City, cabinet agree on plan for Dominion Foundry buildings

The City of Toronto and the Government of Ontario have agreed on a plan to incorporate the old Dominion Foundry buildings on Eastern Ave into any new residential development on the site. The property is owned by the province and was the subject of intense community resistance to demolishing the historic factories. No proposal has yet been made for the site. Images released this week from CORE Architects Inc. depict a structure in which the exteriors walls of the building form the first floor of a development.
