New commercial space at Adelaide/Spadina

Local residents were invited to a pre-application meeting on June 27th regarding this site which sits on the south west corner of Adelaide and Spadina, consisting of a heritage building at 97 Spadina Avenue (familiar as the Dollarama store), another heritage building at 379 Adelaide and two unremarkable buildings at 391 Adelaide.  The plan is to keep both heritage structures intact (no facadism here) and to erect, at the 391 address, a new construction that complements the older pair.

To stack new construction on top of heritage structures requires some creative engineering, described here in this account by UrbanToronto.ca:
