Instead it will probably remain another craptastic block filled with pawn shops for another decade or two, and then someone will come along who just wants to bulldoze the whole block and we lose some more heritage buildings. Yay.

Exactly my thoughts. This will probably end up going all the way to council to approve, and then council will have to decide which option they want: breaking a few policies for a special case, or have run down pawn shops in prime development area for decades more, or worse yet, have the buildings demolished, and have the land sit as parking at grade.
