In late September 2020, KingSett Capital proposed a re-development of this site. KingSett Capital has expressed interest in demolishing 1354-1356 Queen Street West, while retaining 1358-1360 Queen Street West.  

KingSett Capital alleges that the stucco exterior on 1354-1356 Queen Street West (installed post-1996) renders the building "unsalvegeable."  This claim is disputed by the surrounding community, as stucco is removable and many buildings around the City of Toronto are having stucco removed as part of heritage preservation and restoration projects. 

The City of Torotno Heritage Preservation Services has identified that both 1354-1356 Queen Street West and 1358-1360 Queen Street West are heritage assets per the Parkdale Main Street Heritage Conservation District.

1354-1356 Queen Street West and 1358-1360 Queen Street West should both be retained. 

The property also includes the addresses 2 to 6 Brock Avenue along its Brock Avenue (east) elevation.

1354-1356 Queen Street West is listed as being under construction in the 1890 City of Toronto Directory and is first listed as being occupied in the 1891 City of Toronto Directory. 

1354-1356 Queen Street West was originally 2 storefronts that were combined together during the 20th century.
