May 31 2011: A small section of brick wall is all that remains…

 

… as demolition of a building that once stood at 67 St Nicholas Street continues …

 

… to make way for construction of the Nicholas Residences condo tower, depicted in these artistic illustrations from the condo project website

 

Nearly gone: Demolition of the former Regis College buildings at the southeast corner of St Mary and St Nicholas Streets was nearly finished when I walked past the site Tuesday afternoon. All that remained of the buildings was a section of brick wall running along the south perimeter of the property, where construction is expected to start soon for the 35-storey Nicholas Residences condo tower. Full details of the Nicholas Residences project are outlined in my March 31 2011 post, while photos of Regis College demolition activity during early May can be viewed in my May 11 2011 post. Below are more photos I snapped Tuesday of demolition activity at the condo project site.
