Not to mention the possible renovation of more of the American Hotel block.
I think this is showing that downtown is more than just King St, that it is slowly but surely expanding.

There is no tenant identified yet, but this would make very attractive office space.
I walked past there this morning, it looks well done.
The former Pinto Shop across the street (243 King E) also looks done, they were putting on the finishing touches outside. But no sign of a tenant there, either.
The Little Pinto shop building is a pretty amazing improvement - I think the upstairs is now occupied (residence or business, I don't know). It looks like a deck will be added upstairs at the back. Even the area behind the building has been fully landscaped.
