The intersection of King and Sherbourne has changed quite a bit over the past few years, and while the changes may not be as monumental as those seen in the downtown core and other ultra-high-density neighbourhoods, the addition of some key mid-rise infill developments have gone a long way in adding vibrance to this streetscape. In today's edition of Throwback Thursday, we take a look at the intersection's growth over the past 11 years.
In the west-facing view below from May 2, 2003, MOZO Condos has topped-off, with brick and glass rising half way up the building. In front of it to the immediate east, steel bracing holds up the walls of an old bank branch and shows that work is under way on King's Court Condos.
Just over 11 years later, MOZO and King's Court are both long-completed and occupied on the northwest and northeast corners of King and Sherbourne.
The south side of King Street has also been transformed by development, as seen in the comparison below.
In the 11 years since the photo above was taken, East Lofts has helped to continue an impressive streetwall along King. On the far right of the image below, we can see the site of King + Condos, currently under construction at the intersection's southeast corner.
We will return next week with another look at the changing face of Toronto!
