Location: 412 Church Street<\/em> Near the Ryerson University campus, an Ontario heritage building that was once used as a bar and nightclub received a development application that could turn it into a purpose-built rental high-rise.<\/p>\n The Stephen Murphy Houses and Store was built in 1891, and was previously occupied by the Barn and Stables nightclub until 2012, followed by the now-closed The Marquis of Granby pub. The development application would retain the Stephen Murphy Houses and Store as part of the base building to the tower above, which would house 319 units.<\/p>\n Location: 49 Yonge Street<\/a><\/em> A landmark of the Yonge and Wellington streets intersection, the Irish Embassy Pub & Grill has long been a spot for pints of Guinness and Irish cuisine.<\/p>\n In November, plans were unveiled to convert the existing 1870s heritage building that houses the restaurant into the base of a slender tower. Two levels of underground parking, office and amenity space would be included in the 60-storey high-rise.<\/p>\n Location: 410 Sherbourne Street<\/a><\/em> The Phoenix Concert Hall has attracted musicians from all over, including Tegan and Sara and The Foo Fighters. News recently broke that the nightclub was potentially up for redevelopment thanks to a 39-storey mixed-use tower proposed by Sorbara Group of Companies. A retail space on the ground floor of the proposed building would \u201chonour the site\u2019s history of live music performance,\u201d according to the planning rationale.<\/p>\n The Phoenix Concert Hall joins a long list of Toronto music venues<\/a> that have been or are slated to be converted into residential developments.<\/p>\n Location: 100 Bond Street<\/a><\/em> The Imperial Pub near Dundas and Bond streets has been a gathering place for folks since the 1940s, and has been run by generations of the same family since its opening, according to planning documents.<\/p>\n This summer, plans were made public to redevelop the site into a 30-storey tower that would include new retail space and interior sunrooms in the majority of the units, but no parking.<\/p>\n Location: 241 Richmond Street<\/a><\/em>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/412-church-street.jpg\")
