According to one of the news reports on this Now Leasing sign, Beume has apparently owned this lot for the last 40 years but has been waiting for the neighbourhood to gentrify before introducing plans for a development. He first did so five years ago when he proposed a similar project on the parking lot at 1 Vine but neglected to erect a sign and so garnered much less media hype.

Trivia: Beume also lays claim to another milestone moment. He owns and perhaps developed the mini mall at James and Wilson. That opened in 1987, apparently trading on the redevelopment of the Eaton Centre (opened 1990), which I believe was the last new build on James North.
