Would they have to encase the existing home in glass (or preserve it some other way) in order to do a condo development on this site?

Correction: Neighbouring site was just approved for increased density and height allowances.
I can imagine that this might be a property where the City holds the new owner to a tight leash. As one of the oldest still standing buildings in the City, I could see that it would be a challenge to propose anything that is not sympathetic. Another route could be to follow the Campbell House Museum which is in the heart of Toronto, across from Osgoode Hall.
