Concourse Restaurant / Galaxy Donuts Update

2853 Dundas Street West - Sept 1 -01

Post by Martin L.

The scaffolding is still up around 2853 Dundas Street West but the new face of an old building is already visible and I like what I see.

The missing brickwork has been restored, the facade is retuned to its original brick and the Thompson Block looks to be on its way to being one of the best buildings in the Junction and a great example of building restoration.2853 Dundas Street West - Sept 1 -02

According to their website the restoration company, Micro Clean is also responsible for other restoration projects in the Junction including the West Toronto Paint building on the corner of Pacific and Dundas.

Hopefully the building owner on the North West corner of Keele and Dundas will take notice and schedule his building soon.

During this project much has been said about the street level tenants and the cliental of the Concourse Restaurant.  Hopefully this project will motivate the restaurant owners to match the building exterior and cleanup the inside up for the enjoyment of its existing customers and the rest of the community.

  1. This is one stunning building, it seems Micro Clean is doing an excellent job in the Junction. I saw that they are doing 2 houses on Clendenan, just south of Dundas. It is amazing to see building owners investing extra cash into restoring their buildings back to their original state.

  2. on a side note. Does anyone know what happened on that corner last night (Saturday Sept. 5) at around midnight? Lots of police and somebody got carried away on a stretcher.

  3. I guess you are unfamiliar with the owner of the building on the NW corner. I don't think it will be scheduled for rejuvenation anytime soon...
