The old Leaside Town Hall at 235 McRae Drive has been sold after more than six months on the market. The new owner is not yet known. So far there is no price revealed nor is the new owner giving out a name. All inquiries at the agent, Seligman Commercial, and at the building itself, are met with refusals to say who is taking over this heritage building from Leaside’s past. The present tenant of 235 McRae is Kelley McTernan Lavoie, an interior design firm which has done work for Four Seasons International, Deloitte National and other well known firms. A woman in the office said “the neighborhood will be pleased” with what the new owners are going to do with 235 McRae But she would not say who the owner is. Adding to the mystery is the odd closing date — nearly a year from now on May 4, 2014. The secrecy is not impenetrable because this information is required by Ontario land registry legislation but that’s after the deal closes next year. Let’s hope it leaks out sooner. Previous post
