at 258 Victoria Street, which is listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties. The owner has agreed to the designation of the Dundas Square properties and to enter into Heritage Easement Agreements with the City of Toronto for each of the sites.
