Current Status of Site
In December 2007 the site was bought by a partnership of Israel Land Development Company and Skyline International Development Inc. (the Canadian division of Mishorim) from the property's receiver for C$24.1 million. The partners announced plans to build a 55-storey office, hotel, and residential skyscraper on the site for an estimated C$138 million. A 54-storey design by Page+Steele architects was later revealed.
By 2011, after several designs had been released, no construction had begun. In December 2011 Mishorim sold the undeveloped lot to CentreCourt Developments for C$39 million. CentreCourt, in partnership with Lifetime, is now marketing a new development on the lot as INDX Condos.

Famous quotes containing the words current, status and/or site:
“It is not however, adulthood itself, but parenthood that forms the glass shroud of memory. For there is an interesting quirk in the memory of women. At 30, women see their adolescence quite clearly. At 30 a woman’s adolescence remains a facet fitting into her current self.... At 40, however, memories of adolescence are blurred. Women of this age look much more to their earlier childhood for memories of themselves and of their mothers. This links up to her typical parenting phase.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“The influx of women into paid work and her increased power raise a woman’s aspirations and hopes for equal treatment at home. Her lower wage and status at work and the threat of divorce reduce what she presses for and actually expects.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“It’s given new meaning to me of the scientific term black hole.”
