The 1936 heritage building known as Postal Station K has been depicted in drawings as a fully refurbished and intact centrepiece of a development to be known as Montgomery Square. The name acknowledges the site at Yonge Street and Montgomery Avenue as the location of Montgomery Tavern, a meeting place for rebellious Upper Canadians during the insurrection of 1837. The plans come forward from the Rockport Group, a 50 year old Toronto area developer which began by building single family homes in the Guildwood area of Scarborough. The Rockport plan for Postal Station K calls for the demolition of a brick distribution centre which sits behind the limestone heritage building. The president of Rockport, Jack Winberg, is quoted by writer Eric Emin Wood in My Town Crier as saying the limestone postal station will be restored to its original architectural flavour. Rockport will build a 26-storey residential tower on the site of the demolished distribution centre and attach the new structure to the heritage building with a four-storey glass atrium. Karen Stintz (Ward 16) has said that the city has expressed its intention to designate the building as historically significant and the developer has accepted that intent. Ms Stintz also said that the building will continue to operate as a post office until a new postal facility is constructed by Rockport in a development known as the Wicksteed Business Park now being planned in Leaside.
