Although listed in the application, the heritage building is not part of the proposed development. Originally constructed in 1907 and restored extensively in the 2010s, it was long associated with Home Furniture, later Marty Millionaire, and more recently WE Charity. The property will become the new St Lawrence District Library, replacing the existing neighbourhood branch on Front Street. Toronto Public Library plans to open the new branch in late 2028, expanding services for the growing Moss Park, Corktown, and St Lawrence communities.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/12\/59966\/59966-191534.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-befaabc3-873f-403d-8636-a79a3f2866d6\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"Future Toronto Public Library branch at Queen and Parliament\" title=\"Future Toronto Public Library branch at Queen and Parliament, image courtesy of TPL\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/12\/59966\/59966-191534.jpg', true, 'Future Toronto Public Library branch at Queen and Parliament, image courtesy of TPL'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Future Toronto Public Library branch at Queen and Parliament, image courtesy of TPL<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/urbantoronto.ca\/database\/companies\/bousfields.7652\" target=\"_blank\">Bousfields<\/a> has now submitted Zoning By-law Amendment and Rental Housing Demolition and Conversion applications to the City of Toronto on behalf of the developer.\u00a0The plan centres on a new mixed-use tower rising 162.2m.
